- I have never broken a bone.
- I have never played Angry Birds.
- I have never changed the oil in my own car.
- I have never had a dog.
- I have never worked for a national retail or food chain.
- I have never ate fresh mango. (Although, I had my first plum and nectarine at age 30, and have loved every fruit I've ever tried, save pineapple and raw apples.)
- I have never bought my own Christmas tree -- I'm saving this "never" for the appropriate time.
- I have never gone skiing.
- I have never viewed in their entirety: Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, or any Pixar movie. Blame this one on the parents.
- I have never played a first-person shooter by myself.
- I have never had a girlfriend on the 4th of July. (Yes, an arbitrary date, but I've always thought summer fireworks were romantic.)
- I have never driven a stick shift -- trust me, there's a race car driver that does not need to be unleashed.
- I have never smoked anything, though I had this crazy dream one time...
- I have never painted a wall.
- I have never taken an operational driver's test, but have passed a written one three times. God bless Indiana.
- I have never chosen to spend my time on a project rather than a person -- time is easily my strongest love language.
- I have never grilled a steak.
- I have never held a baby for longer than 10 seconds.

speaking of being 32...
My mood is more carefree than contemplative today, so I have nothing heavy to present. Satan often tries to frustrate me with all of the things I should have done by now, but rather than dwell on the things that relate to my non-married, non-paternal state, I figured I'd share some less pertinent things that would place me in a demographic minority:

That's quite a bucket list. At the very top of mine is:
1.Swim with Elephants.
That's a real thing that happens...
:-)
Not sure if I'd call this a bucket list, for I never intend to play Angry Birds, and I don't foresee a situation in which I may "smoke something." But who knows? When in Rome -- with a photographic lighter...
If I were really to write a bucket list, I would start with my European train wandering. And call me a skeptic, but I have to see a snorkeling elephant before I believe it :)
I think you'll change your mind about Angry Birds...

Copy and paste that link for proof of snorkeling elephants. :-)
You need to eat fresh mango. Stat.
Courtney: That may be one of the coolest things I've ever seen, particularly since you can actually see the elephant use his trunk as a snorkeling device. But I know that you're all imagery savvy -- what with the "youtube" and "iPhone" you kids toss about -- who knows what lengths you might go to persuade me of elephant snorkeling? I'll just have to get in the water myself :)
Miranda: I have every intention of it...how does one shop for the perfect mango? Sounds like tonight's 10pm breakfast!
When you push on the skin of the mango, there should be a slight give. If it's too firm, it's not ripe and you have to wait. If it's too soft, the inside will be too mushy.
Oh man... so many things I want to comment on.
Fresh Mango is absolutely a must. Stat. Listen to the intendedparadox.
BEAUTY and the BEAST is the BEST Disney movie ever. Watch it. Preferrably with girls because we have a different sort of connection to the movie than boys have, and you need to witness that connection.
I haven't broken a bone either :(
1st person shooters aren't meant to be played alone... they're much too scary.
