'Cause This Is Thriller, Thriller Night There Ain't No Second Chance Against The Thing With 40 Eyes

Recently, (but not too recently) I began looking at my list of life goals. These goals have just been compiled throughout the years through either contimplation, conversation or just plain random thought. Anything from learning as many x-treme sports as I can to riding a camel are on this list and frankly, it's getting rather lengthly. A few weeks ago I sat back and decided that this summer has presented it to be lazy and just plain unproductive. "It's time," I thought "to get along with it and start crossing off as many life goals as I can at a time. After all tomarrow isn't a promise!" Granted, due to a small but not permanant handicap there are quite a few life goals (mainly the larger ones) that I can't do this summer. This left me with a few of the smaller goals.

The first one that caught my attention, and hyped me up was a boldly written, but relativly old goal, that I've wanted to accomplish for a few years but never got around to doing. "Learn the Thriller Dance"! And so it was...

For about 2 weeks I've been learning and perfecting Michael Jackson's Thriller Dance. My excitment in figuring it all out and doing online lessons was incredible. Unfortinutly, if you have every seen the Thriller dance you will know that this is a dance that is only truly amazing when a group of people do it together. After a good desscusion with a few friends, we decided that I'd teach them the dance and together we'd impress a crowd.

Also, as a side note, this wasn't a life goal, but I learned to golf. Recently a good friend of mine brought me to some golf course in the middle of nowhere and we played a 9 hole game. Despite a bit of rain and many misquitoes I had alot of fun. I'm not going to lie. I'm not tiger woods, but I'm a mad putter.
