Goal #1. Change the name of Stonewall Jackson.
To be fair, I didn’t really fail this one. I created a petition online to start this process but my parents talked me down from this. They thought it could get me in trouble…blah blah blah.
Goal #5. Be in a wrestling ring.
My whole life I’ve wanted to get into a wrestling ring. The closest wrestling training school is 2 hrs away from my house. Unfortunately, I can’t just get in the ring there. This chapter isn’t over. Stay tuned to 2014!
Didn’t do it…ugh.
Not yet…
Goal #29. Go to Wrestlemania.
I can’t write about this because this one hurts the most. A boyhood dream has not yet come true. 2014…
Goal #30. Visit the grave of every president featured on Mount Rushmore.
George Washington (Yup) Thomas Jefferson (Yup) Abe Lincoln (Nope) Teddy Roosevelt (Nope)
I’ve been everywhere but Vegas. It didn’t happen this year. Maybe next year.
Goal #33. Go to Big John Studd’s burial ground.
He was a wrestler and I thought he was buried in Virginia. I was wrong. He died in Virginia but was buried in Pennsylvania. That being said, I lost interest in this one.
Goal #2 Teach myself to play the piano.
I haven’t done this yet. I really REALLY want to do this but I need to dedicate myself to this. Someday…
Goal #8 Volunteer for a gay-rights organization.
This was out of my control. I reached out to 6 different gar-rights organizations but did not get a response. I listed this as a failure but I tried!
Goal #18 Be a subject for an artists – sculpture, painting, etc.
Once again I tried. I reached out but couldn’t find anyone to take me up on my offer. I wanted to get really weird on this one.
Hopefully it might happen next year. Not yet though…
I tried! I went on craigslist and reached out but I didn’t hear back from anyone….and I wasn’t going to be a part of a porn!
Goal #10 Go to Maury or Jerry Springer show taping
I tried hard on this. I e-mail the show in January for tickets. They didn’t get back to me until September for the tickets. At that point I couldn’t go. Oh well. I’m not too broken up by this.
