13-Thirteen: Wear a Banana Suit

This blog is NOT dead. Banana suits are awesome, and the ladies love bananas!

Thanks to twosandthrees. of Flickr for the banana shot

12-Twelve: Skydive

Thanks to "thepartycow" of Flickr for the shot. He agreed to jump when he was drunk, but he followed through anyway. Awesome!

Skydive. I'm not really sure why that wasn't number 1. This may be the ultimate rush possible. Give me a shout if you can think of something better. Oh, and I have considered base jumping, but that pushes the envelope a bit too much for me.

The man is a god of modern music, both in style and lyrics. I almost saw Puscifer in NYC, but bad weather ended those plans.

10-Ten: Learn Technical Rope Rescue

Ain't that a trip! It's like being a bad-ass at saving lives! I did a little bit of search and rescue while in high school and loved every second I spent on a rope. Hopefully I'll get skilled enough at other wilderness stuff to be able to do this as part of a mountain rescue team.

9-Nine: Teach my Sister to Shoot

My sister (different sister than the rock-climbing one) wants to learn to shoot a handgun for self-defense so she has that skill when she moves out. She's never shot a gun before and I'd love to teach her.

8-Eight: (Completed November 2010) Rock Climb with my Sister

First of all, this is not my sister, but it gets the idea across. My sister's favorite thing to do is rock-climb, and I'd love to climb with her. I'm learning how to climb and belay just so next time I visit we can climb together.

So I finally got to rock climb with my sister. We both kinda sucked (her because she was just done recovering from a broken hand, me cause... yeah) but it was fun anyway. Oh! Going up a route with only one hand is way hard by the way.

7-Seven: Single-hand my Own Sailboat

The wind, the waves and you. There is something pure and exhilarating about sailing. If any motorboater tells you that sailing is boring, they've never hiked-out in a stiff breeze.
