Actually Update This Website

I sincerely apologize.  This website could be great.  Actually, it's already kinda great.  But it could be greater.

Between work, other websites, and a certain person who is SUPPOSED to be coming up with things weekly... this site is failing.  But that's okay.  We're well on our way to 10,000 things.  Only 9,955 to go after this post!

Bonus: YOU CAN HELP!  Please email any things YOU want to do before you die to 10kthingstodo@gmail.com

Thank you and we promise we'll try harder...

Number 43

Bake a Cake

Everyone loves cake! Now you don't have to wait until someone's birthday to eat this delectable dessert - make your own! The flavor options are endless; all you need to do is pick one. Make sure you use proper caution around the oven, because it will get hot. That's the point, after all. Most importantly, enjoy!

Bonus: Make it from scratch!

Number 39

Make Your Own Personal Bucket List

Feel free to use stuff from our site, even ;) ... or, come up with your own top 50 or 100 things YOU want to personally do before you die. Honestly, who can realistically do all 10,000 things on our site? ... Or should we say, 39, things. Don't worry. We'll reach 10,000 eventually.

We just need your help! Remember to submit your own!

Number 36

Build A Website

And it doesn't need to be anything special. Just check out some random HTML tutorials and use Blogger.com to start posting away. 10KThingsToDoBeforeYouDie.com is hosted on blogger and we've used to Photoshop to make the pretty banner and the buttons on the sidebar. It's really fun, actually.

Bonus Points: Make money with it.

Number 35

Learn To Play Guitar

Rock Band (I and II), Guitar Hero, and AIR GUITAR... do not count.

Haven't you ever noticed that guys with guitars always have the ladies around? There's something about a guy playing guitar that really gets the ladies going. And by the way, NOTHING else matters if you're playing the guitar. You can be ugly, dirty, unemployed, whatever. It doesn't matter.

Bonus Points: Use your case to collect some extra cash.

#28

Build or Refurbish Your Own Furniture

This is surprisingly fun, especially for you artsy-fartsy people out there. I’m not saying you should go dumpster diving for old crap to fix up. That’s gross. Thrift stores, garage sales, or the reject clearance furniture that is hideous beyond belief can pretty much all be transformed with a little TLC and elbow grease…or nails and paint.

You know that feeling you get when you power through those directions that are clearly written in a badly-translated version of English and put together a bazillion-piece desk or bed? The feeling of refurbishing furniture is like that, minus all the annoying grammar issues.

Number 23

Make A Baby

While you may have already done (or plan to do) this, it's still on our list. And it could be argued that Number 23 tops many people's lists.

And why not? With cloning still unstable, creating a baby is still the safest way to replicate your genes.

Bonus Points: Make Twins.

Number 22

Build Something Useful Out of LEGOs

And we don't care what you build. As long as it's useful. Maybe a new stepping stool... or microwave. Please understand that the ENTIRE item must be made out of the hard plastic we've come to love: LEGOs.

Note: The above picture does not count. It's just kinda cool.

Number 11

Get A Book Published

Or, if you're lazy like we are, you could always just blog. But publishing a book is so much cooler. So pull out that typewriter, dust it off, and start writing away, it's just like blogging but... without posting it online.... and... it's in paper form.

I believe in you.

Number 9

Live Where You WANT to Live...

Stop worrying about how much money you make, when that next promotion is coming, and move out of the big city. If you're happier where it's less busy, yet you make a little less... go for it! Life is short, don't waste your time killing yourself for a little extra cash.

Number EIGHT

Get a Tattoo

Preferably of your mom inside a heart, just like the one above. But I'm sure you could come up with your own creative ink ideas.

Bonus Points: Be sure and take things one step further by getting your neck or face done. We hear it helps with future job opportunities.
