This was kinda cool. Brought back some memories, and showed me that my life hasn't been as boring as I remember it. ;-)

02. Swam with wild dolphins (Surfed, actually. Many times. Being echolocated is one of the weirdest feelings...)
03. Climbed a mountain (a couple.)
04. Taken a Ferrari for a test drive (does a Black Porsche 930 Turbo Cabriolet count? That thing's kompressor was less a turbo than it is an afterburner. White-knuckle fast. Hello oversteer.)

06. Held a tarantula. (Not bad for a borderline arachnaphobe.)
07. Taken a candlelit bath with someone
08. Said “I love you” and meant it (I'm still living this one. Damn, I love my girlfriend.)
09. Hugged a tree (But I'm in no way a "tree hugger.")
10. Done a striptease (Hell yeah)
11. Bungee jumped (Never again. Too many things to go wrong that are out of my control.)
13. Watched a lightning storm at sea (Puked my guts out, too.)
14. Stayed up all night long, and watched the sun rise (but rarely voluntarily. Pre-dawn workouts notwithstanding.)
15. Seen the Northern Lights
16. Gone to a huge sports game (probably the biggest was the 2002 Rose Bowl - Miami destroyed Nebraska in the BCS Championship game.)
18. Grown and eaten my own vegetables
19. Touched an iceberg (Damn things are huge.)
20. Slept under the stars
21. Changed a baby’s diaper (Friggin' stinks.)
22. Taken a trip in a hot air balloon (For free, nonetheless.)
23. Watched a meteor shower
24. Gotten drunk on champagne (Once. Never again.)

25. Given more than you can afford to charity (TSR!)
26. Looked up at the night sky through a telescope
27. Had an uncontrollable giggling fit at the worst possible moment (Freshman in college math class. That professor hated us.)
28. Had a food fight
29. Bet on a winning horse (I had a tip straight from a big time jockey. [Pun not intended.])
30. Taken a sick day when you’re not ill
31. Asked out a stranger (It works. Try it.)
32. Had a snowball fight
34. Screamed as loudly as you possibly can
35. Held a lamb (Baaa!)
36. Enacted a favorite fantasy
37. Taken a midnight skinny dip (See #31. I'm not kidding.)

41. Rode on a roller coaster (One of my favortite things to do.)
42. Hit a home run (Multiple. Scored touchdowns and goals, too.)
45. Adopted an accent for an entire day (I do a pretty good Aussie. US chicks dig the Aussie accent, mate.)
46. Visited the birthplace of your ancestors
47. Actually felt happy about your life, even for just a moment (Still do.)
48. Had two hard drives for your computer

50. Loved your job for all accounts (It's actually not that bad.)
51. Taken care of someone who was shit faced (Multiple times, unfortunately.)

53. Had amazing friends (Still do.)
54. Danced with a stranger in a foreign country (Does Tijuana count?)
55. Watched wild whales (Plenty of Gray Whales. Got up close to a Blue in the Sea of Cortez, too.)
56. Stolen a sign (In a baseball sense, or in the sense of the Hwy 108 sign that hangs over my washer and dryer?)

58. Taken a road-trip (San Diego to Seattle in 18 hours including lunch at The Bear in Chico, California (which was a serious detour) is still a PR. [Can you say "team driving"?])
59. Rock climbing (Not really my cup of tea, but necessary at one point in time.)
60. Lied to foreign government’s official in that country to avoid notice ("Paid him to avoid notice" is more accurate. "iNo estoy borracho!")
61. Midnight walk on the beach (See #37.)
62. Sky diving (HALO is the sh*t.)
65. In a restaurant, sat at a stranger’s table and had a meal with them (Happens all the time in Europe.)

67. Benchpressed your own weight (And then some. Me knuckle dragging mouth breather.)

93. Loved someone you shouldn’t have (How could I have been so dumb? I even knew it wasn't right, but kept going... Ugh.)

116. Bought a house
117. Been in a combat zone (There is nothing quite so exhilirating as being shot at without effect, or something like that.)

119. Shaved or waxed your pubic hair off (Um... Ahem... Hey, look! Another question!)

127. Recently bought and played with a favorite childhood toy (Not a toy, but built a model P-51D Mustang, just like I did when I was a kid.)
