Watch a volcano erupt (read all 2 entries…)
Hawaii 17 months ago

Saw the active volcano erupting on the Big Island. Not a lot of activity but saw lots of ash thrown up into the air and went down to see where the lava was flowing into the Pacific. Quite awesome!



Be able to donate $1 million to a worthwhile charity.
Untitled 2 years ago

Of course one needs to earn at least a million dollars to give it away. I am working on it.



Do at least one random act of kindness daily.
Untitled 2 years ago

You know what? This is actually a rather selfish endeavor. I like doing this because not only do the people receiving this act feel better but it makes me feel pretty damn good. It’s really is a rather cleansing to do selfless acts. The trick is to just keep remembering to forget yourself!
