The List

So over the weekend, while hanging out with my wonderful family in Cape Cod, I realized that I had a list of things that I need to research, not for school, not for a job, but simply for the soul purpose of increasing my knowledge of the world. 

So, for the first time, I'm going to begin my list. It's like a bucket list, of everything I want to read about and everything I want to learn how to do. I want to be able to talk about the oddest things, and know something about it. I will be the ultimate conversation starter, or the ultimate conversation piece. 

This would also be a great list to go off of for future gifts.

So, voila! The List.

1. I want to learn more about rock operas. I want to know how they started, why they exist, and I want to watch them.
2. Rock climbing. I already know how to do this, I just want to do more of it.
3. I want to read more of the Bible in a historical context. how much came true? And how does it relate to today?
4. I want to become a wine connoisseur. I want to know types of wines, the best years, and what foods go well with what wines.
5. Cooking. I want to master Italian flavors, then following with japanese. I want to be able to know how to sue certain spices and certain oils. I also want to be able to cook some of the dishes I always crave but could never make.
6. I want to learn an instrument. I have a guitar, so I could do that. Or go back to piano. I'm sure after some practice I could pock that up again.
7. Photography. I want to get more into this, as well as filming. I know the basics, but I want to cover more and experiment more.
8. I want to learn more about American history and travel around the country. Since I live here, I should be able to talk about all the aspects of my home.
9. I want to learn everything I can about archaeology. This is a perspective career for me, so why not, right?
10. I want to learn more about Tibet and the conflicts there. I bought prayer flags on a whim last year, but I want to learn more about them.

Ok, that's it for now. Let's see how long it takes me to do this. I feel it might be a life goal.

Peace!
