First and foremost, I must apologize. I have been a terrible blogger of late. I could give a million different excuses for my lackluster performance, but honestly, blogging has just not been at the top of my priority list. That being said, I do have some fun news: I had my 27th birthday two Mondays past! It was a very exciting birthday for me as I got to drink mimosas while watching a very historic Boston Marathon. I am really looking forward to this next year and all the craziness it will bring. After all, I will be getting married to a beautiful woman, receiving a Doctor of Philosophy in Computational Science, Engineering, and Mathematics from the University of Texas, and running a (hopefully) fast time during the 2011 Austin Marathon. Insanity galore.
Reflecting upon my 27th birthday, I have recognized that I don't have much longer in this wonderful city of Austin, Texas. Hence, I have decided to put together an "Austin and Greater Texas Bucket List" of things I need to do and/or re-do before I skip town. So far, I have thrown down the following items on the list:
(1) Attend Austin City Limits, Fun Fun Fun Fest, and South by Southwest.
(2) Make a venture out to Big Bend National Park.
(3) Run the Austin Marathon, the Capitol 10K, and the Congress Avenue Mile.
(4) Attend Fantastic Fest.
(5) Attend the UT-Oklahoma football game in Dallas.
(6) Go to the Texas State Fair.
(7) Attend the Zilker Park Kite Festival.
(8) Go on a grand tour in search of the best barbecue in all the land.
(9) Go on a grand tour in search of the best Tex-Mex in all the land.
(10) Go on a grand tour in search of the best chili in all the land.
(11) Go to an honest to God rodeo and try to enjoy myself.
(12) Go to Oktoberfest in Fredericksburg, Texas.
(13) Attend a concert at Austin City Limits Live.
(14) Go check out some Austin-style roller derby.
(15) Attend Eeyore's birthday (which coincidentally is today!).
(16) Ride the pubcrawler.
(17) Check out the various Texas wineries.
(18) Go to Hippie Hollow (Sarah may have dared me).
(19) Have an assortment of alcoholic beverages and hit a few golf balls at Peter Pan Mini-Golf.
(20) Check out the comedy club Esther's Follies.
(21) Spend a Thursday afternoon at Austin's Museum of Ephemerata.
(22) Get lost in Austin's Cathedral of Junk.
Naturally, I am looking for more items to put on the list, so please let me know if you have any suggestions. You would have my utmost thanks.
