One thing you always wanted to do...

As cliched as this sounds....write a book.

I'd love to write a collection of funny stories about my childhood. I'm turning 40 in less then 2 years so now's the time...before I forget them all.

who's next?

Start my own school. One that focused on learning and fun, not test taking and paperwork.

I finally did it this year.

Really?? Where?? I'd LOVE to send my son to a school where learning is about just that...not evaluating that learning...sounds kind of hippyish but there you go.

It's mostly for adults at this point, but we have high hopes. Now if there was only a link around here someplace ...

In January 2010, I came to the realization that working for an employer in the I.T. field was getting in the way of my true passion – trading the stock market. My transition from bithead-to-Day-Trader hasn't gone exactly as I'd hoped, but I'm still actively trading the market and learning every day.

Write a book. I tried when I was about 13, had a hundred or so pages of poetry that I solicited a publisher for. I had no idea what I was doing, my parents thought that my project was annoying if anything.

I got a woman at my school who used to be an editor to look at it, and it came back so covered with notes and post-its I just threw it away. The publisher sent me a couple of letters, but I threw them away too. I'm pretty sure it was a scam anyway.

Hike the Appalachian Trail from start to finish.

Here is a cool look at everything it takes to do this.

Been there, done that. Twice the work for the same end result.

I want to write a philosophy book.
