I dream. A lot. Some of them are silly. Some of them may seem unattainable. Some are lame. But they are all mine. And as I’m sitting here today drinking coffee #3 at 11:30 in the morning I’m thinking about them.

So, in no particular order, here are some of the things that I dream of.

• Go to Nashville and sing. Even just once, on one stage at a terrible open mic night
• Write a book that makes me happy when it’s done and that people may even want to read.
• Get way better at this code thing I’m trying to learn.
• Own my parents’ house. You know, the one with the pond that makes a killer back yard rink in the winter.
• Be the awesome dad and partner that I’ve always wanted to be.
• Go back to Paris. See the sights for real. Wander the city. Take it all in. Write a bad poem on a bridge. Eat cheese and baguettes. Some cigarettes and drink coffee on a patio.
• Catch a homerun ball
• Find success and happiness in the wealth of family and friends that I’ve amassed in my life.
• Write for a website that y’all are gonna wanna check out.
• Coach baseball.
• Jump without looking.
• Be remembered as being awesome

Are there more? Probably. Will I think of news ones as days and weeks and months and years pass? Most definitely.

I want to be clear that this isn’t a bucket list. These are things that I dream about. Things that I would love to happen but am not necessarily going to change my life’s path to make happen on a whim.

I’m onto coffee #4 – so this is probably a good time to wrap things up.

Quick shout-out to my fav bullet point blogger @theactivestick you should check her out she’s awesome!

Happy Friday kids!
