To Be Completed By January 8, 2013
(to find out your date, click here)
I am mildly obsessed with MTV’s The Buried Life, and what the guys on that show stand for. They help other people cross things off their bucket list as they accomplish their own goals. I have a bucket list, but I have never thought of setting a date to have everything accomplished by.
