Dead By 35

Who hasn’t thought about what they’ve wanted to do before kicking the bucket? If you haven’t, you’re going about life all wrong.

Welcome to deadby35.com – my list of things I want to do before I die and the stories behind them.

What is Dead at 35?
Dead at 35 is a promise to myself. A goal to complete my bucket list by the time I’m 35 years old.

But why DEAD at 35? would you then kill yourself?
It’s more of a way of thinking. My personal “bust-my-ass-I-can-sleep-when-I-die” mindset. Although the thought did occur to me that there is a chance that after accomplishing everything, I might feel like there is no further reason to live.

Why 35?
For 2 reasons. One, it gives me about 7 years to knock everything out..which seems like a good enough amount of time. Too much time and I’ll risk losing the drive to complete the list. I don’t want to say, “oh I’ll do it next year”. Secondly, its to increase my chances. I could get hit by a car next week. Think about that. Every day we don’t do something, we risk not being able to do it tomorrow. I don’t want to be 70 years old and still be trying to cross things off.

The awesome part is that I’ve already done a bunch of the things on my already short list. Stay tuned as things will get added and completed over time.
