Personal Goals

This is a mix of a bucket list, "impossible list", and just general goals that I wish to complete, whether in several weeks or several years. Maybe I will reduce it down to one of the three.

Do not let this list leave the impression that I am in any way an exceptional person to be making such a list, or self-important.

I am self-aware that I am a naïve idiot.
