I think a lot about goals. I have a lot of them and tend to function best when focused on them. I have many, many goals. I've accomplished many of them, big and small. College, marriage, someday children, etc.
But these goals are not my topic. I want to talk about frivolous life goals. I think we should all have them...and I want to hear about them.
A few of my frivolous life goals:
-Score a hat trick in a game
-Never tie my shoes again after the age of 40 (exceptions for athletic shoes/skates/cleats)
-Step foot in all 50 states (I have only 5 left: Alaska, North Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa)
-Earn the right to wear an Affliction T-shirt
-Get a tattoo across my entire back
-Read all 48 books on my History of Political Science and Economics list
-Create then read another list of books on Ancient Greek and Roman History
-Learn a foreign language fluently (other than Spanish)...maybe using Rosetta Stone
-Coach little league
-Own a Doberman Pinscher and Rhodesian Ridgeback at the same time
-Make a homemade rink in my backyard (probably have to live somewhere cold for this one)
-Score on a slapshot from the point
-Score in a shoot out
-Hit a home run
-Take drum lessons and get to an adequate level
-Play the violin...then play my very own Happy Sad song
-Perform live with the Money Beets
Anyone else care to share their frivolous goals?

I love you AND your funny life goals!
You forgot a few:
1) Run for political office. Water District 2012! Definitely the stepping stone for anyone serious about jumping into politics. For those of you that don't know, Ethan thinks his intelligence, charisma, and communicative abilities would make him a good politician. He knows, however, that he's too lazy to actually DO the job. Also, that no one will vote for him.
2) Be the GM of a hockey and/or baseball team. I think it's totally unfair that you have to be either a) a former player or b) an Ivy League grad to actually get this position. Unfortunately, E, your only shot is that you get discovered by a talent agent scouring the web for the best young fantasy league GM talent out there.
Shoot for the stars baby.
And briefly... my goals:
1) Own a ton of dogs, all of whom stay outside for Olive's playing and running pleasure. They sleep in the barn and only Olive comes inside at night.
2) Arrange flowers for a living.
3) Audtion for American Idol, just to see if I'm as bad as Ethan says.
4)Never die in a plane crash.
5) Get a PhD solely so that people have to address our mail to Dr. and Mr. Glazener.
6) Beat Ethan on an IQ test.
-Get a tattoo
-Build a log cabin of my own from the ground up and write a manifesto.
-Perform live with the Money Beets.
-Get my own sailboat and sail around the world. The boat will have to be big enough for my ever growing family and dog.
-Get a pug to match my mastiff
-Compete in a chess tournament
New frivolous life goal:
I want to get good enough in hockey to get kicked out of the Anaheim Ice league for being too good.
How do you earn the right to wear an Affliction shirt?
And you don't need drum lessons. You just need play more often. Let's start actually playing together.
Well since I surprisingly haven't been kicked out of the Money Beets yet here are my Frivolous goals:
1)Make 100's of millions of dollars. Buy a hockey team(preferrably in canada). Hire Ethan and Taylor to help run the team. Then fire their asses for incompetance! Mwhahahahaaha
2)5 points in a hockey game.
3)Marriage
4)Have the body of Fight Club Brad Pitt
5)Have someone refer to me as "intelligent"
6)Not only play for The Money Beets but have a woman in the audience thrown an article of clothing up on stage. Doesn't even need to be at me nor anything scandalous. Could be a shoe(but not in a I'm trying to kill you kind of way)
7)Have my own sports talk radio show
8)If goal 3 somehow gets met take a 40 day honeymoon.
9)Have friends refer to my first child as "craps" without my son having a complex because of it.

Taylor,
The affliction shirt thing has to do with a side conversation Brian and I had regarding them. You see Affliction is a MMA (mixed martial arts) brand...so the majority of guys who wear their shirts and all the guys who promote it are ripped. You will notice many of todays top white atheletes (regardless of sport) wearing these shirts.
We were joking that it's as if someone waits to see how ripped you are then hands you an Affliction T-Shirt when you earn it.
It was my roundabout way of saying that I would like to be ripped.
And Brian, marriage doesn't count as a frivolous life goal...it's a regular life goal. 40 day honeymooon on the other hand is an awesome choice.
Are your neighbors cool with the sound of drums? I'm willing to lend my garage to the cause of the Money Beets practice sessions, AKA teaching Brian to do anything at all musical. He stonewalled my requests for him to bring his guitar up to my place. I question his commitment yet strangely respect his decision to stick with "unknown" as his contribution.
1. Beat Taylor at chess
2. Learn latin
3. Attend an Indian wedding
4. Have a craft room
5. Own a Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The original 1989-1991 model in white.
