- Make new friends.. that care back.
My name is Mo, and finding this website amazed me because it's exactly what i've been trying to do despite the negative reactions from many. I truly believe life is about learning new things, taking chances, and not being frightened to do what you really want to achieve or take part it. It's ultimately about loving to wake up and taking everything in. Pessimism has no need.. life's too short and we never know how much time we really have to make an impact before reaching our end on Earth. With a life list, i've decided to stop taking things for granted, fear only fear itself, and find a reason to laugh and enjoy living everyday. I want nothing more than to live everyday like it's my last.

- Oh wow! You're adorable! And thank you for sharing your story with me! : ) I think that's amazing and life should still be lived with optimism and hope each day! I'll share a little bit of my story with you now: I grew up in a domestic violent home...and while each person's story is different, sometimes you don't realize it's happening to you until someone tells you...and this is coming from someone who was interested in psychology years ago! My parents are divorced now, for the better, and there are plenty of trials and tribulations w/in my little broken family (sister and mom); debt problems, sister trying to go to college and my mom never having a degree herself and yet working hard to pay for an apartment and supporting her and my sister, and myself trying to start my career since I'll be graduating college this coming May : ) Even though I've been through a lot, these past 3/4 years of independence have helped me recover hope and the dreams I have always had and the courage to gain more.
I think that's why I literally started tearing up when I saw The Buried Life boys preview on MTV...they gave hope to our generation, to everyone on this earth that is going through hard times, and I wish the best to them, you, and everyone to have the passion to go reach their greatest desires.
My friend gave me a great mantra that I never heard of before and actually happens to be by one of my favorite people in history:
"I am not afraid; I was born for this!" ~Joan of Arc
Have a WONDERFUL holiday...and I wish you plenty of good wishes, luck, and blessings on your life's journey : )

- Hey there! Thanks for all the great comments you left me. We had a blast in NYC that night. It was the perfect night. Not too cold either. The big LED lights are on the street right across from Radio City Music Hall! They use to look like "old" light bulbs - but they've updated! Too funny!

Randi Barge said… - My freshman year of college i went around asking people in my dorm if they knew how to say I love you in a different language. This is my list, and I have added a website to learn more.
#322
I Love You
Te Amo (Tay ahm-oh)--Spanish
Je t'aime (Zhuh tem)--French
Ich liebe Dich (Ish leeba dish or Ick leeba dick)--German
o ai shiteru (ah eh shay tay roo)--Japanese
Wo Ai Ni (Wuh eye nee)--Mandarin
Naku penda (Na koo pen da )Swahili
Jag älskar dig (Ya ellscar dey)--Swedish
Saranghayo (saw ran hey yo) -Korean
One language was really close to korean but it was with out the yo. However, I can't remember at the moment which language it was.
There is also (saya ska anda)....not sure which language that is either.
Then finally the i love you sign in American Sign Language. Put up your thumb, pointer finger, and your pinky stright up, while your other two fingers are bent to the palm of your hands.
Best of luck on the rest!

P.S. So funny about the naked bikers! I would have busted out laughing!

- Thanks for the comment. I love your blurb about living life to the fullest under your first 6 goals. I will probably visit your page every time I sign on just to read it. I need more inspiration and positive talk in my life. You have so many goals, but I love that some of them are simple and mostly things we take for granted. good Luck completing your goals. You have so much to live for!
