PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE DESCRIPTION, AS IT IS AWESOME.
My friends, you probably already know this, but in six months I am going to turn 30 years old. This means that it is incumbent on me to have an epic amount of birthday this year. But do not panic: I have a plan!
This year, my dearest wish is that no one get me any gifts. Now wait, before you all start lamenting that you will not have a chance to show your undying affection for me: you will have your chance! This year what I am asking for from each and every one of you is the thing I love most in the world - adventure.
So here is the proposal: I have taken the week of my birthday off of work, and I will be available to all of you as an adventure companion! Please post on this event's wall something along the lines of "Matt, I've always wanted to [something], and I'd like to do it with you." If you see something someone has already posted on this wall, comment on their post with "Me too!" To prime your pumps, so to speak, here are the three things that I am definitely doing: getting a tattoo, jumping out of an airplane and shaving my head.
As the week of my birthday approaches, I will post a calendar so people can figure out their schedules. A few guidelines: try to keep it to an affordable adventure, I'm not made of money. Nothing that will take more than eight hours (including travel time). And nothing that will seriously impair my health. Anything else, I'm in (but please only write things you actually want to do). You have six months to think about it, so try to come up with something really fun for us to do. Thanks!
