The 75 Things Every Man Should Do

As you get older it’s not uncommon to think more about the things you have not done in your life which at times I’m almost pre-occupied with. So when I came across the August issue of Esquire Magazine and saw an article titled
“The 75 Things Every Man Should Do” I had more than a passing interest.
The author suggests these are things that should be done over the course of a lifetime and because of time restraints and subject matter I can’t tell you all of them but here are some:

Play Rugby.
Repair an appliance.
Fly the red-eye from Vegas.
Fast for three days drinking only water.
Drive by yourself from coast to coast.
Recognize the accomplishments of others.
Leave yourself a letter in a library book and look for it 20 years later.
Watch a bad movie so often that when you see it by accident you can recite lines before they are spoken.
Scuba dive.
Live in a hotel suite for a week.
Milk a cow and then drink it.
Throw a real party.
Shoplift…then return what you stole.
Choose a word of phrase and actively work to never use it again.
Cook the same thing over and over until you are known for it.
Take care of someone else’s 3-year old for a day.
Listen to war stories…tell war stories.
Sing in public.
Play golf at Carnoustie.
Attend the funeral of someone you didn’t know that well.
Spend some time working at a job for tips.
Make a perfect omelet.
Overeat for a week….in Italy.
Give a panhandler all of your money.
Ride a horse.
Walk 20 miles…bring water.
Watch television for 24 straight hours.
Climb something you are afraid of.
Get a manicure.
Bet a $100 on a long shot to win.
Make a list of 75 things you want to do before you die.
