Bucket list. . .

A good friend of mine and I went to see the movie 'The Bucket List' this week. . . and we both enjoyed it. It made me stop and think about my own 'bucket list' (or in other words: things I wanna do before I 'kick the bucket')

Without becoming too maudlin or esoteric or smarmy (those are really cool words, by the way!) I have a few things I would like to do before I vanish into the night.

Here's my personal 'BUCKET LIST'. . .

(Please be aware that this was thought up in the few quick minutes on the way back home from the movie theater--so it's still a work in progress)

Oh, and one more thing---let's assume that it's already a GIVEN that I will be spending some time with family/friends and contemplating the deep meaning of life, etc. . . OK?

OK--ready to proceed--and these are in no particular order:

1) Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro

2) Write a book

3) See the Great Pyramids, Great wall of China, Tour the Greek Isles, Visit Australia, New Zealand, Alaska, France, England, the ruins of Machu Picchu,and tour the Holy Land-(and any other exotic place that strikes my fancy between now and then that I read about or think of that I haven't already been to!)

4) Go on an archaeological dig of some sort in a far away land.

5) Go on an South African safari.

6) Act in some sort of community theater production--or better yet--TV or film!

7) Take some sort of dance or movement class and get pretty darn good at it.

8) Have some sort of 'get away' place, perhaps on an isle in the Bahamas, or Mexico--or even some cabin in the mountains or along the Oregon coast.

9) Drive a targa carera porsche, Audi TT roadster, or a BMW Z4 OR have owned a mini cooper or at least one little sports-type car for at least FIVE MINUTES!

10) Go on one game show or talk show and participate and have a great time.

11) Take a bunch of different classes on all kinds of subjects and continue learning always. . .

12) Help a complete stranger change their life for the better (and not have them know who did it) and not just one person--as many as I can. . .

13) Have my wits about me right up to the end. . . oh and if possible, the ability to fly and teleport!

That's all I could think of before I pulled into the driveway and got out of the car and back into reality. . .

If any of you reading this blog have some definite ideas for your own 'bucket list'--please feel free to leave a comment and let's add them to this post and see what great stuff we can come up with. . .

At the very least--I hope this inspired you think of your OWN ideas that you would like to try or do before you 'kick the bucket'. . .
