| | Last night I remembered I was suppose to blog some while I was visiting my brother in Tennessee. So, it's about 10 days too late. But I'm pretty sure this is better.
I just finished watching The Bucket List. Yeah, a bad idea, right? I mean I cried a lot more at the end than I expected. Cause, you know, the movie is sad. Naturally, I had to think about my own bucket list. Thing is, I've already written one. But the problem with that one is I wrote it in high school. I remember specifically writing some lines and discussing it in first period French. I was probably about 16. One half of it is filled with romantic bullshit (stop and smell the roses), another third I have no real desire to do anymore (earn a living by minding children), and the final mathematically impossible quarter I have actually done. So my three handwritten pages of "Things I Want to do Before I Die" list is pretty useless.
So now I am thinking, "What do I want to do before I die?"
I decided that if I died suddenly tomorrow, I would be happy with the life I lead. I regret that I didn't stand up for that lady in the bank. I regret that I didn't make it to New York City before 9/11. And I would regret that I didn't get married and have a baby. But that last one is a tack on, and I think I would be pretty fine with having missed it.
But if I was going to be given a death sentence, like in The Bucket List, a certain number of months to slowly waste from cancer, or better yet fantastically know the exact date and time of my future death, what would i want to do?
The only I got is to do that celebration thing through the sun roof in a limo, then spend the rest of the night partying in Las Vegas, or Atlantic City, or any place with bright lights and slot machines.
I guess in the meantime, here's my list of things left to do (or I'm willing to do) on my "Things to do before I Die" list.
Bungee Jump
Wear no pants to a store that says "No Shoes, No Shirts, No Service"
Travel by First Class
Make up a New Language
Win the lottery (even $1)
learn to ride a horse
break a world record
follow a rainbow
go to a strip club
go on a Caribbean cruise
Visit every continent
walk on the roof of a building
Anything to add?
BTW in TN I ate the best burger and drank 7 different beers in one night, so I'd say it was pretty awesome.
