Your Bucket List?

Big 4 Country · 07-23-2008, 08:40 PM

So I just watched The Bucket List and currently have an uncle who is dying from brain cancer. He isn't too worried about it though. As long as he has a Pepsi and a tv he is happy. This made me start thinking about my bucket list. I'm also interested in what other people have on their bucket list.

The Bucket List
Graduate from NC State (spring of 2009)
Get a real job
Visit Washington DC
Travel outside of North America (The British Isles Maybe?)
Attend a FIFA World Cup
Hot Air Balloon ride (October 16, 2008)
Hang Gliding
Golf at any Pinehurst Resort Course (two hours south of me)

I did not just watch "The Bucket List", so I have no idea what you are talking about.

The bucket list is a list you make when you find out that you don't have much time left to live. You make a list of things you want to do before you die.

You are correct. I am not about to die, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't start sooner than later. The way I see it, you don't know when your time will come to an end and you can always continue to add more adventures to your bucket list. My mom always wanted to go sky diving, but never got the chance to. Me and my sister went one time and enjoyed it. When she asked about doing it in the future they told her she couldn't because of her bad back.

After seeing the movie the other night I am also thinking I should add the Richard Petty Driving Experience at Darlington.

bigheadache · 07-28-2008, 10:09 PM

To name a few,

a rafting trip through the Grand Canyon
catch a game at all the MLB ballparks (I've only been to 7)
a trip to the olympics (summer not winter)
visit all 50 states (I'm at 42)

I've been to every state but Alaska. That'd certainly be on my list.

It ought to be. It is the most humbling experience I've ever had. It is beauty on HGH.

Spend a month traveling India and Southeast Asia

Complete 'The Bandit Run' (Atlanta to Texarkana and back)

Attend home games for every team in the NL Central, NFC North, NHL Northeast Division (well, if need be I'll scratch off the Cincinnati Reds and Ottawa Senators, replace with Cowboys and Redskins)

Marry a brown-eyed babe with an accounting degree

Buy a house not necessarily in the country, but far enough away from suburbia you can't hear the effing freeway when outside.

Get around to writing that novel

"Get a real job"

Good idea, because those "Artificial" ones suck...

One of the local priest from the town my parents are from has donw this, or came close. He seemed to enjoy it. I also had some cousins just take an Alaskan Cruise and they loved it.

I stopped by the Daytona speedway last week to just look around and they had the Richard Petty driving school going on. It was fun to just watch. I'm going to do that at some point.

Other things I'd like to do:

Visit the pyramids
Go to Austrailia
Fly over the active volcano in Hawaii in a helicopter
I'd also like to do the rafting through the Grand Canyon
Drive the PCH in a Corvette convertible

Geez. I need to get to work.

ctjayfan · 07-31-2008, 06:28 AM

"Drive the PCH in a Corvette convertible"

And you'll enjoy it...I know I did.

There are a few people that I care about, who are going through difficult times. I guess the thing I would want most to do is to see them more at peace with themselves. Most of their problems are the kinds of things that money can fix, and I don't have enough of that to make an impact.

A lot of things I'd like to do are now problematic, owing to vision handicap, but thankfully, I have already done most of the kinds of things that are on other posted lists. Aside from that limiter, I'm pretty much free and able to do whatever I please, and if anything came to mind, I suppose I would go and do it.

It's rather like the question What do you want for Christmas? My answer is that if I needed or wanted it, I'd already have it. I hope I die in my sleep. Too soon rather than too late.
