Just wanted to record that thing called a Bucket List ...
I have those things written on a piece of paper that's tattered and had something spilled on it.
This might be neater.
Not sure if it's 'my glass is half empty' syndrome I'm having lately .. but when it comes to my Bucket List, I have a feeling I'm just simply not going to get to all of it.
But it's good to have it ... just in case.
I want to go to Disney World (not land). Not sure why I feel as if this is important to me .. but it is. I never experienced it as a child and was always super jealous of all those who got to go. It's this fantasy land ... a child's world ... and I want to go play!
"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them" Walt Disney
I want to run a full marathon. Not that I think it's a good idea because I really believe your body takes a pretty good beating while doing that. But ... I've been running for a few years now and it's always something I've thought I could never ever achieve. But last year when I ran my half ... I wondered if I could push myself further. Just one. That's all I want.
"I've learned that finishing a marathon isn't just an athletic achievement. It's a state of mind; a state of mind that says anything is possible." John Hanc
I want to take a vacation to Dubai. Not sure why. But it's my dream vacation. I haven't ever know anyone that's been. I've never heard anyone say that's where they'd love to go. But the pictures sure look cool...
"Laughter is an instant vacation" Milton Berle
I want to write a book. No no .. I WILL write a book. Don't have a clue where to begin .. how to begin .. where it will go ... or how it will end. But indeed - it will be a book.
"And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt" Sylvia Plath
I want to learn how to swim. Like really swim. It's this fear ... that I have the need to conquer. The water seems to be my enemy. It scares me. It wears me out. When I enter the water .. I believe it truly wants to engulf me ..to take me under and never let me go.
It would be my least preferred way to die. I'd rather burn than drown. Odds are if I learn how to swim really well then it may not be the way I leave this earth ...
"If you want to learn to swim jump into the water. On dry land no frame of mind is ever going to help you" Bruce Lee
Speaking of the water.. I want to go on a cruise. Something else I've never done. It just seems so glamorous to me. Sitting by the pool ... sipping on a cool drink .. thinking about absolutely nothing. Eating for days straight .. I imagine all kinds of food ... no end in sight of all that yummy goodness.. Out in the middle of the ocean ... All my favorites all wrapped up in one nice little package - sun, sea, water and food. Heaven ...
"Old and young, we are all on our last cruise" Robert Louis Stevenson
Okay .. and some not-so-serious-ones. But still things I'd like to do before I kick that bucket.
Ride a mechanical bull - anyone wanna join me on this one?
Honk my horn when a stranger walks right in front of my parked car.. just to see their reaction.
Rub Chauncey Billups head
Eat an entire pie by myself
Be applauded by thousands (not sure what I'd have to do to get this .. but I've always thought this would be super cool)
Play in the rain. Naked.
Be on either Survivor or Amazing Race
Make up a word that everybody would use daily
Have my entire body laser hair removal'ed (did I just make up a word?)
Have sex every day for an entire year
Learn to speak Korean so that when I go to have a pedi I can understand every damn word those girls are saying. I just KNOW they are talkin' about me
Make friends with a complete stranger
Sleep on a beach under the stars all night
Get punched right in the face. Hard. (never been hit there before)
Oh yeah .. and I wanna be a billionaire.. so freaking bad.
That'll do it for now. But I'll keep adding. I'm sure I've got plenty of time...

So... if I would have known sooner I could have punched you in the face cuz that's actually on MY bucket list. Your super fantastic and I think you need to go on a cruise right about February-ish (did I make up my own word?) Plus have you seen that Seinfeld where Elaine has George's dad come to the salon to interpret the Korean?
Good list. Many from my own. Tried sex everyday for a year last year. Made it 9 days until David pissed me off enough to not want to talk to him let alone rouch me. Maybe we will try again in 2011.
Oh I know the perfect guy who could give you swim lessons..STEVE!!
I love your motivation to even write a bucket list...you go girl!!
What a fun list! But I thought most of those nail girls spoke Vietnamese. Maybe it just depends on the salon you go to. And I'm with Alyssa, I've always wanted to punch someone in the face. I also want to go skinny dipping some day. I'm actually surprised I haven't done that yet.
I want to go to Disney World
WE COULD GET YOU A "GETAWAY" USING OUR TIMESHARE WHERE YOU COULD GET A 5 STAR CONDO IN ORLANDO FOR A WEEK FOR UNDER $300.
I want to take a vacation to Dubai.
I, TOO, WOULD LOVE TO GO TO DUBAI. IT LOOKS FABULOUS. I AM STILL A LITTLE LEARY OF TRAVELING IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD AS AN AMERICAN, THOUGH.
I want to write a book.
I KEEP TELLING YOU TO TURN YOUR BLOG INTO A BOOK! YOU ARE SINCERE AND HILARIOUS AND I LOVE TO READ IT!
I want to learn how to swim.
LEARN TO SCUBA. WHEN YOU CAN BREATHE UNDER WATER IT IS SO MUCH MORE FUN THAN PADDLING AWAY FOR NOTHING...AND EASIER CAUSE YOU JUST KINDA GLIDE THROUGH THE WATER.
Speaking of the water.. I want to go on a cruise.
ME TOO! ALL THE FOOD I CAN EAT, FUN, SUN, AND SCUBA DIVING AT EACH PORT OF CALL!

I AM SOOOOO THERE! I HAVE WANTED TO TRY THIS FOREVER! LET'S GO!
Honk my horn when a stranger walks right in front of my parked car.. just to see their reaction.
YOU'RE MEAN! LOVE IT! ACTUALLY, I HAVE DONE THIS, BUT NOT ON PURPOSE.
Eat an entire pie by myself
I HAVE DONE THIS TOO! I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST RATTED MYSELF OUT!
Play in the rain. Naked.
ANYTHING NAKED! I HATE CLOTHES! BUT A WARM RAIN WOULD BE VERY NICE.
Have sex every day for an entire year
I GET TOO PISSED AT ERIC ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR DOING SOMETHING STUPID THAT THIS SIMPLY ISN'T A POSSIBILITY.
Get punched right in the face. Hard. (never been hit there before)
OK. WELL. YOU DO THAT THEN! LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES!
Oh yeah .. and I wanna be a billionaire.. so freaking bad.
SHARE!
LOVE YA!
Hey..You made me cry! I too have a bucket list and many of yours are on mine (we should talk!) This summer made me feel compelled to work on my list now! I think a lot of people have a bucket list but don't allow themselves to dream! If you don't dream, they can't come true!
