Bucket List

[jmagnus]

I have yet to see the movie and I don't even know if I will. But I do think it's an interesting concept.

So, the question is, what is on your bucket list?
Anything you have done that you think others should add to theirs?

FYI, a bucket list is a list of things to do before you "kick the bucket"...

Great topic! (I haven't seen the film either, but I plan to.)

My bucket list off the top of my head:

1. Go to Sicily to see where my ancestors were from.
2. Write a book. (whether it gets published or not)
3. Go back to ballroom dancing. (Floating on air and feeling like Ginger Rogers is something I absolutely MUST experience again.)
4. Get married. (I've picked out my perfect wedding dress and I'm gonna wear it even if I have to stand outside a church with a sign "bride available!")
5. Get a master's degree.
6. Own a dog.
7. Read William Faulkner's The Sound and The Fury. (It's been pestering me since high school.)
8. Try to find a long lost Kappa Delta sister if only to tell her how much she meant to me in college.
9. Become Kappa Delta's National Ritualist. (Okay, so the position doesn't even exist, but I can dream right?)

If I were younger and healthier I would add:

10. Go to Rio de Janeiro for Carnaval.
11. Drive a race car once.
12. Take acting classes and perform on stage.
13. Learn how to play the piano.
14. Have children. (either my own or adopted)

So many more things have popped into my head but I'll leave my list as is.

ETA: This could be a really great motivator for anyone who adds their list. Wouldn't it be great to come back to the thread later and see a whole bunch of notes saying, "DONE!"

I didn't think I'd like it because I'm not really a big fan of Jack Nicholson, but the boy's dad told us that we'd enjoy it, and we actually did. Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson are fantastic!

You are never too old for that. I use to race with guys that were in their 70s. Unless you are blind, you can still do it....often!

On this subject... has anyone else heard of www.43things.com?

It is a social networking site that links you to other people that have the same things on your list of lifetime goals. To me I've found it pretty interesting to see which of my own goals are super popular and which ones are pretty unique to either just me or a few.

hmm... this is a good topic, and someone mentioned this to me before, but i haven't really thought about it yet.

1. Road trip across the US
2. Travel/ backpack across Europe (Germany, Spain, Greece, more of Italy, more of England and France, Portugal, Netherlands, Scotland, you get the idea)
3. Race car driving school (LOL Leslie Anne, you aren't the only one!!)
4. Drive on the Autobahn
5. Get Master's
6. Get Ph.D.
7. Get married (i'd like to, but I have no prospects as of yet...)
8. have babies AND adopt and/or be a foster mom
9. Meet Ani Difranco... her music changed my life (I'd like to meet other people of course, but she's definitely number 1)
10. Be a professor
11. Have enough money to pay my bills in the same month (low goal, but sadly it's needed right now)
12. be able to help my friends/family financially
13. Take ballet classes again
14. See Bob Dylan in concert (see a lot more ppl in concert actually)
15. Go to Mardi Gras (hopefully New Orleans will return to it's glory once again)
16. Restore my sorority house to it's full beauty (it's pretty beat up...)
17. I would love to expand my sorority to another campus so it's regional.

'Tis true. I mainly did club racing (won a national title in 1997), but I did a couple of open-wheeled classes at Mid Ohio. I sold my car 4 years ago , but am still a big enthusiast.

I was going to get into SCCA, but unless you have a lot of sponsors and loads of vacation time at work, it can be very expensive. I had a blast doing it and met some great people.

Maybe to being able to attend some funerals for people who do not desearve it!

What a trip that would be!

You want to attend people's funerals who don't deserve to have them?

You're an idiot.

Go drink some scotch and stand in traffic.

Ok, but yeah, I'm on 43things! Some of my "things" are lame, but some are decent! Hmm...floss every day, donate blood, learn to surf...

As far as "bucket list" type stuff,

1) Donate blood
2) Visit Spain
3) Run a mile without stopping
4) Learn how to drive stick-shift
5) Get married
6) Have kids
7) Get a labrador retriever (lol)
8) Be an influential teacher (you know, after I get my credential...like 3 years from now)
