Most of you might recognize the title of my blog right now as a title stolen from the movie of the same name. Well, yes, that is what this blog is all about, really. I saw that movie tonight. I won't talk about how good it was, because that's not what this is about. For thsoe of you that do not know what a bucket list is, it's a list that you make of things you want to do before you "kick the bucket", per se. I felt inspired after the movie to create a similar list of my own. So, this is my bucket list (not in any particular order).
1. Find true happiness and never let go of it. 2. Make somebody else happy. 3. Go skydiving. 4. Eat pizza in Italy. 5. Tour Athens (Greece). 6. See a heavy metal show in Finland. 7. Find true love. 8. Kiss the most beautiful girl in the world. 9. Play guitar on a record and have it sell 50,000+ copies. 10. Make at least one person laugh until they cry. 11. Master the art of humility. 12. Experience true silence. 13. Hear the voice of God in the wind. 14. Make a speech that causes somebody in the audience to shed tears. 15. Go to somebody's wedding. 16. Be at my own wedding. 17. Dance with my future daughter at her wedding (after walking her down the aisle). 18. Teach my son how to throw a baseball. 19. Sit at the top of a pyramid. 20. Make a profound difference in somebody's life. 21. Eat lunch with the President (present or future). 22. Wake up to the sun shining in my bedroom window...in Venice. 23. Have a pen pal. 24. Wake up next to the most beautiful wife on the planet. (My wife...not somebody else's...don't be a douche about this). 25. Become so depressed that I can't remember what happiness feels like - just so I can appreciate happiness at its full value. 26. Learn how to balance life. 27. Love somebody more than I love myself. 28. Experience true loss (which is only possible if I can achieve number 27). 29. Go on a missions trip to Africa. 30. Build a house for somebody who doesn't have one. 31. Experience a dictatorship so I can appreciate freedom. 32. Save somebody's life. 33. Meet the boys from Metallica. 34. Prove the existence of God to just one person, if not many. 35. Stand on the peak of a mountain. 36. Write a love song and play it for the girl I love. 37. Ride a horse. 38. Not speak for a full day. 39. Learn the power of grace and mercy. 40. Take a homeless person to a rich restaurant and buy him a meal. 41. Dance with a girl (to a slow song, none of that bump and grind crap). 42. Feel loved by somebody. 43. Form my own rock band. 44. Help somebody in need without realizing it. 45. Pray for somebody and have that person thank me for it. 46. Visit an African Safari (a real one in Africa. Not some bull crap Ontario one). 47. Shoot a gun. 48. Conquer my fears. 49. Conquer my insecurity. 50. Drive a Porsche 911.
