The Bucket List Thread

Move out
Be happy

All I can think of...

 

Hrm...I'd definitely like to leave the country someday. I'd also like to help out/live on a farm at some point. And, naturally as a writer, I want to be published at least once. But, beside that...My main 'bucket list' is:

-Marry someone I truly love
-Maybe adopt a kid
-Fly a plane, go paragliding or something along those lines
-Help a lot of people through my writing/art
-Help lots of kids when I become a special ed teacher.

 

Marry a man I love
Successfully accumulate my family affairs and documents so it can be handed down neatly and in a simple and orderly way (that's a task we've all been rather terrible at)
Get a doctorate or at least a master's degree
Speak Spanish, French, and Finnish (maybe more) fluently

 

I only have one more thing. I have done all the things I wanted but transitioning that money can buy, like I have been to all the places I wanted to go like The Queen Mary, and the Overlook Hotel off The Shinning (Temberline Lodge Mt. Hood, Or), and the Devil's Tower in Close Encounters of the Third Kind to name a few. I have owned all the possessions I have ever wanted, houses, cars, antiques, etc.

My biggest want is to have a big wedding. It is the one thing money can't buy me.... Mike will never do it to make me happy as he thinks the idea is silly. Oh well! June

 

-Marry someone I love.
-Travel to every continent and go to each of the states/provinces/teritories in Canada and the US
-Move to a big city (Toronto, Montreal, or Ottawa)
-Live in one of Canada's teritories (Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut) for a bit so I can experience the true north.
-Find another dog to love and care for as the one I had a few years ago had to be put down.
-Learn another language (French, Mandarin Chinese, or a North American first nation language)
-Raise a child
-Work in a Social Service office
-Make good friends

 

Call me weird, but honestly I always knew I would die at a young age. Like around the late 20s' or early 30s. So my only goal would be to just move out soon and live on my own for a while.

 

• Be satisfied

 

Get married
Own a Corvette
I've been thinking lately I may want an adopted son, even though I've sworn off parenthood for so long.

 

Marry the woman of my dreams
Own a 1957 Bel Air
Visit "notorious" haunted places: Aslyums, old hospitals, jails, and the bell witch cave
Go to Italy, Spain, France, Rome, Guam, and Hawaii
Skydiving
Go on a cruise

 

A portion of my list can be viewed here.

It's not entirely up to date, as I posted it when we still had the ability to edit blog posts. And I've changed since its initial creation - both for better and for worse.

But the idea of a list of things one wants to accomplish in life has always fascinated me. Socially, at least I feel, it allows our innermost desires to come forward. I love that. I love the insight into other people's minds sharing these lists can provide.

 

PAINT A ROOM.
like i literally want to get a paint brush and just paint the walls of a room....

 

Drive around Australia in a bus or in something tows a caravan. Visit some countries such as Austria. Would love to meet Elton John in the flesh and have a good yarn with him. Own a set of ladies outfits.

 

I just want to be happy & have friends & family around me .

 

- Attend some kind of big rally thing,
- Go see a musical in Germany,
- Actually become fluent in German,
- Earn a plaque somewhere,
- Complete higher education, and
- Get married (if my hypothetical partner wants to).

I'm slightly fuzzy on the details, in case you hadn't noticed.

Mirko: I think you've set yourself an impossible task with that reading one...

treeofleaves: I know what you mean! What colors would you want to paint it?

Black Cat: If you want the post edited, just say.

 

I want to be strong enough to continue helping people despite abuse I get from all sectors of humanity.

I want to set up a charity and do something practical to help people.

I'd like to make a difference and alleviate suffering.

I'd like to convince people that the worship of money can often lead to hardship, suffering and bloodshed.

 

* Marry someone I love.
* Have/adopt at least one child.
* Write/publish at least one novel.
* Get better at the guitar.
* Become fluent in another language.

 

Get my PhD (I'm halfway there)
Go to all 50 states (35/50)
Drive across the US
Visit the Baseball Hall of Fame
Take a boat across the Atlantic Ocean
Raft the Grand Canyon
Get married
Write a book (related to my research, not a novel)
Visit all MLB stadiums (7/30)

But honestly this is the most important one: be a better and happier person each day than I was the day before
