What's your Bucket List look like?
A new movie is about to hit the theaters January 11 called The Bucket List, featuring veteran actors Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
The plot revolves around two elderly men (played by Nicholson and Freeman) who find themselves sharing space in a hospital cancer ward and decide to make a list of things they'd like to do before then kick the bucket; a list which includes skydiving, driving a pair of Shelby Cobras and seeing the Great Wall of China among other things. They then set about doing them.
So, what's your bucket list look like? (Mine is below.)
I have an idea I'd like to proffer. Let's start a meme. Yea, I know memes are kind of tired and "been there, done that," but this might be fun.
Create your bucket list anywhere you'd like and invite five others to do the same. Create it on your blog, , wherever. Doesn't matter really, just do it. If such a meme already exists, perhaps the two will meet. And if you don't mind, leave a comment to let me know.
Here's my list in no particular order...
- Get my sailplane rating and fly them regularly
- Visit China
- Skydive (my wife did it as well as my son, so I'm up for it)
- See a Pat Metheny Group concert
- Visit Paris
- Go back to Singapore
- Live in NYC for six months
- Live in San Franciso for six months
- Live in Seattle for six months
- Write at least one more book
- Make a million dollars in one year
- Give away a million dollars in one year
- Live long enough to see my son's achieve some of their dreams
- Go back into business for myself
- Be an extra in a Robert Duval movie (so long as he was on the set)
- Ask forgiveness of everyone I've hurt in my life
- Live as a missionary in Haiti for six months
-
Run a marathon - Watch the sun come up in St. Thomas
- Watch the sun set in Maui
I realize this might appeal to the, uh, hum, older set, but perhaps not. I mean, we all gotta die sometime, right?
