Today I was talking to my buddy David and he started telling me about the time he went bobsledding….and scuba diving…and on some Mexican Safari (which is a very odd story, but more about that later….) and I realize
d there are so many things I want to accomplish in my lifetime. Call it a quarter-life crisis, but I will be 25 this year and I feel like if I don’t step up to the plate now, I won’t be able to do these things later.
So, this brings me to my insightful “Bucket List” blog post. It’s a start to a list of things I would like to accomplish before I die. If you have done any of these things or you think there is something else I should try (I generally will try anything), please feel free to share your comments/insight.
1. Visit Venice, Italy and ride on a gondola.
2. Sit on a hill overlooking the Golden Gate bridge and watch a California sunset.
3. Go to the Olympics.
4. Write a book. (much like my friend Bob… everyone should go buy his book– it’s simply fabulous! )
5. Be my own boss.
6. Marry the love of my life.
7. Learn to play the piano.
8. Go skiing in Colorado.
9. Be a mommy and a best friend to my children.
10. Drive across the country.
11. Be a role model to someone.
12. Go to Disney World AND Disney Land.
13. Stay in a penthouse at the Bellagio in Vegas – hehe that’s just a fun one 
14. Buy a house with a big wrap-around porch (with rocking chairs)
15. Sit next to Tom Hamilton while he gives a play-by-play at an Indians game.
16. Swim with dolphins.
17. Run a marathon.
18. Visit Sydney, Australia ( shout-out to Paull Young on that one! )
19. Travel Europe with my mom.
20. Own my own coffee shop.
So, there’s a start. Hopefully I can cross some of these off the list soon. But, I will probably add more to replace the ones I accomplished! Ahhh…. that felt good. Fellow PR folks and social media butterflies… sorry if this post bores you– but no fears, an insightful PR post is being crafted as we speak.
If I where you I’d move Sydney up to number 1. In saying that though, Venice is one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited.
Cool list!
Abster,
I’ve read that you want to learn to play the piano. You may have to cross out this item from your list soon. I’m not talking about taking private tutorial lessons but buying Piano Wizard. Piano Wizard is a video game which will teach you how to play the piano and read notes as well. You can even learn how to play your favorite songs. Isnt that amazing? =)
Thanks Paull!
I suppose I will have to get the inside scoop from you before venturing to beautiful Sydney, huh?
I will take that into consideration—haha
Personally, I think that #6 should be moved up to #1, but that is just me
Ha. Well, you are entitled to your opinion mr. margo. I will take your suggestion into consideration as well. (although that depends more on your actions than my own)
I think that you have left out a few very important items…1) Meet Grady 2) Have more girls nights:)
I also want to go swimming with the dolphins so maybe we could do it on a joint vacation to somewhere fabulous!!!
Actually, I was going to add “Meet Grady Sizemore and confess my undying love to him” But, it got replaced by some more important items. Girls nights are a MUST
sweet bucket list! i must work on making one myself. thanks for posting this up in your myspace! these posts are great reads!
rawk,
Luke
Thanks Luke!!
I must say that your blog is a wonderful read as well
How about Joining the Peace Corps?
Joining the Peace Corps is a very good idea that I really didn’t consider until now. I have friends in the Peace Corps and they love having the opportunity to travel and make a difference. Thanks for the tip!
