Something that has hit pop culture hard recently has been the notion of bucket list. Popularized initially by the movie, the Bucket List, with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, and followed up with the Buried Life, people have caught on to the idea of doing the things you want to do with urgency, before you die.
I love the idea. I view the bucket list as a simple future goals list with a nice deadline: as soon as possible. I no longer regret the past nor fear the future or death, all that matters is that I have tried my best to do the things I either said I was going to do, or wanted to. With that, I've compiled my bucket list for all to see and also for me to be held accountable to. Here's my bucket list, from when I started it til now: (The things that I have done are in are green) Speak in front of: 50 people - WLV Festival 100 people 250 people - Division B competition 300 people - Freshman Reception August 2011 400 people - District 21 Humorous Speech Competition November 2011 500 people 1,000 people Area Champion Division B Champion - YES - April 26th, 2012 District Champion Region Champion World Champion of Public Speaking Music: Perform in front of 50 people - March, 2011, FSA Night/September 2011, WLV Festival Perform in front of 750 people - March, 2007 Perform in front of 1,000 people Compose an album - 2006 Compose a second album Open Mic Night - December 19, 2011 Buy a black grand piano for my home Build/buy a studio Athletics: Played squash for the first time - New Year's 2012, with John Storm the Wall - 2009-2012 Day of the Longboat - 2011&2012 Harry Rosen Run - March 2011 - with AKPsi (44:21)Harry Rosen Run - March 2012 - with AKPsi (41:13) Sun Run - April 2011 - with Kristy (55:06)Sun Run - April 2012 - with Blake, Debbie Half Marathon - May 2011 - with Kajaul, Beatrix, Liz, and Charlotte (2:30:16) Half Marathon - May 2012 - with Arash, Beatrix, David, Blake, Jackson, Kevin, Kevin, Tommy, Emily, Jin, Susan, Zhian (2:18:50) Salsa dancing lessons - 2008-2012 Full Marathon - (tbd) Super Spartan 15km Race - 2012, with Brandon, Jason, and Bella Tough Mudder - 2013 Travel: Barcelona, Spain - Dec, 2012 Italy - Dec, 2012 Go on a cruise that drops by Italy/Greece or Panama - October-November 2013?
