The Bucket List

RoundEye · Post by **RoundEye** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 2:52 am

Have you ever made a list of things you’d like to see or do before you kick the bucket (died)?

Mine

1 – Skydive. Jump right the hell out of a perfectly good plane.

2 – Empty the magazine on a fully automatic weapon.

3 – Ride a motorcycle over 200mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

4 – See my son graduate college.

5 – See my wife hit the lottery.

6 – Make someone smile or laugh once a day until the inevitable
moment comes.

Yes, this is a thread inspired by the movie The Bucket List. That movie has hit me on a deeper emotional level then any movie ever has.

Chambers (Freeman) explains to Cole (Nicolson) a fictional question while sitting on top a pyramid,

Egyptians believe that when one enters the after-life a person is asked two questions:

1 - Did you find joy in your life?
2 - Did you bring joy to others?

Just something worthy of contemplation or an answer if you want to.

Tony, I think #4 on your list is why I’d like #5 on my list to happen.

.

1) spend my remaining time with my woman and my dog

2)continue to have no regrets

3)to slow down and relax and take time to smell the flowers along the way,& not be in a hurry like the rest of the humans

4)get done with child support

5)move to a place that makes me happy to finish my years on this planet

6)since cancer runs in my family,I hope to live a while more.

I don't need to climb some silly mountain,or swim a large body of water,or save humanity,
I just want to enjoy what time I have left,
Life is really very short.
