This blog ain't meant for those people I know - unless they happen upon it - it's meant for YOU... I simply want to share some of my experiences I've had in life; and hopefully at the same time lift up the spirits of those who happen upon this blog.

If Today Was Your Last Day; Bucket List


My best friend gave me the best advice,
He said each day's a gift and not a given right,
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind,
And try to take the path less traveled by,
That first step you take is the longest stride,

If today was your last day,
And tomorrow was too late,
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past,
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day...

I thought about this recently. And I've seen people talk about if they knew that today was their last day, what they would do...


The Other Guys. I love this movie :)

So some guys that just robbed a bank use a military-grade zip-line to get away and then cut the line. So, Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson who were chasing them, look down and then at each other. One of them says, "Aim for the bushes." Then they fistbump.


So they jump off, aiming for the bushes.

Problem is...

There were no bushes.

Here's 'The Jump'
Haahahahaha xD


Anyways... But that's not what the song is talking about. The song is really saying live each and every day as if it's your last day. So always try to enjoy life. And I've decided to do just that. I've created a bucket list. It is nowhere near finished. I expect I'll always be adding to it (I may not always update it though).

My Bucket List
( as of a few months ago, my current updated one is where?; in no particular order)

0.


1. When married, start Christmas Tradition of Nerf Gun War, and go all out.

1.5. Get married

2. Catch a lightning bug in my bare hands.

3. Bury someone neck-deep in sand, and then go get an ice cream cone.

4. Swordfight at a department store on a skateboard.

4.5. Learn how to use a skateboard.

5. Throw or hoist a TV out a second or higher story window (will be done soon).

6. Make a Slip-n-Slide at least 100 feet long that ends in a pool.

7. Go to an airport, and buy the ticket to the first plane out.

8. Stand on top of a moving train.

9. Ride a dolphin.

10. Participate in an ostrich race.

11. Hug a panda bear.

12. Juggle one flaming torch, but learn to juggle one unflaming torch first.

13. Go to Detroit Boardwalk at 3 am.

14. Ride either a kangaroo or a polar bear.

15. Go to Iceland, and eat ice cream. They have 6% ice cream, and special grass that makes it very yummmy :)

17. Put Vanilla Pudding in Mayo Jar and eat in front of people.
Patrick Star: "Is Mayonnaise an instrument?"

18. Fly. Not in a plane. Not with a jetpack. Not in a videogame. Fly in real life, like as if I had a superpower.

19. Tell my kids the family story (read: I made up) of why we put an angel on the tree. Memorize the thirty pages though.

20. Jump into a moving car going at least fifteen miles per hour.

21. Go skydivin'

22. Be like Misha Collins. Aside from his fantastic acting, he does some great philanthropic work around the world and seriously cares :) I'd love to create a charity organization like he has some day :)

23. Whether right before or just a little after my mission, release an album with my own songs.

24. Visit "Radiator Springs."

25. Go inside the Pyramids in Egypt.

26. Swim with the dolphins.

27. Get in a classic car, and drive across the country. One coast to the other, no destination.

28. Publish a book. Just done for the fun :)

29. Do the Color Run.

30.
