The Bucket List

I know it's a bit early to be discussing the end of my life (which shall never come... I am IMMORTAL!!!), but I read an interesting post on [carrotspeak]- a blog I follow, and, so far, have been enjoying every bit of it- about making your own bucket list. A bucket list is a list of goals you'd like to accomplish before you die, or, "kick the bucket", if you will. So, without further a due....

Ryan's Bucket List! (results may vary)
  • Leave my home state
  • Leave the country
  • Learn to speak fluent Spanish (psh. Yeah right.)
  • Get an A+ in Math class (on a report card)
  • Reach the top of the Empire State Building
  • Reach the top of the Statue of Liberty
  • Watch the Red Sox win the World Series on live television (or some good seats to the game, either would be nice)
  • Find a Babe Ruth baseball card
  • Get an autograph from a famous celebrity
  • Meet a famous celebrity
  • Go to a Green Day concert
  • Learn to play the electric guitar
  • Meet the president of the United States
  • See the White House in person
  • Become famous
  • See the day that RySpace becomes successful
  • Visit California
  • Go camping (No, I have never been camping. Ever.)
  • Write a book, that becomes published
  • Write a book that gets on the New York Times Best Seller list
  • Be on TV
  • Learn to fly
  • Get 1000+ different songs on my iPod
  • Stay up past midnight
  • Find a cure for cancer
  • Go bungee jumping
  • See the Grand Canyon in person
  • Stand in the center of "The Four Corners" in the United States
  • See the Pacific Ocean
  • Meet David Ortiz
  • Get David Ortiz's autograph
  • Get everything I want for Christmas
  • Go on a shopping spree just for me
  • Save someone's life
  • Win the lottery
  • Sit in the "Green Monster" seats at Fenway Park
  • Count to 2,000 without stopping
  • Throw out the Ceremonial First Pitch at Fenway Park
  • Throw (or attend) a Superbowl Party (preferably for a Superbowl in which the Patriots are in)
  • Hit a home run
  • Read all seven Harry Potter books
  • Learn a magic trick
  • Live in a mansion
  • "Kick the bucket" in style!
I'm sure there's more I could add to that list, but that should be enough for now. I think making these things is actually a good idea, because it's an easy, and fun way to tell people about themselves. As for my list, there's a lot I could say about the stuff up there, so if you have any questions, or comments about any of the things on the list, don't hesitate to leave a comment on this blog post. I'd also love to hear what's on your bucket list, so feel free to add that too!
Anyway, if there were ever a moral to this post, it would be to live life in the moment, don't sweat the small stuff, follow your dreams, and don't do drugs.
...?
Yours in awesomeness,
~Ry.

  2. I like the "count to 2000" one. :) I think the furthest I've ever counted (I swore I'd go to one million once...and didn't) was just over 500... lol. Thanks for participating!

  3. Carrie; Yeah, I think I've counted to a little over a thousand once. I was trying to see if I could count farther than my brothers/cousin.

    Patti; Yeah, it was during the tour of Fenway I went on with Pa. We were brought up to the Monster seats. Such a good view!

  5. Haha! Actually, I only technically got that book published! I made it using something I got for my brithday a long time ago, called "Illustory", which alllows you to write/illustrate your own twleve-page book. Then, you send the pages out to the people at "Illustory", and they'll publish it in a hardcover format. So, unfortunately, you won't be able to get it. Sorry to get your hopes up!
