The bucket list. The things in life that you hope to accomplish before you, well, kick the bucket. I love talking to people about their bucket lists. It is amazing what you can find out about a person by knowing what they want to do with the time that they have left. Some have a list a million miles long, others only a few. If you don't have one, I highly recommend jotting a few things down somewhere.
Don't worry folks, I am not going to sit here and list the 58 things I need to do before I meet my maker because I don't have 58. I have 3. 3 tiny little things that I feel that I should experience at some point in the hopefully near future.
1. Go see a movie at a drive in movie theater. I know I only live 45 minutes from Neligh and that O'Neill used to have one when I was little, but I have never been to a drive in movie and I think it would be wonderful. I know most of you are thinking 'well then get in the car and go', but here is where my shyness comes into play. I hate doing things for the first time with no guidance. Going to a drive in movie without someone who knows the ropes would probably cause a panic attack or at least a little nervous sweating. Are there certain rules? Is there a vehicle that is better than another to take? Do they still use the little speaker boxes that you have to put in your window? What if it is really hot and I have to sit in a hot car and pass out and die? Well I guess I could at least cross 'going to a drive in theater' off my bucket list at that point :) So if you or anyone you know would like to go to the movies, keep me in mind.
2. Go on a roller coaster. Again, I know I am weird. Here's the deal with me never going on a roller coast, or really any carnival rides for that matter. I was watching Oprah when I was very little with my mom one afternoon and the episode was about carnival rides gone wrong. Well lets just say that a family of four that was killed because the roller coaster came off the tracks and flew through the air may have scared me a little bit. I also don't like rides that drop so fast where my butt comes off the seat. I need to have my bum firmly planted at all times. At some point I am going to muster up all of my courage and go on a real roller coaster. Thank goodness I don't live near an amusement park so that I am able to put this off for as long as I possibly can.
3. Swim with great white sharks. Nothing about swimming with sharks makes me nervous or scares me. I would have done it by now but I want to go to South Africa, because rumor has it they have the baddest of the bad when it comes to great whites, and that costs a pretty penny. I am going to do everything like a true shark bad ass would do. I am going to go where the big sharks are, throw the chum overboard and wait for them to swarm, get in a cage and dive. I hope they get mad and bump into the cage and stuff like that. Cant wait!
I would love to hear what all of you have on your buckets lists!
