My bucket list


I was watching a movie the other day and someone said "if you had 5 minutes to do something you really wanted to do before you died, what would it be?"
I've been thinking about it for a few weeks now and I still don't know what I would do in my last 5 minutes, but I do know what I would want to do before I die in general, so I came up with my bucket list. I'd always had my mental bucket list, but I had never actually written one, so I thought this would be a good way to start. I won't lose it, I won't misplace it, I won't rip it, I won't tear it up... It'll be here, on my blog, as long as the blog exists, that way I can always remember what it says and I can add or mark things off as I go along...

There are other things that I know I would want to add here, but I either can't think of them at the moment, or I can't simply post that kind of information here. So these are good for now.
Hopefully I'll get to mark most of them off as years go by.
I guess I'll just have to wait and see...
