Life What's on your "Bucket List"? - Page 10

ziggysocki · 12:23 PM

My stepdad died of cancer in June of 2009 (he had a bone marrow transplant in 93 and a recurrence in 05) the last weeks were not pleasant. Also. the wifey fought off breast cancer over the last 18 months. This crap had gotten me thinking about my own "bucket list" so last summer I got a jump on it. Since August of last year I have done a several 5k races, a sprint triathlon, a couple duathlons and a full marathon. I have some more athletic competitions on the horizon, but was wondering what else I might give a go. Any suggestions (besides antifreeze)? What have you already done? What would you still like to do? Thanks, and of course, sorry if repost.

For me, absolutely nothing. Whatever happens in life happens. **** lists.

Very little left to accomplish on my list. Many of the things already noted here in this thread, check.

The next big one is to be in the audience and applaud my son when he wins a grammy. Although I sure want to last a lot longer than that since we're sort of planning that over the next year or two.

#1) Be debt free.
#2) See the Chiefs play in every NFL stadium.
#3) Take my wife to Europe. I have been to several countries in the Navy and my wife has not set foot outside the US.
#4) Walk my daughters down the isle.

It is something to think about. My father died of cancer when he was 42 years old. He worked like a dog and didn't enjoy life nearly as much as he should have. Oddly, I fell into the exact same trap.

I will definitely have trouble finding something that was as much fun as my first parachute jump was, but the fact is, I am gonna enjoy the hell out of looking for it.

This should be at the top of your list:

Delete all your downloaded porn.

Be around for my sons wedding
Have a 50th wedding anniversery
Get my choper next year.

I got clean and sober (well at least it ain't a problem anymore) 8 years ago. After that, I got everything I ever wanted when I see my boy smile at me and say "I love you daddy"

Man. I have so many things I want to do or see before I die.

See the Chiefs win a Super Bowl
See the Orioles win a World Series

Visit (in no particular order)
-Grand Canyon
-Australia
-Black Hills
-Las Vegas
-Hawaii (again)
-Alaska
-Baseball Hall of Fame
-Football Hall of Fame

See another game in Arrowhead (Been to 2, living in VA makes it tough)
See a game in Wrigley
See a game in Fenway

Own a Corvette
Own a log house

Get in shape

holy crap! 5 years and 21 posts! If get to 1000 posts was on your list, you would really need to step it up!

I have always wanted to travel.
After watching Judge Dredd last night I revised that,
I want to travel to places that have toilet paper.
and flushies.

jidar · 09-01-2009, 07:58 AM

My bucket list:

1: Don't have a bucket list
2: Ride up a mountain on a motorcycle.
3: Jump a shark on water skis.

Yeah, I'm pretty much ****ed.

To catch a large Blue Marlin off the coast of Cabo.

australia, patagonia fly fishing, alaska, british columbia, hiking the apalacian trail, riding a motorcycle across the United States camping all the way, going out to the wilderness survivorman style with no food and trying to be somewhat comfortable.

Well, the list was things I can do before I do. At this pace, I don't think I can reach 1000 posts before I croak.
