Your Bucket List?

[Starbird]

What is it? You know - those things you haven't done yet, always wanted to do and vow to do...eventually?

For me:
- Learn guitar.
- Rewatch the entire Dragon Ball saga.
- Buy a boat and live on it for as long as I can.
- Travel on a submarine.
- Own a parrot.

Nothing too amazing.

 

[Artina89]

My list is fairly short:

-Arrange driving lessons

-Pass driving test

-Get a better paying job

I don't want to start looking for a new job until I have achieved the first two objectives as it will mean I could potentially look for jobs further afield.

 

[JoJo]

Let's see, these are more long term but are things I would feel disappointed I didn't do if I died now:

-Get a book published
-Go on holiday to somewhere in East Asia
-Go on holiday to somewhere in the Islamic world
-Raise a child
-Play a true-to-life virtual reality game
-Go into space

Okay, the last one is probably a long shot but it's always been a dream of mine so perhaps in a few decades time space tourism will be an affordable thing for the ordinary man

 

[Scarim Coral]

Vow to do? Well that version is alot shorter for me-

Get a girlfriend.
Lived in a flat on my owned.
Invite my friends over and stayed over at my place for a few days while enjoying this beach town.
Get at least one of my comicbook character drawn out in physical form than in my head.
Visit China or Hong Kong again.

 

[Armadox]

As a follower of Sithrak, my one sole duty is to stay alive as long as I can.

Ergo, I suppose my bucket list has but one item:

1. Do everything I can, from robotic enhancements to becoming a windego to continue existing as long as possible, least till I become immortal and no longer fear his unhallowed wrath.
Extension A: If I fail, take pleasure knowing that my own torment will be no worse then everyone else's. Which is, if nothing else, fair.

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

At least in the foreseeable future...

-Get better at art (ongoing goal that will never end)

-Buy a tablet monitor
-Redo my website
-Get a better job
(These three are connected to each other)

-Learn Spanish
-Jump out of a plane

 

[Barbas]

-Jump out of a plane.

Radical awesome. Take the land altitude into account; you might be plummeting quickly through thin air like a rock. Over Kenya, my friend had one of his worst jumps because he only had about 10 seconds in the air.

OT:

- Maybe get a dog, or work in a place that involves helping people and/or animals more than I currently do.
- Get real fit, oil myself up to look like Conan and possibly take Austrian lessons. At the very least, learn to pronounce "women" convincingly as "vimmin".
- Learn another language - possibly sign language, not sure which of those.
- Deep and fulfilling personal enrichment. Manual.
- Redushe alcohol conshumpshion.
- Write something I can be really proud of.
- Learn an instrument again, preferably the piano.

-Go into space

Okay, the last one is probably a long shot but it's always been a dream of mine so perhaps in a few decades time space tourism will be an affordable thing for the ordinary man

You could get completely spaced out instead, not that I'd advocate such a naughty, naughty thing.

In madness, all is true. Nothing is permitted. Do it anyway.

Visit Japan and Norway
Play in my own metal band

And as cliche as it is, go skydiving. I went bungie jumping a few years back and loved it so I want to see what throwing myself out of an airplane would be like.

 

[Hectix777]

Been skydiving twice, once at ten thousand feet and the other at twenty.
Just thought I'd warn you its a hell of a snooze fest

I've never really thought about a bucket list.
Guess I've done a fair bit already if I was to draw one up.
Not driven an expensive sports car before, wouldn't mind doing that.
Would love to fly in a fighter jet. I know in Russia you can fly in the back of a flanker or mig 29 if you pay enough money.

 

[lechat]

Too many people confusing what should be goals with bucket list items.
Getting a better job or car or girlfriend is not a bucket list item it's something you can work towards everyday and you can start by just whipping out a notebook and writing that goal down, If you do that one small thing you are halfway to completing that goal (try it!).

The main problem i have with this thread is the amount of people who want to learn a musical instrument or language and will more than likely never do it. As someone who has both learned another language (mostly) and a musical instrument (in progress) i am amazed at the amount of people who when told so tell me they always wanted to learn "x". When i ask why they haven't yet i never hear a good answer, it basically always boils down to being too scared of failing or being too busy procrastinating. Trust me almost noone has a schedule so tight they can't spare 20 minuets a day and the only thing worse than failing is never trying.

You can learn a language in the time it takes you to travel to work/school every day and you can get a passable version of almost any musical instrument you can think of for less than 200 bucks (usually much cheaper) I recommend a teacher for the first year but there is nothing stopping you from buying a cheap instrument on ebay and doing youtube tutorials to learn to bash away at the thing.

OT
I would love to play a strad or guarneri purely to see if they are worth the hype. I wouldn't mind some space travel but failing that maybe a little zero G action in the vomit comet.

- Own a parrot

Ya know what you need? You need an African Grey. Yes, they're a bit expensive. No, they're not as colorful as species like the Blue & Gold or Scarlet macaws but they're incredibly smart. They're so smart that you could actually end up with an asshole...My dad owned an Ass-rican Grey while I lived with him a few years ago. Whenever people were over, Niko would make very specific noises based on what would annoy the people in the room the most. They can learn an incredibly extensive vocabulary (especially if you get one young enough) and they can be trained to be incredibly friendly too (again, if you get one young enough)
