Bucket List: A list of things to do before you die. Comes from the term “kicked the bucket”.
That definition comes up first in the Urban Dictionary Maybe there are some places you’d like to visit or people you’d like to meet. The point is, you don’t want to realize that your life is over and there were so many things that you never had the chance/took the time to do.
I’ve been doing a little research (did you know that there are sites here where you can make your own bucket list and cross things off as you complete them)? After comparing several of them, I’ve narrowed it down to 10 of the most popular bucket list items as well as two from my own list.
This entire list will be included in my own, whenever I get around to making it. Here they are, in no particular order.
1. Swim with dolphins. That would be fucking awesome.

I’d even take it own step further and say “Ride a dolphin”. And once he discovers the nag that I apparently am, he can say, “Get off my fucking back.”

And if we really hit it off (from my mouth to God’s ears) , I may try to talk him into a tango.

2. Join the Mile High Club. For those of you living under a rock, that means having sex at the minimum altitude of 5,280 feet, or one mile.

Unless of course it’s the pilot and co-pilot. Because then we might be in trouble. Or in the ocean. Or both.

3. Go on an African safari. Giraffes, Lions, leopards…it would be awesome to these these gorgeous animals in their natural habitat.

Not to mention, a sunrise that renders me speechless (a HUGE feat).

4. Scuba dive in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Turquoise water, white sand and an endless amount of beautiful coral and breathtaking tropical fish. I might have trouble with my fear of dying by asphyxiation…meh.

5. Hold a Koala bear. Another item set in Australia. I just may have to go there.

6. Fish for marlin. This is one helluva fighter and there are special, thick rods that are anchored to the floor of the boat, to catch them.

7. Sleep with a celebrity. So if anyone out there should happen to have the contact details for…let’s say Megan Fox….or Shemar Moore, please accept this blowjob as payment for your troubles email me.

8. Watch the ball drop on New Year’s eve in Times Square. Always wanted to do that. In fact, I think I’d like to find a way to have sex there…as the ball is dropping.

9. Hang-glide. I imagine it’s probably the closest we are going to get, to being a bird. I often dream that I can fly…but it’s usually to get away from something big and ugly that’s chasing me. It takes me SO fucking long to get off the ground that I think I have a heart attack before I do.

10. Produce and star in my own music video. My daughter have been talking about doing this for the past year or two. Combined I think we have enough computer skills to make something decent, but we keep putting it off. Anyways…it’s on the list.

And I hope this doesn’t make me sound like a slut if I could add a couple from my own list…
11. Participate in an orgy. I am not afraid to admit that I have done a LOT of different things, but this one, so far, has eluded me. These adventure seekers have just popped two ecstasy and are washing it down with a shot of J.D. Let the festivities begin.

12. Wrestle a woman in mud. In front of an audience. Half-naked. I’ve always wanted to do that. I don’t know why.

Okay…so I do know why. And lastly, but surely not least, I want to shout out to my dear friend Eric of Clown on Fire fame as he celebrated a birthday yesterday. If you haven’t been to his circus yet, I suggest you conform and kiss his Magnificence’s (TM) feet while he still allows humans to touch him. Bonne Fête mon ami.

What are some of the things on YOUR bucket list that have withstood the test of time? Any of them the same as the 12 I listed? Let me know in the comment section…if you want…or not.
So when is the next plane leaving?
The plane going where? Australia? Africa? Marineland?
Well I am not fussed as long as there is
lol
a nice warm beach when we arrive
And were you planning on joining the mile high club as well?
Not really, I was thinking of chilling out
That’s also a good idea.
That’s a good thing.
That first pic fogged up my glasses!
Yes…it’s quite entertaining, isn’t it?
Swim with dolphins…YES YES YES PLEASE! Ride a horse (crazy that I haven’t right?) Visit all 50 states…or at least step foot in them.
I have a long ass bucket list…I should write it down some time.
You really should, Chrissy. Thanks for visiting!
A koala bear?? Really? A koala?? Well! I have never been so slighted in my life!
I am sorry Binky…if only all wombats were as cute as your little family in Wombania.
Those lousy cute kolas always get all the attention. Real wombats are cute, too!
Isn’t this cute: http://www.wombania.com/wombats/wombat-pictures/common-wombat-photograph.htm
You are right Binky…they ARE cute.
Especially the female ones!
Bucket list item #1. Create bucket list.
Bucket list item #2. Throw it away and enjoy life while I can.
Good for you twindaddy.
Eh, it’s worked so far. There have been bumps in the road, but I mainly do whatever makes me happy. Life’s too short not to.
Exactly what I’ve been doing. Right now I am happier than I’ve been for a very long time. I felt a little guilty at first (natural) but not anymore.
Nothing to feel guilty about at all.
I never said what I was doing that was making me happy…
My lips are seeled.
I was going to make reference to mine and then I thought it might be more interesting if you just used your imagination.
Already done. And it was great.
Let me tell you, Wendy, the men at the magic conference I recently attended would have been all over you. That first mud wrestling picture alone would have put them into cardiac rest.
I can honestly say none of these things are on my list (well, I could be persuaded by #7 as long as we’re talking Daniel Craig and not Steve Buscemi or Tom Petty), so I guess that makes me pretty boring. I have always wanted to attend the Macy’s parade in New York some thanksgiving, and I want to make it to Australia some day. Other than that, I’ll leave the wild stuff to you.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go take a shower. Oy vey…
hehehe…I love that my naughtier posts have that effect on you. My job here is done.
And it’s a job well done!
Thank you Carebear. xo
Hang gliding is really one of the greatest, most peaceful, and flight-like things I’ve ever done. You must do it. I have been to Australia, and I hear that though Koalas are cute, they have razor sharp claws and don’t take to cuddles…but I’d love to see you prove me wrong on that. I’d really enjoy the Great Barrier Reef before it’s gone…
I’d also like to write a graphic novel.
As for all things Le Clown…..CHECK!
I heard the same about koalas. Maybe they drug them before they let anyone hold them. A couple of E should do it. I could see you doing the novel. You really should.
Sadly, I’ve only accomplished #1 and #2 on your list, but #7 is next. I can feel it. Well, I can at least visualize it. Or fantasize it. Something like that.
Fun post, as always Wendy. =)
Glad you enjoyed it Staciegirl and you’re a couple of steps ahead of me.
I really want to do #8 and #9 from your list. And I like your #12! I’ll be rooting for you if you ever do it
Why thank you MissFourEyes.
Learn a foreign language is on my bucket list and I am attempting to do that. It isn’t coming easy for me. I work at it but my memory isn’t what it used to be and my brain freezes when i try to speak and my Studio tutor is not very patient and I often don’t understand her and wish I had my old studio teacher back.
Sorry you’re having such a hard time of it. I wish you the best.
I will not tell you which ones I have done on your list, a few. I think adding the safari would be good. Mud, no don’t like mud.
As for celebs, can’t see it sorry.
Great list though overall.
I know that everyone can’t possibly want to do the same things because we all have different tastes (thankfully). And you’ve done some of these already? The orgy perhaps? Do tell….:-P
To private a person for orgy attending or telling after.
New York on New Years, done that
Swimming with Dolphins, done that. Swam with Mantas also, that was cool.
Knew a few celebs back in the day, which is why I don’t think they are all that. No not telling.
Belong to a few clubs, yes even that one.
Woohoo! You go girl!
Wendy, that’s a good solid list. I’d love to go to the barrier reef and the dolphins would be fun. I’m going to skip on the hang gliding though, and the mud, not a fan! But, if you really want that, I know you could make that one happen!
There doesn’t seem to be any places here that cater to that. I’m really surprised because Quebec is known it’s strip clubs. It’s not like the city is run by nuns…so I’m not sure how I’m going to pull that one off…unless I just get drunk one night and find myself a kiddie pool and an unsuspecting partner.
I really want to do the safari and great barrier reef as well! The pictures from both are breathtaking.
I know, right? I have to go to Australia…just once. My dad and his gf went a few years ago and loved it, except for the flies. My dad says when you go on one of the tours through the more wild terrain, there are too many flies. That might annoy the hell out of me.
I have done a few of these
Not so much into mud, but oil is niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.
