Just in case someone out there is unaware of what a bucket list is, it is a list of things you want to do before you.... "kick the bucket". Sure, death can be a morbid subject if you make it, but there is a feeling of hope that comes from writing these lists. They let you know what you find important in your life, and help you focus to achieve those goals. So here goes my bucket list!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Visit the Pyramids of Giza and other Various Egyptian Sites
In previous posts i do believe that I've mentioned a thing or two about my love of all things Egyptian. In fact, one time I corrected a tour guide on how to pronounce the name of the Egyptian mythological beast, the Uajet (wad-jet). Needless to say, I shamed him in front of a bunch of museum-goers.
The thing is, I only have a theoretical knowledge of these places. I've never been able to actually see them, and the Great Pyramids are a must, right before the Temple of Ramses II.
Live a Year of Bohemia in Italy
I know that most people's perfect idea of a vacation to Italy is not one of unconventional living. However, there is a certain artistry to the bohemian lifestyle. People who follow this idea realize that art, love, and peace are some of the main drives in live. They don't care much for material things, wealth, or even organization. This is such a romantic concept and is VERY appealing to me. I'd give up my car, computer, and almost anything else to live such a free life, and what place better to do it than old towns of Italy?
Build My Underground Home... Hobbit Style
That's right! I'm going to live in a giant hole in the ground. I've already made up my mind... and the schematics. so this WILL happen one day. Tim already knows about it, and he's willing to accept the life of a mole, ha ha. No really, the house will looke somewhat similar to this on the outside:
And this on the inside:
Have a Romantic Dinner in Paris
Let's face it the two most romantic things in the world are kisses in the rain and the night lights of Paris.
Of course, most people dream of falling in love here. I, on the other hand, have already fallen. However, it's always been a dream of mine to walk those streets at night with my significant other.
Perhaps well even pretend it was our first encounter ha ha.
Publish a Book
This is perhaps the most simple of all the listed items, but it is a dream of mine. I want to be a published author, (and not have to pay to do it, ha ha). I want to write something ground breaking. In fact, that's a major drive of mine. So, hopefully, one day, I'll finish writing my novel and it will be accepted with open arms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The list goes on and on, and I've yet to put it into words yet, but these are the absolute basics. Perhaps I'll write some more of my dreams on another post when the muse hits me. Till then, peace!
Naw the paris one made me soo dreamy for a minute there.
ReplyDeleteAnd i love reading your blog so I would highly anticipate a novel!!
If you want to bounce ideas off someone feel free to contact me via email :)
xoxox
I expect an autographed copy of that book when you publish it. :)
ReplyDeleteThe underground home bit made me laugh - that would be fascinating!
I'm fascinated by all things Egyptian, too - mostly because my first love was/is Egyptian.
