My Bucket List (Updated 07.23.2008)
A life of meetings and commuting. I won’t say that it’s a bad life - it’s actually a great life, but is it the life I thought it would be? Not quite. I’m glad I stayed away from the possibility of being a writer. The money would’ve been great, but the chance of succeeding very low. I should have been a doctor but I think I would not been able to keep up with the logistics of it all. But that is my life, and for what it’s worth, it’s a pretty good one.
With my 27th birthday coming up I’ve decided on a few things. Firstly, I shall not be celebrating any other birthday until I turn 30, then it shall be a big old bash in the land where it all began - Australia. Secondly, at the suggestion of my sister I shall create a “life list”. You know, one of those “bucket lists” of things to do during your lifetime. I’ll keep it short for now and add to it as time progresses. I’ll keep tabs of what I’m doing, if I do it, and report back to you how it all turns out. Read on to see what I have so far.

You should also make a list of things you have experienced/accomplished because it makes you realize that you’ve done a lot of stuff other people haven’t done. I get to cross off Yosemite. W00t! I know you want to add go to a shooting range and see Niagara Falls on your list and take your sister with you…
