I've always enjoyed the movie "The Bucket List" starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. I don't know why, being as young as I'am. One would think it is weird to be thinking about what I want to do before I die, when I have my whole life ahead of me. Which one never know how long his or hers "whole life" may actually be. So what i'm going to do is write a short, but thought out list of activities I would like to do before I die. Feel free to enter your own list or elaborate on the whole idea of a bucket list. This is all hypothetical and under the condition that I have been given a good estimate of my death, but not an exact.

1. Go skydiving
2. Go bungee jumping
3. Hang gliding
4. Volunteer helping the needy
5. Shoot a M2 machine gun, what can I say i'm a guy
6. Drive a car extremley fast
7. See the Angel Falls
8. Go see a red fox panda in the wild
9. Emerse myself in a culture completley opposite of my own
10. Visit the Great Wall of China

That's all I could think of off the top of my head. These are all actually a real possibility for me and I beleive that's how a bucket list should be written.
 
I don't its weird to think about it. The top three I want to do is, I want to go skydiving, bungee jumping, and probably the biggest for me is to live in Japan for atty least a couple years.
I also want to travel to China, South Korea, Italy, England, and many more places
 
Most bucket lists include things that could cause you to kick the bucket.
 
I want to visit some of the big cutlery cities-

Seki City, Japan
Sheffield, England
Solingen, Germany
 
I want to...

-go base jumping (couldn't bring myself to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, but maybe a cliff would be easier)
-Hike the full length of the Appalachian Trail
-Drive the section of road in Ansel Adams' picture "Road, Nevada Desert"
-Take a lap in an original 289 Cobra
-Shoot a ww2 vintage Thompson smg.
-See Omaha beach with my own eyes
 
Here is mine, at least what I can think of at the moment:
-Visit all 50 states (only 2 more to go)
-Visit all 6 continents
-Drive 200+ mph in a car
-Own a car from each of the last six decades (only 3 more to go)
-Own a vacation/retirement home in Florida
-Hike the Appalachian Trail
 
My last, lifetime epic 'slam door' camp trip ... following, as best as I am able from present location, Sanford Fleming's expedition through Canada in 1872 ... as told in a 'simple diary, written as journeyed' by George M. Grant and titled "Ocean to Ocean"

I would have to leave all security of hearth and home behind, give it all up with no return ..... and yet, the prospect seems more appealing with every passing day.
 
10 years since I posted this!

That book is in storage with what little else kept. We are 2,015 km west then north of our starting point 'gypsy-ing' our way on our epic, last roadtrip ... and yes this is one heck of a slam door camp trip ... self contained, self sufficient SUV, Just Daisy and me with a small sign that says ... Home is Where My Dog Is. Paw Shaped 🐾

Yesterday we stopped at the longitudinal centre of Canada 😁

I can help you achieve these simple and reasonable goals:

4. That one is easy. Just look at the websites of local churches and charities, they're ALWAYS looking for volunteers.

6. Find a V8 from the 80s or 90s (before speed limiters) at a used car dealership, take it for a test drive on the freeway outside of rush hour. If you get pulled over be very polite, they will usually reduce the speed by a lot... then the DA will let you plead to something even lower. Once I got pulled over for doing about 140 in a 55... the trooper wrote me a ticket for 79... DA reduced it to "failure to obey a sign." lol

9. This one is actually far more dangerous than hang gliding or bungee jumping... go to the nearest city on a Saturday night... find a nightclub holding a "Latin night" or "Hip Hop night." Dress very well and when people approach you in a confrontational manner, bring them to the bar and order them a round of tequila shots. If you'd like a somewhat safer environment, go to a tavern popular with outlaw bikers instead.
 
😂. Yes I kind of figured it was a different midget on your bucket list. I hope you achieve your goal with a friendly beautiful happy one.
