My Bucket List....not really but read it.

I was bored a day ago, had a golden ticket to a movie, and decided to check out "The Bucket List".
When your given 6 months to live, what would you do before you kick the bucket?

Which leads me into my blog......


If you could know the exact day you would die, would you want to know?
You should dream like you'll live forever, but live like your dieing today.
We all wish we did more 10 years ago, shit I wish I did more 2 years ago. When I'm in my 40's I wonder how I'll evaluate my years? And how will I go about the next 20 or so years?

re·gret --to feel sorrow or remorse for (an act, fault, disappointment, etc.), to think of with a sense of loss,

"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us."- Alexander Graham Bell

"Make the most of your regrets. . . . To regret deeply is to live afresh."- Henry David Thoreau

"Fear not for the future, weep not for the past."- Percy Bysshe Shelley

"Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only for wallowing in."-Katherine Mansfield

I put these quotes here because we all have regrets, we all are scared of the future. In the movie Morgan Freeman could not do all that he wanted because early in college he got his girlfriend pregnant. He spent 40 some odd years under a hood providing for his wife an children. When given the expected time left to live he creates a "bucket list, a list of things to do before I kick the bucket".

This is how I live my life.

  • Make Victor Happy
  • Do not hurt other people
  • Be honest
  • Do what I want to do for myself and not for anyone else
  • If given an opportunity take it
  • Jump at rare events
  • Laugh at everything
  • Live day by day
  • Understand the consequences
  • Don't hold back
  • Love those that love you back
  • Learn from mistakes
  • Live long
  • Try new things
  • Be comfy alone
  • Be there for others
  • Stand up for what I feel, believe, and ought to do
Life is not easy, there are no tricks, or secrets. We are here to live and living means whatever you want. All I want to say is , don't let that bucket list get too long.
