You know what this means if you've ever seen the movie
The Bucket List. Starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, this movie tells the story of two terminally ill men who, while strangers at first, become friends over the years and try to accomplish a list of things on their "bucket list", a list of things to do b4 they "kick the bucket". Ever since seeing that movie, it gave me the idea to come up with a bucket list. Here are some of mine, although I've had to change it a few times here and there!
Get a tattoo
-I'm down to deciding on something 1960s or Asian. If it's 1960s, I would like it to be a Peace Frog, sketch of a hippie girl or maybe a VW Microbus. If it's Asian, I would like it to be either a Japanese cherry blossom tree or a geisha girl
Graduate from college
-I feel like such a failure for not graduating college while my sister did. I really want to go for Criminology, doing forensic science like on CSI. Either that, or maybe do something like on Criminal Minds, using psychology to analyze the behavior of what makes someone a serial killer or rapist. but I'm bound and determined to go to school for this stuff. Then I'm out of the crap job I'm in, where I have to fight for even one day off!
Meet someone famous
-This list is too long! I'd love to meet:
Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) because: if it weren't for hearing Paranoid by them on a local heavy metal station, I'd never be fans of this band. Not to mention, after reading that book by him, he seems like a generally sweethearted guy. Plus, you gotta respect the guy; he overcame the loss of two of his fingers, making him think he's never play guitar. But now he's playing, beating the odds! Awesome!
Paul Stanley (Kiss). Yeah, I think he's cute, blah blah blah, but also a good musician. He seems like the kind of guy who does not like to put himself out there, like if he can avoid getting into the newspapers or gossip mags, he does.
Kate Winslet. She's always been my favorite actress. She's smart, beautiful and just a good actress.
Maggie Smith. Everyone knows her as Professor Minerva McGonagall in the
Harry Potter series. When I look at her, I honestly can't believe she's still acting. She's smart, funny when she needs to be, and actually very beautiful for her age. I especially loved her in
Keeping Mum; she was hilarious in there!
Sharon Osbourne: in addition to being very beautiful for her age, she's funny, sarcastic and just plain awesome! How many other women can you name who could say they're the wife of "The Prince of Darkness?"

Get my license to drive
-Ooooooh, I'm so close to this I can taste it, mooooohahahahahahahahahahaha!
Travel to England, Japan, Australia. Italy
-The cultures of these countries is what draws me to them. Not to mention such sexy guys, lol. I swear, I'm not sure what is making English guys sexy, but good God! There's some real hotties coming from there ;) Plus, the local sights in these countries. I'd love to see a football game in England; hopefully the Tottenham Hotspurs will be playing, either them or Arsenal

Learn to read, write, speak Chinese, Japanese, German, Russian and Italian
-After learning Spanish in high school, this sort of started a fascination with other languages and the cultures associated with them, although my mom says I want to learn all the "hard to learn" languages
 |
| Chinese |
 |
| German |
 |
| Italian, obviously, lol! |

| Japanese |

| Russian |
Have a slight cosmetic surgery
-I have this small mole on my arm that I sometimes worry about when laying out in the sun; I honestly don't want skin cancer and I worry about that. So I'd love to have it removed
Fall in love
-Sometimes I think this will never be possible. Sometimes comprehension kicks in and makes me think "Who would ever love someone like me?" Sure my family loves me, but then again, aren't they supposed to?
Write a book
-I know this sounds stupid, but I think this would be interesting
Go rock climbing
-I think this is cool. But I'm not sure what I'd do about my lungs; I've had asthma since I was 16 and plus, living with a smoker for the first 20 years of my life has probably turned my lungs as yellow as a sunflower or black as Ronnie Wood's hair
Go to a concert for the following people:
Aerosmith
-These guys are awesome!! I'm surprised that people haven't started calling them "The Boston Bad Boys" because of how they're supposedly like The Stones. These guys make some good hard rock, but if they had to have a name, I'm pretty sure it would be something like "The Bad Boys of Boston" or something!
The Rolling Stones
-These guys rock! I saw a concert last night of one of their shows from 2013, in Hyde Park. They played "Jumpin' Jack Flash". It still amazes me that, at 70 years old, Mick Jagger is still strutting stages, belting out those songs. Those guys are all in their 60s and 70s and they're still rocking? Amazing!!
Black Sabbath
-This one is kinda new! Ever since hearing "Paranoid", I've been thinking about and hoping to go see these guys
Judas Priest
-These guys were my first favorite true metal band. These guys are not the glam metal of the 1980s; no these guys are true, all out power metal, the kind of music people dubbed "headbangers" listen to! And plus, how can you honestly argue with a band whose singer rides out onto the stage on a pitch black Harley Davidson?
Kiss
-Yup, gotta see these guys! In addition to their music blowing the minds of its fans, you get an additional show when their bass player, Gene Simmons, shoots a fireball into the air, or when their rhythm guitarist, Paul Stanley, smashes his guitar Pete Townshend-style, when their lead guitarist, Tommy Thayer now, plays a guitar that starts smoking, or when their new drummer, Eric Singer, is up there on his riser, playing drums and it suddenly starts rising/levitating
Bad Company
-"Shooting Star". It all started with that song! For me, all it takes is one good song and I'm hooked on the music. I would love to see these guys put on a concert. I mean, how can you honestly doubt their music or ability of putting on a good concert? Plus, at whatever age he's at now, Paul Rodgers somehow still makes wearing leather pants look good!
