Your 'Bucket List' / 10 Things To Do Before You Die

[parttime crackhead]

Good thread man. I'm kind of still out from Friday night so I'll add more to this when I get up the road but the main one for me is drive from New York to LA via Vegas. The Fear & Loathing style drive into Vegas would be incredible.

Trust Issy to come in and spoil things. You can never play along, always got to analyse and find fault.

I dunno spade, I catch your drift and I suppose it is nice to have a few nice holidays but I think when you're old you'll be thinking about laughs you had with your parents or other loved ones who arn't around anymore.

It's not about holidays. It's 10 things you'd like to do before you die, can be anything doesn't have to be travel related at all, just happens that most of mines are. It's not a serious topic so don't take it as one. 8)

It's a bit of a consumerist notion of life too. What do you do if you havn't got much money? Regret the fact you never got to go round the world on a yacht forever? Not to mention the carbon footprint you're leaving with all this travelling.

It doesn't have to be about money either, can be as simple as climbing a mountain, sleeping under the stars, swimming in the sea, running a marathon. Whatever you like.

So instead of whinging how about you tell us some things you like to see / do / achieve before you pop your clogs Issy?

See the Northern lights, guess that could happen in Norway.

I want to see the aurora borealis

Me three. For ages I've wanted to do this.

be contented - which I'm well on my way to achieving

Not to be underestimated. Nice one Kate.

I can recommend tubing in Laos. On opium. And seeing Macchu Piccu (best 'thing' I have ever done). And Angkor Wat. And the southern tip of South America. That's another world.

Oh and seeing a total eclipse. Cornwall 1999. Brilliant day. I'd like to see another. In Mauritius maybe.

 

[TheSpade]

Looking forward to MP a lot, I've wanted to see that since I was a kid with a Michael Palin book. Angkor Wat was pretty immense, definitely worth anyone checking out. Lucky it's still standing really what with the Khmer Rouge.

I was going to watch this film after I turned it on half way through the other night, turned it off to watch properly from the beginning.

After making the mistake of reading the first post, I might aswell not bother now.

 

[TheSpade]

Don't be silly you can still watch and enjoy the film.

Anyway tell us whats on your bucket list?

 

[jabbajosh]

Get a physectomy
Learn to back flip

That's it.

 

[parttime crackhead]

Learn to back flip

That's something I want to learn as well. Well, not a proper backflip but the one where you sort of run up a wall & do a backflip. For some reason I've always been choking to do that.

 

[jabbajosh]

Yeh init. How sweet would it be to just crack out a backflip during an awkward silence.

 

[TheSpade]

That would be immense like. :D

 

[jabbajosh]

'like'? humouring my 'init' are you?

 

[cherrycolouredfunk]

^ Nah, he's not humouring you, he's just Scottish.

 

[TheSpade]

'like'? humouring my 'init' are you?

Don't flatter yourself.

I want to try 2c-b

The main thing i want to do is master the art of growing cannabis, that would make me so happy i cant even explain. Its my main goal in life.

I would also like to be at peace with myself, something i am working on now.

Not very ambitious i know, but whatever makes you happy right?


I would like to travel but it's a bit of a problem for me, if there are no drugs readily available then its not worth going, i would just be a total miserable cunt for the duration of my stay and i am not confident enough to go around asking people on the street to help me out.

 

[jabbajosh]

don't flatter yourself.

 

[Jabberwocky]

really cool thread!!

as already mentioned, tubing in Laos.
east coast(-ish) tour of america, starting in boston ending in gainesville florida for a festival called 'the fest'

really not sure what else!
