This is my bucket list. What's yours?

1. Finish college. And to do so without dying from a drug overdose or alcohol poisoning.

2. Appreciate the beautiful things in life. The mometary sentinments that settle in my brain from time to time. Smile, remember & savour every little detail that is being pushed forward out of my brain and into that flash of light where my nostalgia resides. It's such a wonderful thing.

3. Ride bicycles on the Island with friends. I know it sounds childish and simple. But I do not have a bicycle, I have some friends that are willing to do it & Dauphin Island is one of the most beautiful places around here. Especially the West End of the Island. And the ride through Dauphin Island Parkway, the area by Bellingrath, the aligator marshland & that huge bridge where you can see bits and pieces of land underwater during high tide and visible during low tide.

4. Spend a year of travel in Europe. I want to visit all of these countries: Iceland, Ireland, United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Romania, Greece, Turkey, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Bosnia, Hungary, Russia, Luxembourg, Estonia, Lativa, Lithuania, Kaliningrad, Albania, Republic of Macedonia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Croatia, Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Italy, Serbia, Moldova & Ukraine. Yes, ma'am. I want to spend at least two weeks in each one of these countries. Maybe longer, if I'm up to it.

5. Have at least two children, a co-ed pair. Both, a girl and a boy. For a girl, I like the names Jaco Moonjava & Lucy Darjeeling. For a boy, I like the names Uriah Lennon & Adrian Arija. I know that they are not your everyday names. Every boy is a John, Peter, Dick & Harry. Every girl is a Rachel, Sara, Jennifer & Heather. I would rather not have any kids at all than to name them these horribly mundane names. I am an artist. My kids are not going to be mundane in the slightest. They will be fluent in Spanish & French, as well as English. And they are going to be artists, too.

6. Take a road trip around America. Get a bus, fill it up with my favourite friends, a map and let's go! Let's start in Florida and work our way in diagonals across the States until we end up in Washington. Then from Washington, let's take a plane out to Alaska. And when we get to California, we should take a plane out to Hawaii. I want to visit all 50 States and I want to have a collection of clothing apparrel, shot glasses & coffee mugs from each of the states in America.

7. Take a train across Canada: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Yuka, Northwest Territories, Prince Edward Island, Nunavut & Kalaallit Nunaat ( Greenland-Denmark ).

8. I want to live on a farm. Raise a llama, a pot-bellied pig, chickens, a rooster, horses, goats and ducks. I also want to have my own garden and live off of the land. I won't eat any of my animals, because they will be my companions, my friends, my pets.

9. Go see the gravesites for the 27 Club: Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison & Kurt Cobain. Also, on my own note, if I ever become a musician, I can bet on a few things that I will probably die at the same age they all died at. Why twenty-seven? What is the significance of this? Most people, well most astrologers, blame the phenomenon called The Saturn Return. Saturn takes 29.5 years to orbit around the Sun. When it returns to the exact degree along the ecliptic it occupied at the time of a person's birth this is referred to as their "Saturn Return". So it occurs three times in a measured lifetime; once between the ages of 27-30, once again between the ages of 56-60, and the last one occurs in between 86-88. Hmm, that's interesting.

10. Read over a million books. I know that I can do this. You can, too.

11. Have an art studio, an art gallery, endless amounts of art supplies; preferably living in a studio apartment in Greenwich Village, in New York City. Hold art shows, become famous for it and get rich or die trying. ( Oh, God. I cannot believe I just unconsciously quoted 50 Cent. ) I want to be like Andy Warhol and make indie short-films, join a band that sings about heroin and other drugs, have an in-demand career in Art.

12. Ride with Meggan in her train. This I gotta see. We'll play Bob Dylan, Robert Johnson and Woody Guthrie music. She'll play her banjo, acoustic bass & her harmonica. I'll play my acoustic guitar, tambourine and I'll take a stab at attempting to play the banjo. Because I've always wanted to. Like she's always wanted to be a tain conducter. We'll be hobos.

13. See a solar eclipse.

I'm sure there are many more. But I feel as if I've maxed out my creativity.

 

This was actually a blog that I wrote on my MySpace, back in January.
Copied and pasted.
Some of these, I don't care for much anymore... like the whole Andy Warhol thing.

But I added the thirteenth one today, seeing as how I mentioned it in the "Eclipse in Beijing" thread.

 

Mine:

Make 40
Try Dust
Be in every continent
Go camping with psychedelics
Put some piece of art out there in the world [book, movie, music], interested in all 3 actually
Move out of parents house
Graduate college

Oh, hi, hello, Heather!
I apologize. Mundane isn't really an insult, it's just means "normal".
Lmao. I know like twenty different Heather's.
I want my kids to have original, artsy, bohemian names.


Ahhh... I'm vain. Vain for my seed, apparently.

Horrible names have an h on the end of them.
Sara is beautiful. Sarah is mundane.
Lea is beautiful. Leah is mundane.

Sometimes... names can define people.
We are definitely not mundane.
We're pretty girls.

 

lmao. i have a friend named leah.. she is horrible and mundane herself :tongue:

and no we are definitely not mundane!

 

I know... there must be a curse on names that end in h.
It never fails. All the other Leah's that I know, they're lame.
But I'm not!

8. Write a book
9. Backpack the Appalachian Trail with Adam and Laurie
10. Get a farm house in VT. Make lots of kids, grow as much food as we can, have chickens and goats and cows. Live as much as we can off of the land

 

I have a masters, so I want to do a Phd and come up with some new weird shit and publish a book about it (dont give a damn if it doesnt sell)

Make my own speakers and amplifiers and install them at home and the car, in the car atleast 8"drivers in the front.

Travel around the world on a bike,alone.

Have a huge farm with atleast 10-15 kids and homeschool them.

Brew some awesome beer and spread the cheer among friends and family.

If not buy atleast rent out supercars like the lambo lp640, or the ferrari 599gtb or a bugatti veyroni and rip them for a week.

Wheelie on a sportsbike like the 1400r at 150mph.

 

Urbro, if you don't mind me asking, what are your reasons for wanting to home school your kids ?

 

what do they teach in a school? I wouldnt want them just to limit to what they can learn and what they cannot!! Education is to be more holistic and thought provoking and not force things down kids.

I would not want them to be part of the rat race, I would be happy if they just farm and brew beer.
