He's making a list of 100 things he'd like to do before he dies. Some easy to accomplish (#9), some not (#6, just kidding Tom.) I think it's a great way to encourage yourself to get off your butt and actually do something, and me being the lazy ass that I am, could use something like that. So here we go, Mike's bucket list; 100 things to do before I die . . . If anyone has any suggestions I could really use a few, Tom, I'm probably gonna steal a few of yours.<br /><br />1: See my name on the big screen. I've worked on a Mexican feature, but noting in English yet.<br /><br />2: Install solar panels on our house.<br /><br />3: Get a good camera, and learn to take good photos. I love photography, but I have to say I've got a LOT to learn.<br /><br />4: Become a Dad.<br /><br />5: Post 356 consecutive days on my <a href="http://grandiloquencephoto.blogspot.com/">photoblog</a>. (I'm up to day 5 folks!)<br /><br />6: Move back to Nova Scotia.<br /><br />7: Own a Jack Russel named Rudder. I told Robin that when I retire this WILL happen, she hates little high energy dogs.<br /><br />8: Set foot in every province. I've got Newfoundland, Manitoba, and B.C. left to go.<br /><br />9: See a real live bear, not in a zoo.<br /><br />10: Go to the Galapagos Islands.<br /><br />11: Learn to speak another language. So far I can say "no I'm not American" in Cantonese, and "I'm sorry I don't speak french, can you speak English?" and "Would you like to go for a drink sometime?" in French.<br /><br />12: Have a bad movie marathon. I love that one Tom! Once we're back east we'll come for a visit!<br /><br />13: Donate blood. Another one of Tom's. Great Idea, I too am afraid of needles.<br /><br />14: Learn to paint.<br /><br />15: Own a hybrid or alternative fuel source vehicle.<br /><br />16: Visit the Okanagan Valley, and go on a wine tour.<br /><br />17: Stop saying "Fer" instead of "For." Man that annoys me.<br /><br />18: Get 100 items for my bucket list.<br /><br />19: Build something useful out of wood, like a house or even a chair.<br /><br />20: Learn to cook one decent fish dish. I can not cook fish.<br /><br />21: Own a copy of every Terry Gilliam and Coen Bros. movies.<br /><br />22: Finish reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Young man. I've started it 2 or 3 times now, but never finished. To tell the truth, I think it's a bit beyond my reading level. Maybe I should stick to the Cat in the Hat.<br /><br />23: Sell a piece of art. My own art.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3067898169637557437-3574058053674791574?l=gluttonforpunishmentbucketlist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ShittyShitLipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02023105595139195219noreply@blogger.com2
