Some of you are probably familiar with the concept of a “bucket list,” but if you aren’t, I’ll explain. Essentially, it is a list of things one wants to see, do, accomplish, etc. before they die (or “kick the bucket,” hence the name).
Recently, I decided to sit down and update my list. The old one contained a few things that have either happened, or can’t happen. For instance: marry a great guy (done!), have a child (done!)… meet Michael Jackson, or at least see him in person (I missed out on that one).
So, here is my current bucket list…
- Save a stranger’s life (I’m an organ donor, so this will more likely be accomplished after I die).
- Celebrate New Year’s Eve in Times Square (New York City) at least once.
- Visit Graceland (Elvis’ home in Memphis, Tennessee).
- Visit Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (long story).
- Become fluent in at least one other language. That’s “other” if you consider me fluent in English.
- Learn to play an instrument (well).
- Record an album (one that would actually be available for purchase).
- Travel to Italy.
- See the great pyramids in Egypt.
- Sing with Color Me Badd. – That one sort of happened in 1998, if you count Mark, Kevin and I all singing along to a song playing in a club.
It was “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” by Sly & the Family Stone, by the way.
This song right here.
- Work with Sam Watters as a writer, recording artist, or both. If that could be combined with the item above, that would be ideal.
- Interview the people on my “interview bucket list.”
- Write and publish a book.
- Attend at least one Comic-Con (San Diego or New York City, preferably).
