Before we kick the bucket, some make a list of items they'd like to do.

Sort of a check list in life before we kick the bucket.

What say you.

I would like to make a uni-tour bus and go around the UK meeting new people and riding in new places, as well as promoting the sport and generally being stupid!
Oh and I'd also like to design and build my own home! and have a uni park in my garden!!
To be honest i have no intention of growing up, quiting unicycling or getting old, but thats inevitable, so ill follow in Terry's footsteps:D

My Bucket list was:

become a sushi chef (I have gotten farther on that than I ever thought I would and now I'm ready to stop)
Visit Japan (July 15th done)
Visit Taipei (did it in March)
Go on a unitour (again in March)
Go to Unicon (in July)

Those are all of the biggest goals I have had, at least that I'm willing to share.

I will have accomplished all those by the end of the summer and I have already accomplished all of my other ones more or less.

Now I'm trying to come up with a new bucket list, but its more of just like a list of things to do in the next year or two.

Pay off my debt as well as my parents Line Of Credit.
Decide what kind of career I want.
Enroll in a university.
Get a first place in some kind of unicycle event.



There isn't really anything in my life after this summer that I think I really need to do before I die, but there are things I wouldn't mind doing. All the urgent ones I'm getting done ASAP.

There are so many things I want to do in life that I couldn't possibly write them all in one small post. Im sure that in the future there will be things I want to do that I would not even think of at this point in my life.

I just want to live life and take things as they come. There will be good times and bad times. Ill look forward to the good ones.

Some items on our lists (The Bucket List) will be completed and we tend to take those items for granted.

Like
Getting married and having kids.
Riding an motorcycle, bicycle, unicycle.
Flying (Plane, hang glider, parachute)
Travel some place special.

My list also includes stuff that I probably never will acheive but its there...
Doing something extraordinary (Climb mountain, space travel, etc)
Win Lottary jackpot amount greater than 1 Million dollars :)

We do need to plan for some stuff to happen in our lives but straying off the beaten path provides new discoveries (so add more items as you go)

Use your imagination, create a list and keep track of it in the back of your mind.

A bucket list can help!

What say you.

I've been to Rome, seen the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel; been to Athens, been to the Acropolis, walked and shopped the Monistraki, been to Budapest and seen the Chain Bridge, seen the waterway wonders of Amsterdam, been bewildered by London's crazy road-scape, been scared by Tangier, Fes and Marrakesh, fell in love with Lake Como and Bellagio, and totally loved Portugal. (3 weeks,a total circuit of the country.)

I plan on seeing OZ, NZ, China, India, and West Africa before its all over. Bucket Club. Is this a deep thread?

Hey,
Glad you enjoy.

... visit California
Well if you ever do, let's meet for a MUni ride!

Oh, and about your sig, howabout, say no to crime *and* stick to the speed limit. :) But yeah, I'll have to try that if somebody ever tries to rob me at gunpoint. I'll just say "no!". Yeah, that should do it, lol.;)

1) Geezer, you would have to go really slow, otherwise you will lose me. :) When everybody stops to play on rocks and logs, I stand around catching my breath.

2) My sig is fixed (added a colon for clarity). And LOL, it's not like the say-no-to-drugs thing. You can't just say "no" to a criminal. Chances are, they won't listen to you. :)

"Give me your wallet."

"No."

Bang!

I've thought of another few
-visit a couple places in america
-go to australia
-write bob after the sponge bit (spongebob) on a triton, then make the star into patric!
-make my own uni (or atleast the frame)
-go bunjee jumping
-go to north wales, take a kayak, muni and camping stuff. And then go exploring randomly.
-do kite buggying!

i probably have more, but i cant think of any at the moment.

Work my way through hot chicks in every state, and then "work" my way around the World.. As long as we're talking bucket lists, you guys can spend your time bungee jumping or milking cows.. Not me.

Halleluja!!!!



Heres my list;

1. Make an incredible unicycle DVD that someday becomes mainstream and is sold all over the world in your everyday video stores.

2. Win a future unicon street competiton

3. To find an anti-persperant that actually works

4. To get a house/flat/box that isnt too shit but dosn't cost too much

5. To get a part time job that I can live off of and still have plenty of spare time to uni

6. To meet everyone I've talked to on these forums. By traveling the world and contributing to #1.

For the last few years my focus has been upon getting a job as a clinical psychologist (and doing all the training etc needed). I've almost accomplished that, I've got the job I just need to hand in my thesis (on June 23rd) and finish the training course. I don't know what I want to set as a goal next.

Generally my bucket list would be to keep all my balls in the air. To balance the many commitments that I have without feeling like I've let anybody down. As well as spending plenty of time having fun. To have no regrets.

At the moment I can't think of anything specific that I would really like to do before I die. Although I probably don't visit my parents as often as I should.
