Hmmmmm

So, katakanadian  posted a little video about a group of guys doing their bucket list, and it got me thinking.  What do I want to do before I die?  A lot of times recently it feels as though I have no direction, that a good wind will blow me whichever direction the world wants me.  I haven't felt really - I don't know, worthy? - to have ambition.  But this whole Hire Me thing for the TV has got me thinking.  What do I want?  What do I want to do with my life, to make a difference?  I felt it once, in the Army, when I knew that even if we did the same shit every day, it was toward a goal, that it was worth doing because the bigger picture held a place for all of us.  

But I've been drifting so long now I think I forgot what it was like to dream, to have wishes and to want to do something!  So I made the beginnings of my own bucket list, and although a lot of the items are large and life changing, it's also giving me something to think about when I forget look around me and remember that there is more to life than sitting in my living room watching TV.  

Therefore, before I lose my courage or the impetous to dream some more, I present to you my bucket list, a work in progress for a hopefully long time.  


-Own a house
-Learn to fly an airplane
-Ride a motorcycle
-Publish a book
-Go to Australia, Egypt and NZ
-Adopt
-Get another tattoo
-Teach English in a different country
-Get my Ph.D
-Buy brand new furniture, just for myself


What are your dreams?   Make sure you don't forget them, like I nearly did.
