The Bucket List

One of the most expansive bucket lists I have come across.

‘The Bucket List.’
‘Things to do before you die.’

An old craze that appears to have been resurrected, as seen by the brilliant ‘An Idiot Abroad 2.”

After stumbling across a few lists others have orchestrated, it got me thinking.

So here’s 27 (there’s no way I could come up with 101! But I’ll keep adding things every so often) things I want to do before I die.

1. Visit America 16.05.2012 – 24.05.2012
    Viva Las Vegas! I ticked number one off my bucket list in May 2012 when flying over to Sin City for Spencer & Rachel’s ‘Fabulous’ Elvis inspired wedding! Well That’s Nevada ticked off the 52 states list anyway!
   
   
2. Set foot on every continent
3. Have the confidence to actually write some comedy material
4. Have the confidence to actually stand on a stage and perform some stand up
5. Become a internationally known successful comedian
6. Come out of the casino having actually WON some money
7. Re-learn the guitar
8. Be in a TV show audience
9. Run a half-marathon 17.03.2013
   Warwick hosted it’s first ever half marathon event in March 2013 and in order to cross an item off my bucket list, stupidly I signed up. My main targets were; 1) not to die and 2) actually finish. I can safely say I completed both of these targets and even surpassed the second by finishing in under two hours (1 hour 52 minutes and 15 seconds to be exact!) I’m so stupid I’ve signed up to do it again in March 2014!
10. Run a full-marathon
11. Get fit
12. Check Facebook no more than twice a day
13. Tie a secret to a balloon and let it go
14. Go to the World Cup (and preferably see England win it)
15. Become a fashion hairstyle icon like David Beckham
16. Bury a time capsule
17. Do 100 press ups in one go
18. Do 100 sit ups in one go
19. Get a six-pack
20. Visit Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (again; this time getting a photo)
21. Bungee jump
22. Enter and win a competition
23. Go to Stonehenge
24. Shake hands with the President of the United States
25. Visit all 50 States in America
     States I have visited: Nevada. Only 49 to go!
26. Be an extra in a movie
27. Learn Spanish.
    Ok, so this is a bit of a weird one. I learnt Spanish in Year 6 at primary school , but now my understanding of the language is ‘Hola!’ I think it’s time to start learning again!
