The Bucket List

Seeing as the big three-oh (30th bday) is upon me, my mortality has begun to hit me a bit. Having a birthday later in the year, I get to see how it all hit my friends first. The common theme amongst them all was the bucket list. 30 seems a bit young to have a bucket list, but my friend Neal made a good point. If you write it down, then you're closer committing to it, otherwise it'll never happen.

Is this a commentary on our thought of perhaps time is "running out"? I suppose at best, 1/3 of my life is already over, and the last third is pretty limiting! When you put it in those terms,  I better make the best of the next 1/3.

Okay, if I'm making a bucket list, I want it to be real and meaningful, not full of garbage. For instance on one person's list was to shoot a machine gun. I really don't think that's a fulfilling goal for anybody.

Say hello to my little friend...not so much
