Bucket list

Oh herro. This is one of those times I use the blog to keep track of shit. In this edition, its consolidating the dozen or so scraps of papers, dogtagged pages in books, and drunken plans to defect to Canada that chronicle what I want to do in my life. With everything scattered hitherto and witherto, I end up going on trips, like Montreal this winter, or Georgia in the Spring, or possibly Arizona next summer and coming back to realize I missed something I wanted to do.
So I'm going to list all the things here, of places I want to go, what I want to do there, and what strange cuisine I'll end up shoving in my mouth. Like visiting the Vatican and eating a chicken nugget that looks like Jesus in front of them, who knows.
If I do say so myself, my list is a lot more exciting then most. I have googled a fair number of 'bucket lists' in my day and they generally fall into two categories: The first being that of a boring fuck with no imagination, who quotes the same bullshit of "I want to see a sunset" or"I want to fall in love...on the eiffel tower ;) ;)" (two winky faces to show how silly and daring they are, of course) or "I want to list as much cliche shit as possible".
The second type, is the guy who mistakes a bucket list with a "I want a pony" list. I'm sorry kid, but being the first to have the Alien as a pet probably isn't going your way. ("Its called a warrior xenomorph of the 3rd generation after the events in movie one, asshole" breathes the person who is clearly sitting too close to me in class.) And if you're gonna pretend its not, so is "Have a girlfriend" most likely.
But my list, is pretty effing rad. And I am going to do it all. And when I get to the end and finish the last item...oh man. Though honestly, I'm probably never going to finish. Because you always add more shit as you get older, if you actually did everything and felt you had nothing else to do with your life.. well wtf?
 Green indicates shit I've done. Let's go. Shit. I feel like I have said that a lot.
