Bucket List (dun dun dun...)

Well, blogging has certainly proven to be exactly what I feared: ADDICTING.  I'd like to openly congratulate myself on successfully finding another distraction!  A+!  I'm also feeling this light purple color... it reminds me of the color I thought my wall paint would be in my bedroom... It came out closer to this one, though!

Either way, I decided to finally put my tentative (and ever growing) bucket list into words... although I'm positive that I'll find all kinds of crazy things to complete before they're added, as usual, what's life without goals?  Anyway, here goes...

• Attend a Michael Jackson concert (obviously a bit late for that one, but I had to say it... ::sniffle::)
• Visit the "Big Cat Encounters" sanctuary in Nevada... check out bigcatencounters.org.  (side note: it says that it's reserved for VIP types only... I think anyone who'll pay the $500 for one hour is enough of a VIP, buddy...)
• Sky-dive... without someone strapped to my back.  This means that I'll have to do it a few times in order to get to that point, but I've got to do what it takes.
• Visit every continent.  However, I'm willing to forgo Antarctica, and just see more of Europe and Asia as a result.
• Visit more than half of the United States... since many states have little to nothing to see, I'll settle for the interesting ones... (I mean, c'mon... Montana?) As long as there's one in each region, I'm satisfied.
• Fly... as often as possible, and in as many ways as possible.  I didn't waste countless childhood wishbones for nothing.
• Be a contender in a "hot bodies" contest... I don't even need to win; I just need to be an actual, serious contender (and not because I need anyone's validation... this is for me!)
• Get to a point of physical fitness where the previous statement is a possiblity!
• Be one of Bobby Flay's personally invited audience guests on the set of "Iron Chef."
• OR, compete with him in an episode of "Throwdown" for my infamous Red Velvet Cake... (seriously, ask anyone who's had it...) BRING IT, FLAY!
• Make strides in the efforts to cure breast cancer, end bullying, and make sure EVERYONE has enough to eat, and the tools to succeed.  I know you can't help people who don't want help, but those who want to work and change their lives shouldn't be hungry, cold, homeless, or without pride... and I will do everything in my power to give them the tools for success.
• Make my parents and grandparents proud in everything I do, and give them everything they could ever want.  I know I do this now, but I was a tough teenager... I want to thank them, and show them that I was worth the effort <3

That's pretty much all I can think of for now... but I just discovered the 'edit posts' feature, so don't expect this to be it :P
