Because no one used to have a bucket list. People had wishes and desires, things to do and see before long, before death, but they did not have bucket lists by the name MY BIG FAT BUCKET LIST
That’s why.
2. learn African drumming
3. learn to hula hoop (again)
4. learn to love more (aw!)
5. learn to smoke less
6. learn to limit my cigarette intake
8. bucket, fuck it!
9. learn to fence
10. leather jackets are squeaky, didja ever notice?
11. how do those Kama Sutra people have safe sex with all of those bracelets all over their arms? OUCH!
12. set up a permanent place (a goddamn office like I used to have) for one of my massage tables. I am awesome and I should work and I miss it (remember: there’s no massage like a Glatter massage)
13. bike more
14. bike some
15. bike a little
16. just bike already, okay?
17. Burning Man? probably not
18. another tattoo (more likely than Burning Man, but not very likely)
19. attend the births of my grandchildren (If I’m lucky enough to get some some day AND I’m invited. Adopted is good, too. I’ll take adopted)
20. learn to use a hammer and ladder much better than I currently can
21. learn to chop wood
22. survival skills
23. star of stage and screen, no matter how small
24. write a poem. AT LEAST one. One, just one fucking poem, okay?
25. sex position. Learn a new sex position. With or without bracelets. Okay, no bracelets or rings. NO PIERCINGS either.
26. don’t be a hater (aw!)
27. Kegels
28. why on god’s earth are Kegels named after a man? You think we didn’t think of that before doc? Fuck that, you bastard.
29. eat more
30. eat less
31. cook more
32. on second thought, make enough money to have a very large house with separate quarters for a live-in cook. But he/she is well-paid and gets lots of days off.
33. help build a Habitat for Humanity house
34. really! that one was for real (not that the other ones weren’t, but maybe that one gives me and the entire post the necessary gravitas)
35. shed inner conflict and don’t listen to the demons of doubt about dropping capitalizations and/or punctuation. whenever I feel like it, esp in blog comments. Haphazard, arbitrary, sometimes, always, never. Keep ’em guessing!!!
36. when I searched google images for Kama Sutra, I didn’t expect a stone carving with a donkey (horse?) to show up. I am SO not doing that!
37. how many items do people usually have on their bucket lists?
38. do not write stupid, insignificant, self-indulgent posts
39. I know, read Infinite Jest
40. but not really
41. how about, I’ll just reread all my favorite books from forever including books from my childhood and my childrens’ childhoods
42. and movies, too, yes, all those movies I love, especially Godfather I and II and Tarkovsky, Nostalgia
43. c’mon, all the kids are doing it–that’s what blogging is for (see #38)
44. marvel at the beauty of the central image of Infinite Jest and simply keep letting Hubby fill you in on the important parts of important novels. He’s your walking Cliff Notes, use him.
45. and TV: Cracker and Sopranos but not The Wire, no, except for Omar, I’ll just watch Omar
46. Omar
Carry on
