Bucket List

I realized I am a lazy blogger. I pretty much copy and paste stuff I already have and that is it. Maybe I should just retire... Maybe it is because it is almost one in the morning and I plan on getting up in just a little over five hours. Anyhows, I have been working on creating a bucket list over the past few months now and I have to say, it is pretty flippin' awesome and awe inspiring and other awe-inducing things. So, here is the un-abridged copy of my bucket list. It is eight pages long on Word. If you can think of any awe-some/inspiring ideas, you should let me know! Crossed out ones are ones I have accomplished... Enjoy:
