Great post. Your alternatives to 11-13 sound like mine. Also, your 17 has already happened. Need I remind you?

I have a hard time believing that you haven't done some of these (bowl over 100, go to a magic show, slap someone, etc.) Great list - a little long though. This post is almost a year old - I sure hope you were able to cross some of these off!
ReplyDeleteHere's a little taste of my bucket list: go to North Korea, explore the Middle East by motorbike, ride an elephant, drink every flavor of Fanta, break into a high security facility, get into a serious fist fight (stops when one person goes unconscious, or dies), save someone's life, start a business, help a country in a revolution
it was super long. i pared it down a little bit. and yes, i have done some of those things, i just forgot to update it. but, really, i'm a terrifically BAD bowler. i once only knocked over a single pin during an entire game. and no, i haven't been to a magic show (aside from that one anti-bullying assembly in high school) or really slapped someone.
Deleteand if you do get into that serious of a fistfight, i sure hope you don't die, and that you end up saving the life of the other guy after you knock him out cold.
