Your Bucket List
I just saw the movie the other night and although im only 20 I wrote my own. What would your top 5 be?
Mine-
1. See the Flames win the Cup (be old enough to appreciate it)
2. Visit all seven continents
3. See the Pyramids
4. Go Skydiving
5. See the Flames play in all 5 other Canadian Cities wearing the Flames jersey (it might sound obvious to wear the jersey but i dont think it counts if your not representing your team)

just saw it as well. I quite enjoyed the movie.
my list is as follows and not in any particular order.
1) Ride my bike to the Vegas Bike Fest and then cruise back along the Pacific Coastal highway.
2) I would love to take a family holiday across Canada, to the East coast.
3) To ensure that my children become happy and successful adults.
4) Spend 6 months of the year in a warmer climate when I retire.
5) I'd like to drive a Formula 1 or Indy race car or run a dragster down a quarter mile.

Seven? That would be a feat.
I nearly went to Antartica once - too bad I missed the boat by about a week.

I have a long list, but 5 that I can share:
1. watch a NASA rocket/shuttle launch live in person
2. compete in a marathon, triathlon or ironman competition
3. learn a new language
4. start a charitable foundation
5. live on the other 5 habitable continents

Maybe I'm misinterpreting that as sarcasm, but: NA, SA, Europe, Asia, Australasia, Africa, Antartica

3 really hot Brazillian women at the same time. Than I'll be happy to kick the bucket.

3. helicopter skiing
4. visit Africa, South America
5. take my parents on a cruise
6. meet Jarome Iginla
7. sort of like Canada 02, start a charity, but I don't think I'll be doing that one

I don't have that many
I'd love to see an NFL game, attend a Nascar race, even though I'm not a fan of either sport solely to take in the atmosphere
I'd like to see the Rangers play at Rangers Ballpark at Arlington, and Man United play at Old Trafford
I'd like to see the Flames at the Dome play once again. I can't comprehend being able to go to an NHL game on a regular basis, let alone the Flames, you people are so lucky you have no idea.
I'd also like to tour northern Belgium, and see where my grandfather fought in the Battle of the Scheldt.
Other things on the bucket list would be to finish hiking every trail in the Highlands National Park, and have a steak and Keith's draught at Your Father's Moustache in Halifax once again.
I like to experience the simplicity of the obtainable and little things in life that make me happy, at the same time the awe of the energy of a crowd.
I'd also like to put some faces to the names here.

Why is that lame?
It's the little things like that which make one's life THEIR life. Go for it!

- Build a cabin in the mountains, complete with handmade stone fireplace, as my grandfather once did.
- Take a train trip across every inhabited continent (three down, still need to do the three southern continents).
- Write something (another novel or a graphic novel) that gets made into a film. Preferably a good film.
- Spend a year living in the high arctic, or even better, spend some time on an icebreaker.
- And, uh, this one is rather ambitious, but win a GG.
Heck, any three of those and I'd be pretty happy.

1. See Portugal play a World Cup game at the Estadio da Luz
2. See the Flames lift the Stanley cup in person, if the league changed and we could beat the Canucks in Vancouver, that would be ideal for me.....but Im not being picky.
3. 3 chicks at the same time
4. 4 chicks at the same time
5. Party of Five!!

Speaking at the only Rangers fan in Canada, I envy you. I love the ballpark (or at least pictures and views on TV) and can't wait to see it in person.

Celebrated Square Root Day
|
1. Be at the Dome when the Flames win the cup in game 7
2. Get a house on a quiet lake, and sit on the dock playing guitar with a case of beer for hours
3. Get a wife that enjoys hockey, and taking day trips to kanaskis in the remote areas where there's no people for miles around.
4. To move on in life and get a career that allows me both the flexibility and financial stability to do all the little things I've always wanted to do.
5. To be able to afford an extra pair of Flames season tickets to give away each game to people that love the Flames and would wear red and cheer hard, but can't afford to go.

Nothing too out of the ordinary for me...
1. See Radiohead play (accomplished)
2. Go backpacking for at least a year around the world.
3. I'd like to put a few more wonders under my belt. (I've already seen Machu Picchu)
