Well it has been a while since I last blogged, some would say too long, most would say not long enough...but the point is time has elapsed and my fingers have not written words that have appeared in sentences throughout paragraphs within a blog....this blog even. Why haven't I written a blog* you may ask**... Well it is because at the moment life sucks. Plain and simple. And I don't want to harp on about it too much but I have been pretty immensely depressed for the last 2 months...Love, life, adventure, freedom, faith, friendships and etcetera have all become poop. I not so recently (it happened the very first day of May...what a stupid month) ruptured my anterior cruciate ligament and had to get surgery. I have spent so much time in pain both physically and mentally and morale is down.
BUT b-boys and fly-girls*** I shall begin reclaiming morale! I shall begin reclaiming my life! Two knees, no knees...a negative number of knees or not, I shall start kicking ass at life. Therefore I have decided it is time for some serious bucket listing to get done.
Ever since I was a kid I have loved writing lists out of things I want to do with my life and time... I have a few that I normally wouldn't share with anyone, but that's been dud because I haven't had anyone spurring me on, and I have been a gutless wimp. So therefore I'm sticking as many things onto this list as I possibly can, and I want as many people to add as many things as they can until I have at least 100 things! Success or failure, I am going to attempt this stuff and if you can you should join me on this ride... Life is too short!
Ok...let's get cracking....oh...wait, before I do get "cracking", alot of this stuff will be fairly personal and a lot will be a whole heap of adventure and fun...the personal stuff you can ignore if need be, but it's going on here because even though this is public, it's still my stuff...so...good...cracking on...OH!

Wow this is great Lachlan!
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to swim with sharks as well. you cand o that at Seaworld you know!
Does the drumkit need to be in a playable condition because I have an old rusted one back home in maryborough if you want to buy it for a couple bucks.
Hmm you have on there see the 7 wonders of the world, maybe you could also try to see all of the man made wonders of the world... not sure how many of them there are.
Do you want to do more things with animals? My bucket list would be overrun with animal stuff, like pet a panda and own a pig and ride a camel... maybe you could do something i've done already like ride an elephant, hold a baby tiger... I don't know.
