Found this site earlier today and here's the list I'm building: http://bucketlist.org/list/MicheleKS/
I've seen (or most of it anyway) the movie 'The Bucket List' with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. A Bucket List a fun thing do as it gives you something to think about other than the routine and drudgery of daily life.
A couple of people asked me about the track day yesterday and if it was an item on my Bucket List. I didn't have a Bucket List yesterday but if I had this item would have been crossed off. I've added riding/driving in an Indy car and a riding/driving in a Forumla One car, too.
Another question I was asked was if I was scared. Not at all. Speed does not scare me nor does driving (except when some idiot tries to kill me on the road but that pisses me off more than anything). For me it's about trusting the car and the driver. When I'm driving I know what I'm capable of and with the professional I was with yesterday I got to see him drive first before I got in with him. As Jeremy Clarkson said in the 60 Minutes segment on Top Gear: "Speed's great. Speed works."
What I've seen with Bucket Lists so far is a combination places and things people want to see, do things that are out of the ordinary range of experiences, and for me some would be about facing fears. I'd like to set foot on a boat and be able to go below deck and I'd like to sail on a sailboat within site of land on a clear and sunny day (no, you will not get me on an ocean liner in the middle of the ocean unless the zombie apocalypse happened and it was the only way to escape the zombie horde).
Can a bucket list be seen as a list of goals? I think so in that it's something to put your mind to. I like lists and goals and plans. Not that I'm that great at keeping to them but I try.
Very cool! I had to go check yours out -- and then I made my own. :) I've had Bucket Lists on the brain lately, so this came at the most opportune time!
