What to do, what to do?

November 28, 2012

I was asked what was on my bucket list of things to do before I left and to be honest I truly have no idea… I have a mixed perspective on bucket lists… on the one hand they ensure that you have planned out a variety of different activities to complete in a timely manner; yet on the other hand it also seems daunting… so I think I have decided to kick bucket lists to the curb and just appreciate the daily occurrences of my life… such as going to the Of Monsters and Men show last night- which was FABTASTIC!!! (I will post pictures shortly). Last night was a semi-planned event since I had to purchase the tix ahead of time and we missed the sale for the DC show so we had to road trip to Richmond, which was interesting… digressing to the point that appreciating time spent with family and friends without crossing off those events on a list oftentimes makes for a more substantial and enjoyable culmination of events.

However, if I absolutely HAD to create a bucket list I suppose the following things would be on it:

1. See as MANY concerts as possible…preferably of the cheap ticket variety
2. Visit college friends and things of that sort including making the trip up to Boston
3. Exploring as much of my home in DC since prior to this year I haven’t nearly taken advantage of my hometown like I should have
4. Do lots of FREE things, museums, rando parties, things of that nature
5. Go hiking around Great Falls MD&VA side
6. Eat at least one more chilli half-smoke with everything on it from Ben’s Chilli Bowl… I’m going to miss that place
7. Perform on the street for money (music of course) and/or go to a Karaoke bar
8. Take lots of pictures of home and friends and family… I have been pretty terrible at that whole active photography thing but perhaps I can reform my ways to get into the habit of taking lots of pictures
9. Run a 5k…maybe
10. Go iceskating in the sculpture garden

I don’t think my list is all that extraordinary… though I am sure there will be many things added or changed about the list as time moves on that is all for now though!
