You'd have to hope not! If you're going for the record you'd risk some sort of "sports" injury

I want to have kids and be a better parent than mine were. Give them the chances I was denied.
Own a house.
Become fit and sexy.

I already think of you as quite sexy.

Wouldn't mind playing one more gig with a decent band.  Or maybe recording one more song where someone says, "wow, that's good".

Would love to take part in an actual game at Griffin Park.

Oh, and sell the KaBL brand to Fender for a million squids.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master;
If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings -- nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run --
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!

I'd like to have a nap. Or, rather, I'd like to be better at napping. About two minutes in to any attempt to nap I think of something else to do and go off and do that instead.

Since "bucket" means "bin" in Scotland, I thought this was going to be about things you want/need to get rid of...

I don't have a bucket list.

I've already been to Machu Picchu and a bunch of other really cool places.

I don't want to sky dive or bungee jump.

I'm told that dolphins try to bone you when you swim with them.

Also I reckon Scarlett Johansson would never sleep with me- she's certainly ignored my letters until now.

I want to have a dump like the one I had back in '05. It was fantastic, touched the water while still in the chute. Great days, we won't see the like of them again, I fear.

It wasn't so great for the other people in the pool.

So im not much of a hip hop fan, and really there arent that many quotable lines from hip hop songs, but there is one that i really like and although i dont have a bucket list, i look at life along the lines of this quote:

"If life is a b***h then im out for f***in' her"

(Obvious artist license on grammer)

the rules were most clear; no running, diving, bombing or heavy petting.

Do you still have that video montage you made of the turds of 2005? With "The Sound of Silence" playing in the background? "365 Absent Friends" I think you called it.

It was beautiful, man. I'm choking up just thinking about it.

VimFuego

that was a great year, lots of fibre and protein.

sorry about the choking sensation, too much garlic in the diet I guess.

No so much a list..by I'd be happy with this:

Wow.... there's a lot of miserable sh!ts on here then aren't there?

What's wrong with having dreams in mind that you want to aim for? It's (a little) selfish, but it doesn't have to be - depending on your list that is. 

I don't believe in any afterlife, or chance of resurrection in another body etc etc, so why the hell would I give up the chance to do & see as much of this planet's wonders as I can before I kick the bucket? I'm 26, but my list is pretty set in stone, and has been for about 10 years. I don't see at all how this means I can't continue to work on a rewarding career, and a happy life at home with my wife etc...?!

p.s. I've already swam with dolphins, multiple times (Abroad, & in the UK).   They're okay.

I don't think anyone suggested it did.

Just because I have no interest in trekking to Matchu Pitchu doesn't mean I don't think other people should.

Just my impression of the posts, no more than that

Cast her adrift, mate, she never returns my calls either. Even the silent ones I sometimes make.
