If this whole 2012 end of the world Mayan calendar thing is true, then ALERT: you are running out of time to complete your bucket list. Don't worry, you're not alone. I'm running out of time too. Some of the things on my list I will definitely be able to do, but some are worrying me. For instance, I don't know if I have the time to travel to Italy, Ireland, Australia, Greece, Egypt, South Africa, Mars, L.A., Las Vegas, any where in Texas or Alabama, or Disneyworld. Yes, that's right, I've never been to Disneyworld...or land. I also still have to meet Oprah and tell Meryl Streep that I want her to play me in my biopic because we all know Meryl Streep is not human and will still be alive when my biopic is made....unless the world ends.
But for real, the world is allegedly ending tomorrow. And I throw allegedly in there because no one knows for sure and I'm pretty sure it ain't gonna happen. But it still makes me realize all of the things that I haven't done yet. Hopefully, I have the time to do them all, but some of them are going to require some extra time.
I still haven't auditioned for American Idol. And I know I can't sing, I just want to audition just to be able to say. "I auditioned for American Idol."
I've never left the country. I've been to Hawaii. But that's still the US of A.
I still haven't seen the Lincoln movie.
I have not seen Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Pink, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, or Pitbull in concert. I'm sure there's more, I just can't think of them right now.
I still haven't been to a taping of a sitcom. Any sitcom.
I haven't driven cross country.
I never got to tell Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira that we all share a birthday.
I started to learn how to golf, but I'm not at pro-level yet....or any level.
I still haven't met many of the famous people I want to meet.
I've wanted to travel the world to ride all the great roller coasters. I've only ever traveled to Hershey Park.
I still have never been on a cruise.
I want to go to Atlantis and be like Mary Kate in Ashley in that one Mary Kate and Ashley movie.
I've never been to a Costco. And I hear it's like Sam's Club....but better. I really can't even imagine that.
I still want to fill a Windex bottle with blue gatorade and walk around spraying it in my mouth in public.
I have never tried to go up the down escalator...or vice versa.
I want to be in a movie.
I would love to swim with sharks. Not in one of those cage things. That's lame. Actually just swim with sharks.
I don't think this is even possible but we're on the marine life subject and I've always wondered what it would be like to be a killer whale like Free Willy. Or a lion. Lions live on land, but still.
Be a seat filler at the Oscars. Ya know, before I actually get invited to go to the Oscars and accept all my awards that will come someday.
Go scuba diving.
Learn to surf.
Learn how to play bridge. I used to sort of know...but I've lost a lot of that knowledge because it's been a while.
I would like to be a princess.
Meet the Queen.
Be a Queen.
Ok, this list can go on forever and ever and ever I'm sure of it. But I won't bore you all with my life goals. And in the words of the late great Donna Summer, "Let's dance the last dance."
I'm sure those lyrics have something to do with this post.
