Once again borrowing the “Fun Friday” idea from my friend Joey Strawn (he does some pretty cool Fun Friday blog posts that you oughta check out), I’ve decided to lighten things up a bit for today. We’re gonna play a game here on the Inkling Media blog. Join me by letting me know what items are on your Bucket List. What are the things you absolutely want to do before you die?
Here are a few of the things on my list:
1. See the movie The Bucket List – nope. still haven’t seen it, but I want to. I guess it’s a really sad movie, so my wife doesn’t want to see it. And I don’t like watching movies by myself. Anyone have it on DVD that I can borrow?
2. Write a book – This will happen. Have already begun the process. Still trying to decide whether or not to make it a “scratch ‘n’ sniff” book or not, though…
3. Get out of the country – 49 years old and my only two ventures out of the country include a trip to Montreal and another to Toronto. I actually loved Toronto. Great city. But somehow Canada just doesn’t seem to qualify for “international travel”. Especially since both are just over the border. I’m thinking Europe. Or Australia.
4. See U2 live in concert - They’ve pretty much been my favorite band since I first played them on the air at my college radio station back in 1980. And yet, I’ve never seen them live. I met them once, but that was for a radio interview, not a concert. Some day…
5. See a game in every major league baseball park – Baseball is my favorite sport and I love seeing different ball parks. I’ve got a long way to go. Like…most of them. Um, I think I’ve only seen games in two of the current parks. Sure hope I live well into my 90s!
6. Go to Cooperstown – Of all the sites in the U.S., one of the ones I want to see the most is the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. A friend of mine recently went and sent me pictures, and boy was I wishing I was there! This is probably one of the most attainable items on my list.
7. Invent a new word – I’m currently trying to get everyone to start using the word “Muelleriffic” to describe things that are really, really, really amazing. Go ahead. Say it. Out loud. Your assignment is to use it in conversation at least once a day for the next month. C’mon. Help me out!
8. Have a meal or drink named after me – I wouldn’t mind having a nice coffee blend named in my honor (are you taking notes Square One Coffee??) Also wouldn’t mind being immortalized in some kind of sandwich. Any suggestions? I already have a comic character patterned after me (though he needs his own spinoff!)
9. Get my own TV show – My family is pretty darn funny, but I don’t think theyd agree to be on camera. They often follow their funny statements with “Don’t tweet that!”, so I’m pretty sure they won’t approve of a family reality show. Perhaps a series from the porch, complete with visits from my wacky neighbors and even wackier friends. Can’t be any worse than 95% of the garbage that people watch these days. I would also love a Food Network or Travel Channel show where I get paid to travel and eat. I could do that! Or, I’d even be happy to get paid to sit on my porch and eat all sorts of food. Hmmm. I need an agent.
That’s pretty much all I can think of. I’m a pretty simple guy.
Oh, and if you’re looking for the small business or social media application to this, it’s pretty simple. This is an exercise in community building, relationship building, and getting to know more about others. You now know more about me, so it’s your turn!
So what’s on your bucket list? Comment below and let us know about the things you’ve always wanted to do!
