LIFE'S TOO SHORT....

Confessional: I LOVE to watch the Ellen DeGeneres show. I know some of you are sighing or growling or whatever...but I don't care. I think the lady is stinkin hilarious and every time I see her show she makes me laugh. Quite frankly, that's enough--regardless of sexual preference.

SO, with that said, Ellen has committed this season to making a "Life List." Meaning, she's making a list of all the things she wants to do or accomplish before she dies and she's working towards crossing them off. Ellen has obviously made hers and now she's asking for others to do the same. You can even send it in with the possibility that she might help you in making those things happen.

I don't know about the whole "sending it in" thing, but I actually began a list like this in college and have been adding to it (and crossing some things off) ever since. Of course, all this talk has got me thinking about it again and so I thought I'd share a few of them here.

Please Note: This in no way means that I've forgotten what an amazing and rich life I have already lived. I truly believe that, should I leave this world before another one of the following things gets crossed off, I will have lived exceedingly and abundantly beyond what most could only imagine. (Thank YOU, Father.)

So in no particular order, here's a sampling of what's on my very own
"LIFE LIST":

*Visit every continent.
*Own & drive a motorcyle.
*Learn to fly a plane.
*Get my scuba diving license.
*Write a book.
*Live in NYC and/or LA.
*Take a photography class & own the equipment needed
*Take a tour of the US by way of visiting every major league baseball stadium
*See Game 7 of the World Series when the Cardinals play!
*Learn to surf.
*Hang out with the current president--discussing life, war, etc. ;)
*Etc., etc., etc.....

So I'm curious, WHAT'S ON YOUR LIFE LIST????

The Bearded's Top Ten
1) Every Continent
2) North Pole (no joke!)
3) Archeological Sites: Machu Picchu, Great Wall, Easter Island
4) Go on a dinosaur dig with Jack Horner
5) Learn to fly fish
6) Learn to swing dance
7) See a game on the Frozen Tundra
8) Finish my PhD
9) Publish 3 artlicles (which are not really on my list, but they need to be so that I can...)
10) Explore for National Geographic!

The top two have been with me since maybe I was 5, number 3 since I was about 10, and the rest have been checked off and added through the years. The are a number of others (such as spreading the word on the evils of "BEER + ICE CREAM") but those are most of the biggies.

I've known some people who've done the baseball tour and I think it's a great idea!

I'm curious as to what was on your list that you have been able to cross off already?

And a motorcylce? Are you serious? There's one I never saw coming.

Oh and to answer your question, one of mine would be to make it onto a reality tv show. I would prefer a well-known one like Survivor, Amazing Race, or especially Big Brother and seeing as how I'm not musically inclined, that takes out most of the other ones.
