The Official Bucket List (since the world is ending)

It has been quite some time since I have posted on the old blog but I have decided to resume for as long as my attention span holds out which will most likely be about a month. Probably not even.

It is almost the new year and the world is going to end in 2012 so I am totally looking forward to it. Most people look at me strangely when I say that. Most people look at me strangely period. But for the few that understand (aka Stephanie) the end of the world - barring it not being painful - should be pretty damn exciting.

BUT before the world ends there are a few things I want to do. So I better figure out how to fit them in before the whole thing falls apart.

Mission 1: Go into, tour and experience the full essence of a Stage 4 hoarder's home.

I hope it looks at least a little something like what you see above. It can always look worse, that is absoluely no problem. Of course because I have a severe aversion to bad odors I am going to require a mask for this adventure. Trust me, it wil be worth it.

Mission 2: Go to Pripyat and take pictures, tons and tons of pictures, wherever I want.

See? Look how cool it looks. Oh, and I don't care if there is nuclear fall out or you will get arrested by the Ukrainian police for trespassing or it not being possible unless you are a National Geographic photographer. This is MY bucket list and the world is going to end anyway so who cares about a little exposure?


Mission 3: Take a hiking tour of Laos.

Yes, they are next Vietnam. No, I don't care. It is still a beautiful country and very inexpensive to travel to. Plus I am curious. I mean honestly, how many people do YOU know that have been to Laos? That's what I thought ... NONE.

Mission 4: Eat Baked Alaska

First, let me say this is the only one that is slightly realistic and actually has the chance of happening to me before the world ends. Second, I must be honest and say I obtained the obsession with baked alaska through a credit card commercial. I didn't want to get the credit card but I sure as hell wanted to get the dessert.

Mission 5: Jump on a bed full of money.

It probably won't be mine. If it is, it will be ones

I am getting tired ... more to come I'm sure but for now, here are the first five that need to get done within the next three hundred and sixty five days. Anyone who wants to lend a hand feel free.
