10 things I want to do before I die
Sunday, October 25, 2009
With everyone and their cousin getting the H1N1 (get better Ange and Jacob!), and that poor 13 year old boy in Toronto dying from H1N1 when he was in perfect health, its got me thinking of what I would want to do if I knew when I was going to die.
10 things I want to do Before I die.
2. View the Mona Lisa in the Louvre. I love art, and I love museums. Of all the grand museums in the world, the Louvre makes me giddy and jealous of anyone who's every stepped foot inside its archways. One day I will too. But until then, I will put it on my bucket list, and hope to god I see Mona Lisa smile before I hit the dirt.
If we could only see past the dollar signs and the crappy footprints the Bush administration left behind, we might be in a better place, economically, mentally, and canadian-ally....
10 things I want to do Before I die.
1. 
Do a missionary trip. I'd love to travel somewhere like Africa or Peru and help the residents of the place I'm visiting some how. Perhaps with Doctors without boarders (although I'm not a doctor...but I do fluff a mean pillow!) or Amnesty International. This ties in with my need to help other's, and although I know I'm going to die, although I don't know when, I do plan to do a trip somewhere to help someone out.

I loved French as a young child and found myself shy away from in early in highschool as I hated my french teacher. I love the language, and even now I sometimes get the urge to pick up a french dictionary and see how much I still remember from all those years of learning it. I think I would like to enroll my children in french immersion so at least they can get to experience the other cultural and language experience in Canada.
4. Raise a family
As silly as you may think this sounds, as I could choose to do anything in the world on my bucket list; I want to leave a legacy. I know theres something different within myself and I would like to perhaps procreate and maybe pass on my values and beliefs to my future children. I want to leave a mark on this place, and what better mark to make than to pass on your genes! Go genetics!
5. Witness the cure for Cancer
I would love to finally know that the number one killer disease in all of the world could be fought and won and all that progress was made by simple human beings with the knowledge to learn and overcome. This should be number one on my list. It wouldn't bring the people that have already past from cancer back, but it would make me feel better knowing my love ones will have a way to survive without me. :( Not saying I could cure cancer, its just a comfort thing.
6. Perform on Broadway
I'd love to belt out a sunny Annie tune or rock out on broadway. Just once. I don't have the greatest voice, but I sure would love to focus my acting chops on some sort of ballsy out-there kind of broadway production. Maybe something with Matthew Broderick.... hint hint. lol
7. Win the Lottery ( a big one, like 88mil)
If I won the lottery, so many of the people I love and cherish would be set for life. You better believe if I love you, you wouldn't be worrying about your shitty car, or your inability to pay bills, pay for school, food etc. I'd be all over that like white on rice. And don't think I wouldn't leave my favourite LGBT charities out and my parents wouldnt have to work another day in their lives I can garentee that.
8. Witness the disolve of the American Oil War
If we could only see past the dollar signs and the crappy footprints the Bush administration left behind, we might be in a better place, economically, mentally, and canadian-ally....9. Witness the disolve of global warming!
This goes along with my wish to have a family legacy. I can't have a legacy if my world decides its going to burn up and die now can I?
10. Start my own political party and run Canada
You better believe I'd be equal rights, equal pay for women, liberal acts and predjudices aside, I'd kick some ass. Better bet your ass smoking tobacco would be illegal, cause if the green ain't legal, neither is tobacco in my imaginary Canadaland.
So thats all I could think of. No I dont want the typical sky diving, or whatever. I basically just want to know when I die....I can just die, and that I don't have to worry about those I leave behind. I'm not even sure if I can worry about those I leave behind in the afterlife, but we can think about it in the sense that I think perhaps I could remember and feel for my legacy and past life.....in the afterlife lol.
I know these are highly untainable in my lifetime, so maybe I should procreate, so some part of me can witness the great feats man has to come.
in memory of uncle Pearce Young. May you rest in peace, we will love and miss you forever.
