Bucket List

Life is coming to an end and it's almost time to go, wishing to accomplish things planned on doing earlier. I am now 90 years old now and very regretful. If I was to make a bucket list, many things would be upon the list, but the main top 3 would have to be to do stand up comedy, to go skydiving, and to get married.

I would love to do stand up comedy, because bringing joy to people's lives is such a good feeling. Whenever people are hanging out with me, I always tend to be an entertainer. Being funny and telling jokes, making people laugh and smile is my own well rewarded satisfaction. And this is with just simply 5-10 friends, so just imagining to bring smiles upon 100s or thousands would be one hell of a great feeling.

I would want to go sky diving because that's just simply something insane and something that looks like total fun. Although I do admit, I do have a fear of heights so by sky diving I knock down my fear of heights and also go sky diving! Having a birds eye view of the planet we inhabit, must be one of the most amazing views a person can have.

Last, but definitely not least, I would like to get married. Being 70 now and all alone is no fun and I want someone to share the world with. I wish I had spent more time in finding that special girl that's perfect for me. Settle down with her and raise a family and to be able to pass on my teachings and wisdom. To then have someone continue my next generation. I wish I had found love.

A bucket list helps to accomplish those plans and dreams previously decided. It's a list of accomplishments you'd like to achieve. Every bucket list is different, because every person is different. A bucketlist can have anything from wanting to skydiving to learning how to fly. A word of advice is to make a bucket list, before the bucket gets to filled, meaning it's too late.

Texting while driving

When it comes to texting, it has its flaws and also its strengths. It’s all about limitations and restraint. If you’re driving and texting, you should obviously know how dangerous that can be. From personal experiences, I’ve seen the risks and problems it can cause. I was with my friend and he looked down for a split second to read a text he got and ended up hitting the back of a cop car. Really it can’t get any worse than that, besides death. The strengths would be such things as it’s convenient. If you only want to say one thing and don’t want to get involved in a huge talk to the other person, that’s where texts come in very handy. All you need to do is text it, and most of the time it doesn’t lead to a discussion. It removes all awkwardness when it comes to talking to a person. Sadly though, some people abuse this in such things like breaking up with their boyfriend/girlfriend. I personally believe texting has helped communication, but if viewed from how the reckless people text, then most wouldn’t agree with my opinion. If used texting wisely, the pros overpower the cons.

Legalizing Marijuana

Marijuana should be legalized, but also have its limits. Just how alcohol is legal, but drinking and driving is illegal. Minors should not be allowed to purchase from stores selling the drug. Certain areas should not be allowed to have marijuana smoked at, such as schools and work places. If it's at the comfort of your own house, marijuana should be allowed to be smoked from the privacy given by the Constitution. Marijuana has more positive effects than negative ones, such as creativity is stimulated and intelligence is increased. It's even currently being used as a way to deal with pain with therapy with patients who suffer from cancer. Recklessness deserves punishment. If you're being reckless you deserve to be punished. If you do something, you do it knowing the possible outcomes. If you drink and then plan to drive, you know there's a high chance of causing injuries or being injured as well. Such limitations are needed and can't allow the the drug to be used whenever one pleases. If that was the case, the injury percentage would skyrocket. If marijuana was to be legalized, the recession we're currently undergoing would wither away to no more. Money will be back in circulation and countries we currently trade with would buy marijuana, thus bringing money back to the US and furthermore lowering our nation's debt. Just some of the many reasons I personally believe marijuana should be legalized, but also with a lot of limits.

Symbolism

My little brother in his brown tee-shirt, which was originally white, comes running into the house. I asked him "what was wrong?" as he showed me his knee. What looked like ketchup dripping down his knee, seconds later realizing it sure wasn't. My little brother being only 10 still needs help with a lot of things he does. Especially when it comes to reaching high places, being 4ft tall doesn't help. As I placed the band-aid over his cut I asked him "How did he get the cut?" and his reply had me on the floor laughing until tears came. He told me how Mom bought him a Subway sandwich and a passing monster that barked passed by and attacked him, but instead of hurting him stole his sandwich. This still didn't solve how he got the cut though. Finding out few minutes later how he then chased the barking monster and fell, thus scraping his knee. As I wiped away what looked like rain drops coming down his cheek, I told him I could go get him another sandwich right now, anything he'd like. His frown that was upside down, flipped the other way and he became happy once again.

Expiremental Project

I really don't mind being in an experimental project, seems fun. Blogging will get more fun as we learn more of the things we can do with it.
