blackdog.zeppelin's Bucket List

1. Visit every country in the world

It might seem like an impossible task, and it probably is considering there are about 200 countries in the world. However, I just want to see as much of the world as possible during my time here. Some of the countries that I want to visit the most are Japan, Australia, and the Vatican.


2. Bowl a perfect game.

I have been bowling since I was a small child but have never really got close to bowling a perfect game. It has always been one of my goals, which I hope to accomplish in the next few years. It is also one of my goals to compete in a national competition.


3. Collect all of the Final Fantasy video games, and all of the original Led Zeppelin albums.

This combines two of my favorite past times: video games and music. Final Fantasy is a role playing video

game series which is my favorite video game series. I own many of the titles from the series, but it would be exciting to be able to own all of them. Led Zeppelin is my favorite band, and always will be. I only own one of their records right now, but hopefully I will be able to collect more over the next while.


4. Go into outer space.

I have always been interested in outer space, however unfortunately I doubt that this will ever be achieved. I will either need to become very wealthy, or else space travel will need to become much easier throughout my lifetime.


5. Raise a happy family.

Of all the things on my list, raising a happy family is the most important one to me. Although all of these other dreams would be amazing to experience, nothing comes before having a healthy and happy family to provide for.


6. See the Seven Wonders of the World, or the replicas.

The Seven Wonders of the World are some of the most amazing structures ever created by mankind, and it would be an honor to be able to see them in person. Unfortunately many of them have not survived to this day, however most of them have had replicas created so that they will not be forgotten. The two that interest me the most are the Great Pyramid of Giza, which I want to actually go inside of, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria.


7. Make a difference in a third world country.

I’ve always tried to be a helpful person when I can, and have always wanted to help the less fortunate people of a third world country. For example, something similar to the “Building Hope in Ecuador” program. I would have liked to take part in it; however I didn’t have the money required for the trip.


8. Restore a 1969 Dodge Charger.

The 1969 Dodge Charger has always been my favorite car and I would love to buy one and fix it up so that I could show it off and look like a rebel. This is my favorite car because I think it looks amazing, and because it is the General Lee from “The Dukes of Hazzard,” which I used to watch as a child.


9. See Led Zeppelin live in concert.

Like I said before, Led Zeppelin is my favorite band of all time and has been for the last couple years. There’s a good chance this dream will not come true because Led Zeppelin do not currently tour, and haven’t performed since 2007, which was a onetime reunion concert. However, if I am lucky, there may be at least one more reunion to come, which I will attend at all costs.

10. Sustain my friendships from high school, especially with Anika.

Over my years in high school, through many different experiences, I have become friends with many amazing people such as Anika. I hope that I will be able to keep in touch with these people after graduation, mostly Anika, because they mean a lot to me and helped me become who I am today and who I will be in the future. If only high school could last forever!

My Bucket List









1. Go sky diving- I want to feel the adrenaline rush of free falling.









2. Win the lottery- if I win the lottery I can use the money to buy better farm machinery, and buy a nice big house along the coast of Florida.


3. Be able to blow up a building- I want to blow up something that will cause the earth to shake.


4. Get my class one License- if I have my class one I can drive across the country exploring the landscape, and making money at the same time.





5. Own Subway- if I owned subway I could eat all the subs I want for free and give free subs out to all of my friends. I will hire friends taste test and create new subs.
6. Design and build my own car- I want to have a one of a kind car. If it becomes a big hit sell the design for a lot of money and create a new on.



7. Curl in the worlds and/or in the Olympics- I love to curl and would love to curl for my country against the world. I would like to meet famous curlers.

8. Life Guard at a lake- I would like to life guard at a lake because I have been told it is the hardest place to guard. Would like to see just how well I would do.

9. Help end the war- if the war was over we wouldn’t lose anymore people. We could have trades with every country.

10. Go swimming with a great white- swimming with a great white shark is my lifelong dream. When I swim with the shark I want to be able to ride on its back and to see what it feels like to swim along side the most dangerous shark in the world.

Adios Amigos!


1. Pass High School Pre-Calc.
I wish to complete this course so that I have more doors open for me when I go to apply for university. I feel that it will build my character and make me more determined and hardworking. Side note, did you know that prealgebra also spells bagel raper? You do now.



2. Get baptized.
Making this commitment is something that I feel very strongly about and I definitely wish to accomplish before I die.I believe that this will help me to strengthen my faith and make my life count.



3. Have a career helping people with their mental health.
I have always been drawn towards how the human mind works, so I have always had this career in mind. I feel that it will be an intriguing and satisfying job because I am able to help others. Plus, I think that some people, such as myself, have a hard time believing that platform 9 and 3/4 does not lead to Hogwarts.



4. Be in a play/film.
I enjoy acting and feel that this is something I would like to accomplish during my life. I feel it is a way to express yourself and I just love storytelling in general.



5. Live in Australia.
I would like to live in this country for a year because I feel that the climate and atmosphere would agree with me. Traveling is something that I feel I need to do in order to define my personality and live my life fully. Also, a youtuber I watch called CommunityChannel is from there, and she is hilarious.



6. Make love with my husband.
Although this is a quirky want, I feel that it is something I would want to happen before I bite the dust. Having both a physical and emotional bond with someone you love is not something I wish to miss out on.



7. Write a novel.
I read non-stop, and just love books and stories in general. So naturally, I would love to write something of my own. I would not really care if it ever got published because I want to write it for my own personal benefit, if anyone else finds it interesting, bonus.



8. Have children.
This is something that I am excited and terrified to happen.I know I will love my children to death, but I think they may grow up having my extremely dirty humor or loving Twilight. I don't know what I fear more.



9. Find Narnia.
I plan to search every wardrobe that I lay might sights on until I find this mystical place. Once I do, me and Aslan will become best friends. Be jealous.



10. Retire.
I look forward to getting old and retiring. I plan to be one of the best old ladies out there, making jokes that are not appropriate, pretending to have Alzheimer, chasing kids off my lawn, and using those scooters they have in Wal-Mart.

My Bucketlist

1. Attend an Ozzy concert.

Because I think that Ozzy is a great artist and would be great to hear live.
It would also be cool to say i've been to one.

2.Beat this guy at starcraft

I would want to do this because Koreans are crazy at starcraft and if you can beat one you are either really smart or have no life.
I think if I beat one I could say i am a good strategist.

3. Become part of team Manitoba or something for curling

If i was part of team Manitoba it would mean i am really good, it would also mean i would have a shot at an even bigger team.

4. Go see the Parthenon

It would be a really cool sight to see because it is so old, i would probably take a big stone or something from it as a souvenir.

5. Get a job on an RCMP SWAT/ERT team

I would enjoy having a job like this because I don't want to work at a desk, counter, or some labor job that feels pointless. Joining a team like this would be great because it would keep you fit and get the adrenaline pumping while doing a service to the community.

6. Go inside one of the Pyramids of Giza

Since Egypt is such a cool place historiclly it would be a really awesome thing to do, there would also be a few cool things to see in the Pyramids.

7. Lead a proffesional paintball team

Paintball is my favorite sport, and would probably be one of the most entartaining experiences to lead a super good team to victory.

8. Master Jiu-Jitsu

It is really fun to do and learn, and would be a major accomplishment to master.
It would also be a great way to spend time instead of sitting at home doing nothing.

9. Attend Blizzcon

Blizzcon is really popular and is run by the company that produces alot of major games which i am a fan of, you can also meet lots of new friends, and see some really wierd people.

10. Skydive

Because it always seems to be on so many bucketlists, I will put it on mine. I suppose it would be an exhilerating experience and if i'm going to die anyways maybe i just won't pull the chute and try to land in a big city to scare all the pedestrians.

Mclovins Bucket List

My Bucket List

1. Travel all over the world – I want to see all of the special places of the world. I would want to experience these things, not just myself but with some friends, or a family member. I have always wanted to travel, ever since I was young.




2. See something majestic- I want to see something like the great pyramids of Giza, I also wouldn’t mind climbing the Rockies, or the Himalayas. These things would be very cool and I could say my life was a full and complete one.



3. Own an Auidi R8- This has been my favorite car for some time now. It is a very cool car and it is very fast. There are many other cars I would like to own but this is my favorite one for now.




4. Win a Gold Medal in High Jump- I have a big passion for high jump. I am close to winning a gold medal already, but I still want to do it before I die.









5. Play international soccer – Soccer is my favorite sport, I have played it since I was three years old. I have always wanted to compete for England, but I guess playing for Canada will do.
6. Meet Jimmy Page – Jimmy page is the lead guitarist for Led Zeppelin. He is my favorite guitarist and it would be a thrill to meet any member of Led Zeppelin.



7. Own more than 10 guitars- Right now I have one guitar, it is my prized possession. I paid a lot of money to get it. As I get older I hope to collect a lot more guitars and have a big collection.
8. Get pro at guitar- Playing the guitar is one of my many passions. I dream to get better at it as I grow up. I hope to someday play all the songs I love and enjoy.



9. Have countless subway everyday- Subway is the best food ever. I want to make so much of an impact on subway that they give me free subs every 10th sub.









10. Go see the world cup- The world cup is the biggest event in soccer. I would love to go and see at least one game of it.


Go skydiving- I love heights and I think it would be an amazing feeling. You’d have such an adrenaline rush and it would just make all your problems go away.




Go bunge jumping- I would love to try this. I’ve seen people do it and I’ve heard it’s an amazing thing to do.





Meet Travis Pastrana- I’d love to meet him because he lives life to the fullest, and is always having fun. I’d say he’s my biggest role model.






Have my own skydiving school- I think once I went skydiving for the first time I’d love it so much and would just want to keep going. So owning my own school I’d get to show people how to do it and do something I love.




Travel to Africa, Spain, Rome and back to Ecuador- I would like to travel to Africa to see their different ways of living, and do some help while I was down there. Spain and Rome I think would just be amazing places to visit, and Ecuador I would love to go back and visit the places I’ve been to, see the things I’ve done again, and to see the kids.





Live in Whistler- Ever since I started watching the show “Peak Season” I have wanted to live in Whistler. It’s beautiful there. Waking up every morning, looking out your window and seeing a beautiful view of the mountain would just start a day out perfectly.







Climb a mountain- The feeling of nothing matters anymore. You’re on top of the world and nothing is going to stop you. Standing on top of the mountain, and screaming “Hello!” I’ve seen it in movies and I think it would be an amazing feeling.







Have a black baby- Again; I’ve always wanted a black baby. But not a girl, I’d want a boy because I think they’d be more laid back and they don’t have the attitude girls have. I think It would just be much easier and they’re very cute 







Marry a black man- I’ve always wanted a black man to marry. Just to be different. Coming back to a 20 year reunion or something and everyone else be married to a white man then there would be me and my black man.





Take a big trip to Vegas with my closest friends- Having my closest friends by my side, living it up in Vegas. I think this one explains itself!
