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!
