‘ve been thinking alot out my own version of the bucket list this month.

I’m not in danger of dying anytime soon, I don’t believe, unless this year’s physical generates some surpise bonus content to my life. But it seems to be that if there are things you want to try to complete before you pass away, it’s better to start thinking about them at 40, rather then when you’re spending your last few days debating the existance of an afterlife with yourself. Hopefully, at age 95.

And a half.

I completed one of my life goals this last week. Which is probably where all of this stems from. I purchased a new car and had the dealer build it the way I wanted it. Rather then just buying the closest thing to my vision on the lot that day. It was kind of cool. And pretty damned expensive. But it did get something off my list.

I think I want to write a story. Not a novel, but perhaps a novella? I’m an avid reader and can spin a story from time to time. Years back, I participated in an IRC Star Trek group. The Captain’s role was to organize a story for the members of the crew. Each week, I’d take my crew of 8 or so “crew members” through a mission. Borrowing heavily on the lore of the setting, to be sure. But everyone seemed to have a good time. Every good author that I follow seems to have a group of people who proof read thier work and help move each story along. Maybe I should tap into the seemingly critical brain trust here at wife-aggro for some of that feed back.

We’ll see.

I’d also like to complete a full song. I can put together a little intro piece for a podcast w/out straining myself to overly much. Now I think I’d like to do the full 3 verses, 3 choruses, and a bridge. It’s in me. I think I just need to focus.

Those two goals may not be entirely unrelated. I suspect it’s just two forms for the same goal of tapping into my creative side.

Maybe I need a Bucket List catagory.
