10 Things to do before I die.

Hey all, sorry for the delay on posting.  I have been busy with work and just generally un-motivated to write.  Anyway, today I am going to make a list of 10 things I would like to do before I die.  Why am I doing this you may ask?  Because shut up, that's why.  Seriously though, I do like the idea of a bucket list and here are some things from mine.

1. Get married.  This is a pretty obvious one (especially for those of you that know me) as I am a bit of a romantic.  I just think that life is better when you have someone that you love to share it with.

2. Have children.  Again, pretty obvious.  I really want to be a father one day.

3. Own a cattle ranch.  Yes, I mean it.  If this surprises you then you clearly have not been paying attention.

4. Visit Ireland/Scotland.  My family has a great deal of heritage from these countries and I have had a great desire to visit them since I was a child.  These is so much wonderful history in these countries and I want to see it.

5. Fight a bear.  This would likely be the last thing on my list, but I think if I was gonna be dead soon anyway (say starving or sick) this would be a badass way to go.  Just sayin'.

6.  Be a mentor to someone.  I know how important mentors can be in a young man's life.  I have a great relationship with my mentor/friend and I don't know where I would be without it.  I just hope that one day I can speak into someones life the same way he spoke into mine.

7.  Do a cattle drive.  Just like City Slickers.  Get a few friends and join a large multi-state cattle drive.  This just sounds like a blast to me.

8.  Spend and extended period in nature alone.  Again, this just sounds like fun.  It would be a great time of self reflection and time to spend with God.

9.  Ride a bull.  Do I really need to explain?

and 10.  Learn to play the banjo.  I'm not explaining this one.  Deal with it.  :)

Well, there ya have it, a list of 10 things I want to do before I die.  What about you guys?  Do you have anything?  Feel free to comment and let me know.  I'm interested to see what you guys have.

God bless!

    1. With. But nothing too fancy. Like a spear or a knife. It has claws and teeth, I need to even the playing field with what skills God gave me. Yay for tool making!
