insaner's bucketlist
you've probably heard of the concept before, especially since there's a movie with the same title.. well, a bucketlist is basically a list of things you want to do before you "kick the bucket" (in other words, "die"). and so one day i was thinking, "man, theres so much i would like to do before i die.. i should make it official and write up a bucket list!" and so here it is (not in order of importance) also, i will just be crossing goals off from each list, no matter what year i accomplished it in (since i seem to not have made a list for 2012, for example):
