Bucket List

I like the idea of a bucket list. Here are the items I have checked off my list so far:

-see Luciano Pavarotti, Frank Sinatra and Paul McCartney in concert
-visit the Eiffel Tower, the remains of the Berlin Wall, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the home of Leonardo da Vinci, the Sistine Chapel, the Swiss Alps, the Italian Riviera, Vatican City, Pompeii, Amsterdam (wow), London
-study painting at an art studio in Florence, Italy
-take a gondola ride in Venice
-see the Vienna Philharmonic perform in Vienna
-backpack through Europe
-study martial arts, meditation and zen
-earn a masters degree
-have my artwork hang in a major museum (Warhol Museum)
-appear in a movie (Hoffa)

Things I haven't checked off my list:
-ninja training in Japan
-start my own clothing line
-publish a book
-learn to speak French
-visit Greece
-reach enlightenment

I'm sure the list will grow as the years progress. I don't ever want to reach a point where the list is complete. I would love to know what is on your list. What do you need to see, to experience? I would love to know.

i am not exactly a world traveler, actually i am very fortunate in my life. i would love to visit iceland, and australia. i wish i could become a true artist, watch my husband be a guitar player in an awesome place, meet chriss angel, create an ed hardy museum, own my own floral shop, cure cancer, and win millions of dollars to help everyone in this f'd up world. i have saved a few lives in my day, that is very gratifying, but also i have had people die in my arms and there was not a damn thing i could do about it. lastly spend one more day with my mother.......
