Subsim Bucket List

Red October1984 · 03-22-13, 11:07 PM

So...let's hear it.

What are the things you want to do before you "

"?

I've got a few. This isn't the full list. There are many more that I can't remember off the top of my head. I haven't ever put this to writing. Obviously, some of these things have better chances of happening than others. I doubt I'll actually get those autographs...but hey...it might happen.

Here's what I've assembled of mine. I'd like to see what you guys want to do before you die.

Skydive
Visit Chernobyl
Get my Pilot's License
Teach my future kids baseball
Get an autograph from Eric Church
Get an autograph from Liam Neeson
Visit Europe
Visit other Russian cities
Become successful at whatever career I choose
Visit at least 5 museum ships/submarines

Ok I'll bite

Go out on a date
Undertake at least one patrol on a submarine
Visit U-995
Develop a video game
Get cast as the Doctor

nothing.
i have seen all the upsides of life, and having fun will not advance my knowledge.
and even if it did, and i would become a wise man, i would still die and humanity would still be stupid.

so... nothing.
what my experience lacks iws sickness and pain, being poor and fear of death.

guess i am ready to.. "kick it".

Already done everything. Bucket list is in the bucket.

Platapus · 03-23-13, 07:20 AM

I am either very content or very shallow, but in my 50s, I don't really have a bucket list.

I have had a great life, full of strife and joy. I have done wonderful things and experienced terrible things. I fully expect to do more wonderful things and will probably experience more terrible things.

But I don't have any specific items in a bucket list. Maybe I should. I just plan on living and trying to do goodly things in my small way.

I do know that there were some things that I wanted to do when I was younger that just don't seem as important any more.

Jimbuna · 03-23-13, 08:05 AM

Done pretty much everything I've wanted as I've gone through life.

I can only think of two:

1) Hopefully be visiting Alaska this year.
2) Meet Neal and some other great friends again at some future SubSim Meet.

See Norway
See Germany
See Italy
See Bora Bora
Make $100,000 a year
Plant a garden
Learn to golf

That's it for now. Some are easy, some are near-term, and some are longer term goals.

Win a Lottery and help keep SubSim going even longer.

Repaint the GTO back to it's original color.

Visit Australia and New Zealand.

Find a metorite from Mars.

All of which will probably never happen. But it's nice to dream.

One of the main points of this thread...

Everyone has dreams...

I'd sure as heck love to be the Captain of a WW2 American Fleet Boat...

That won't happen though...

Oberon · 03-23-13, 09:22 PM

Not likely to happen...but...

Do a paradrop from a C-47
Travel the world - visiting, Egypt, Russia, Germany, France, Italy, America, Japan, Australia and Kenya.
Walk on the surface of Mars or at the very least witness someone do it
Fly, not as a pilot or if I do then make it the last item on the list...

nikimcbee · 03-23-13, 09:38 PM

@Mookie
I mis-read yours, I thought it said "visit Tora Bora."

My list would be:
See a White shark in the wild.
Ride on a submarine
Have a pint with Jim and others

That's a bit of a distance for me.

Maybe sometime...If i'm ever up that way....

Note to any government agents reading this: I am NOT looking to visit Tora Bora or the Taliban. Thank you!
