Life list
Because I keep thinking I can do things later, I’ve decided to post my life list to keep myself accountable and remind myself why the heck I was put on this earth.
I will regret if I do not:
- Publish a blog (Checkmate! This is it!)
- Publish a book (Ambitious much?)
- Teach a yoga class (…if even once)
- Learn to cook (…and I mean really cook)
- Host a big dinner party (Think more than 50 people)
- Be on Tech TV (G4) at least once
- Compete in a fitness competition (FAME!)
- Rock at public speaking – in fact, be a speaker!
Travel once a year to another country(Cuba 2009; Mexico 2010, Poland 2011, USA 2012)- Travel all over my fatherland (Poland)
- Grow my own veggies/fruit/herbs (…on my balcony if I must!)
- Finish my piano lessons
- Get an SLR and learn how to use it
- Ensure the above pics are published somewhere (Not here…that doesn’t count!)
Teach a college/university level course(Taught a Continuing Education course at Seneca in 2011)- Run a 5 minute mile
- Finish a half marathon (I already feel bad for & am proud of future me)
- Heck with it – let’s add in a marathon too
- …And while we’re feeling ambitious a tri-athalon (See swimming comment for item #47)
- Make one piece of furniture to put in my home
- Go to a yoga retreat somewhere tropical
- Donate a substantial amount to charity (4 figures – decimals don’t count)
- Be an online influencer
- Refinish one piece of old furniture (Old = over 50 years old)
- Map my family tree (Up to the grandparents of my grandparents)
- Host a charitable event
- Create a website from scratch
- Complete a 10k (I’ve run two Sporting Life 10k’s – 2009 & 2010!)
Watch a UFC fight live(Attended the first UFC broadcasted in Canada. GSP fought in Toronto in 2011!)- Learn how to use turntables
- Visit The Great Wall of China
- Visit Venice, Italy
- Visit Stonehenge
- See whales & dolphins in their natural habitat (You know..the ocean!)
- Experience zero gravity (Seriously Virgin, where is your consumer experience for those that can’t afford the trip to space?)
- Attend a bootcamp (…and kick some serious ass at it…army styles)
- Learn to shoot a gun (Riffle preferably but handgun will do too)
- Be on the radio
- Be on television (Think personality/guest/subject matter expert vs goofy interview on the street)
- Attend a TED conference (How does one get on that VIP list?)
- Pose for Maxim (Watch out Megan Fox…I got this!)
- Attend FIFA
- Attend the Olympics (Preferably winter over summer but I’ll take either)
- Become more involved in politics
- Go zip-lining (I am crazy afraid of heights but this could be SO FUN)
- Go on a police ride-a-long (Do they do these anymore I wonder?)
- Learn to surf (Know why this is scary? Cos I don’t do so well with water either. See heights #45)
- Visit the Great Barrier Reef
- Have a baby (Even better, a traditional family…but that’s all pie in the sky. Baby before 35.)
- Take ballet lessons again
- Learn to dance in the contemporary style
- Learn how to play gee-tar (I just borrowed my cousin’s classical guitar. Now to figure it out. Hmmmmm….)
- ….






So I noticed the RT for your “Top 10 reasons why you should go to #TwestivalTO” and thoroughly enjoyed your writing style. Intigued by your way with words, I continued on and explored your blog (happy I did) and noticed we’ve got lots in common! Some of the accomplishments you’ve listed here are also things I’ve love to do.
Looking forward to meetin ya on Thursday!
Thanks so much for the kind words Zemina! Makes my day to hear that someone enjoys what I write about.
Come find me this Thursday and we’ll chat. I’m pretty loud – you’ll hear me before you see me haha!
lol..sounds like a plan! Looking forward to meeting ya!
#28 – Turntables…
Do you mean like wooka wooka scratch boom type DJ stuff?
Yup I sure as heck do
Visiting The Great Wall of China is a must for me as well…I’m hoping they’ll let me drive a scooter the entire length but something tells me I’ll find myself in china jail… Best of luck with the rest of your goals, I’m sure you’ll rock it!
Well that would be fun…or a segway just for the photo opp!
Alisaan,
Thanks for including me in your blogroll! I’m honoured!
kk
Pfft anytime homie!
I share what I love.
Love your bucket list Alison, reminds me that I still need to create one for myself.
Karen – it was a hard list to put together (and quite frankly it seems to keep growing before it gets any smaller) but it’s also nice to finally cross some items off.
Let me know when you have yours up – would love to see it.
