:lol:

Mission accomplished! Although they didn't pay me a cent, haha. I'm not famous enough that my word is enough to generate buzz. It's usually travel insurers and dodgy travel sites that need me :lol:

Jesus... I'm blown away by the interesting lives you guys want to lead. Go for it!

Mine is restricted to two that I can immediately think of -

1. See one of the auroras in person
2. Live to see us discover life elsewhere (largely out of my control, really... as I'm not an astronomer or work in a profession that is in any way related to astrophysics.)

I don't really have much of a passion outside of those 2 that I can immediately think of. It's not really a topic I've granted too much thought. But those are 2 things that I definitely, 100% know I want to see.

I've always been obsessed with having as much crammed into life as possible. Keeps me busy.

Seeing the auroras is on my list though.

Haha, no no dude, I'm pretty sure I'm the broken one, not you. Maximizing your life seems perfectly rational to me, provided that it makes you happy.

^That. When I go on holidays and everyone is relaxing by the pool I say f*ck you I'm not here to be lazy. If I wanted to do that I'd have stayed by the pool at home or laze on the couch. I want to see things, go places.

I'm equal portions of both of the above. I want to see and do and soak in as much as possible, but I also love the decadent sloth that is lounging on a sun-drenched beach sipping cocktails and reading a good book.

Can't say I've ever made a list, but I very much enjoyed reading yours.

Attending the Ashes in the UK will be ticked off my imaginary list this year .. Was meant to happen in 2001, but better late than never!

I must say. One of best on my bucket list (Which I have achieved) would be:

Ski the Thredbo Supertrail. While not a hard ski. It's bloody long and Australian snow/powder is average compared to other places in the world. Alas, I proved that point when I injured myself last-year.

That really should be on mine. Due an update, I'd say.

A damn good reason to start a bucket list, I'd say. I just started mine because I was chained to a desk working for iiNet last year :lol:

Thinking about this more I've ticked off a couple in 2012 that would have been on my list .. Got on bended knee to propose to my girlfriend (with a positive response of course) and scored my first hundred.

Especially in the case of the proposal, it's one of those things 'you just gotta do' in life. Probably common to many a bucket list.

I'm in the process of expanding my site's bucket list from 323 to an even 1000.

Suggestions? :sarcasm:
