Are bucket lists useful?

October 20, 2013 /

The forecast of the weekend was rain rain rain.
But Friday night had the promise of a dry sky until 4am…….. the weather service was wrong 🙁

You can see how restless and mildly tormented I am in this mini vlog.
After a long week at work I saw gagging to go out for the ride to clear my head.

The current contract I’m working on ends in a couple of weeks and I haven’t had any holiday this year.
There’s a couple of things that are a must do/experience before I die and I have the time after work ends to do it.

But should I hang on to my money instead until I find another job …. or should I do it anyway?

    Make it as you go… well, somethings require same planning, but don’t plan it to much, otherwise you’ll end up not getting out of the house!

    like Skeggy Cruiser said do what you want while your young and able. If you wait to long you may end up disabled old & broke & not be able to do all those things you wanted to. Never finished my list of to do things & never will now

    I think everyone should have goals in their life, otherwise you’re just meandering through wasting your time.

    True.I think there are 2 lists in it though. The “would like to do” and the “I have to do”.This one is in the “have to” list 🙂

    In my experience, if you approach change with a positive outlook then it almost always turns out as good or better than you hoped :)Hope the new job’s going well and the boss hasn’t decapitated anyone by mistake 🙂

    Kinda, although I don’t understand why people wait until Jan1st to make an important change in their life when they can do it now?

    Cheers Nell.There’s other things happening at Chez Weem which is why I’m hesitating. I’ll probably go for it anyway … 😀

    Are we Talking Bucket list or Fire Bucket List? One problem with a bucket list is, A), ya never really know how long ya gunna live, and B), You could live long enough but end up Disabled like me limiting what you can do, Thankfully I got mine out of the way Years ago in the Army, But I’ve also found that you still tend to add to it, Ride Safe Buddy.

    No.1 on my bucket list is addressed wednesday with my mod2.No.2 is to survive into my 80’s to watch the continuing urbanisation of our lovely land and swear a lot about it.No.3 is to get a lot of money,buy a detached house with land,build walls and mini guard towers and staff them with dwarf latvians.

    I always thought a Bucket List was a list of the girls off Geordie Shore that you want to shag

    I think they are useful…as they can get you thinking about what you want to do, instead of just living. They get you thinking about all the things you wanted to do and want to still do. And it’s always a changing list…

    It’s a tough one to be honest mate… I was unhappy in my previous job and had planned an epic trip, but since then I’ve had a massive stroke of luck work-wise and I think I’m better off putting that bucket-item on hold for now. I think now I’m in a better position to make it happen further on down the line. I hope I’m not wrong.

    I think at the top of my bucket list would to be a competitor in the TT course, or, if I’m not too brilliant on a bike, compete in the BTCC 😀

      Oooooh … a man after my own heart.
      The TT is crazy business tho. It’s basically 38 miles of bucking bronco at 130mph. Crazy 😀
