Bucket List

Life from here on out is going to be like trick skydiving without a parachute. Free falling is inexplicably awesome, as is life. At the end of both is certain death. So I'd best get started on pulling as many awesome stunts in the air as I can before I hit the ground.

A bucket list is a must to set goals for yourself, goals that you need to achieve to complete yourself. I myself am only a fragment of who I want to be when I leave this world, so I should get working. I'm separating this list into "Achieved," "Average," and "Challenging" goals. Some of them may never be reached, because they are lifestyles that contradict one another, but I'll call them "Challenging" because IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING.I will continually update this indefinitely as I reach these goals and add new ones:
