well as some of you will know the very reason my bucket list came into existence was after a careers advisor told me drumming or a career in music was a stupid idea ' yep she really said stupid' and since then i have added to change and even completed parts of my list.

so i thought during this time of good will and merry bliss i would update you.
i am now studying at university music of course,
and have had the great fortune of playing with many talented musicians, recently i even had the pleasure of performing at birmingham's Nation indoor Arena in front of 8,000 on two consecutive nights and i can tell you that was a far from stupid career choice.

however this journey and list has proved more than just me accomplishing some goals and having some fun, it has shown me that you need to dream now matter how stupid, small, big or insignificant they seem to others we all have dreams that we wish to accomplish. and when we try and put our dreams into motion even if they don't turn out exactly how we planned they can change our lives. not just how we live but our abilities and willingness to live.

throughout this adventure of self discovery you awesome guys and gals have also been helping to raise some money for make a wish foundation so a big christmas thanks to you too, the children whose lives you have transformed with your generous donations have all dared to dream, so what is stopping you don't let circumstance stop you open my post how to create a bucket list and start yours today instead of giving something up for new years why not start a life transforming journey of self discovery instead?

how to create a bucket list

ok first things first.

some of you may wonder what a bucket list is.

well it's a list of things you wish to achieve during your life time. personal goals you set your self.

or maybe unusual past times you wish to try. they can be a ridiculous or as sentimental as you wish them to be.

think your too old think again http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7717680.stm this man was 93 years old. it's never too late, why leave it for some day, stop putting it off for some day and write your list now!

headings to consider.

personal growth; maybe you wish to learn an instrument, or go back into education, maybe get that degree you promised yourself, or maybe you wish to give back and mentor someone else! right a wrong, be a better person, help a stranger.

food and drink; is there a food you have only ever dreamed of trying? or maybe go vegetarian or vegan for a week,month,year

travel; where do you wish to go, maybe you want to take your children to visit where you or relatives grew up, perhaps you wish to host strangers, or you could maybe do a house swap (you live in someone else's house why they live in yours cheap holiday) all 50 states of USA, roadtrip

career; after a promotion, or want to start a business, maybe encourage someone else to start a business.

family; have a family, pass on a nugget of wisdom, send parents/grandparents on dream trip, be a better person.

experience: a flashback, skydive, bungee jump, a moment of extreme terror, a moment of extreme bliss.

invent or discover something; maybe you hold the key to the cure for the common cold, or have a idea for a boardgame perhaps.

sport; compete in a marathon, see Olympics live, try wind surfing, run a 6 minute mile, learn a new sport like tennis, golf,basketball, make a hole in one.

learn a language, perhaps French, Spanish, Latin, Italian, or mandarin. or if becoming fluent is too much why not learn popular phrases or sentence. (as this is something on my list i will post some sentences over sometime so watch this space.)

maybe entertainment is more you thing why not try; stand up comedy, being an extra in a film/TV show, be a member of the audience, learn an instrument, recite poetry, watch the top 500 film of all times (also on my list watch this space)

dances to try; rumba, salsa, tango, foxtrot, or just make a fool of yourself more often at parties.

adventures to go on; perhaps a trek in the woods, or scuba dive great barrier reef,

what ever your ideas have ago the thinking them up bit is the easiest the ticking them off is the hardest.
