My [UPDATED] Bucket List

My name is David Moraes and I am a 20-year old living in Brazil. I decided it was about time to start a new blog. Hopefully it will be filled with interesting observations about life in general and personal stories of mine. If you would like to, feel free to leave a comment and drop in a few lines about yourself. I hereby invite you to embark on this little adventure.

Yesterday afternoon I went out for a walk with my friend Caleb Hunter. In the midst of our random threads of conversation we talked about making bucket lists. I do believe I had previously thought about doing this, but had never really made it happen. So, motivated by Caleb, we both sat down and carefully concocted our 50 items. This is how mine turned out:

1. Get married.
2. Do something really spontaneous at the top of the Eiffel Tower.
3. Learn how to say “I love you” in at least 20 languages.
4. Get a book published.
5. Go to Israel.
6. Prepare a picnic for your girlfriend at the beach, at night.
7. Turn 50.
8. Go scuba-diving.
9. Roll in mud with a good friend.
10. Write at least 50 songs.
11. Watch all James Bond movies.
12. Go to Disneyland.
