My Bucket List

Did you ever see the movie "The Bucket List?" It's about these two guys who are both diagnosed with a terminally ill sickness. They both come from opposite sides of life; one has an excellent family life, but isn't the wealthiest guy in the world, and the other is extremely rich, but has no family life and a terrible social life. They decide that they are going to make a list of outrageous things to do before they die.
  It seems every day something new comes out based on this philosophy of living each day like it's your last. MTV's the Buried Life also toys around with the idea of doing crazy things before you die. A lot of people have began to write bucket lists since this new phenomenon, and I've been working at mine for a few months now. Every day it seems to grow by at least a point or two, though!
