Okay, time for another half-blog. If you don’t know why I’m not doing the challenges at the moment, looky here.
And the question is, “What do you need to do to feel happy before you die?” Here’s the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjarKFTszGM
One thing I mentioned in the previous post is that I have an extreme fear of heights. In fact, just a few months ago, it worsened.
I was cleaning some really high windows around the Jimmy John’s I work at, standing on top of a tall ladder which was set at the top of a hill leading down to the street. It was very high. And while I was on my tiptoes scrubbing the grime off of the highest windows, the ladder tipped over. For the first time in my adult life, I audibly screamed. I landed on my feet, but the ladder toppled down the hill. That could have been me…. Anyway, cleaning high windows is not on my bucket list.
What is on it, though, is conquering my fear of heights. I want to go skydiving. In fact, I would be achieving both that item on my list and my death itself, because my ideal way to die is voluntarily not pulling the chute during a skydive. Don’t ask me why I’m contemplating suicide, but I really feel the poeticism (which is now a word) of conquering my fear at the same instance as my death. I’d probably chicken out, but yeah, that’s definitely the main thing I want to do before I die.
I would go on, but I’ve already hit 250 words, and I’ve only got 25 minutes left! On to the next half-blog.
