First, with the Mayan calendar prediction that the world will end  on December 21, I want to thank anyone who has taken the time to read my babble.  This blog has been a timely outlet for me as well as, really great fun.  I never knew this world of creativity existed until I decided to try something new in August.  I’ve met some  awesome, smart, cool and artsy folks in my travels here.  Photographers, writers, comedians, wierdos…you name it.   I’ve discovered that I actually like to read as long as its 1200 words or less.

Since some of you will likely die before reading this post, well, not much to say other than I wish you the best wherever you end up.  Hopefully, I will see you in the after-life and maybe then we can catch-up on this post.  I would want nothing more than to be Freshly Pressed in heaven.  Can you imagine the angels blowing their regal horns as they present me with the FP holy recognition award in a  nimbo-cumulus cloud?  Hell, I’d just like to make it into the pearly gates! Oxy-moron much.

Well, time is quickly fleeting and I have less than two days to get my top 5 list completed, planned and executed.  Needless to say, this will be a very busy 48-hours for me.  In no particular order and solely based on complete randomness, here are my top 5 things to do before the world ceases to exist:

______________________________________

1.  I’d like to play President Obama in a basketball game, on the white houses official BB court.  Secret service would take and post Instagram photos as I dismantle the Commander in Chief with drives to the basket, 20 foot jump shots and a ocassional slam dunk.   Shortly thereafter, we’d drink an ice-cold Heineken as I trash talk about my decisive victory. He’d puff on a cigarette if he so desired.

2.  I would like to go sky-diving.  In fact I have it planned for my May 2013 birthday, but I’d likely be unavailable considering my eminent doom lurking around the corner. 

3.  I want to be 007.  I want an Aston Martin DB5 or any model for just 24 hours.  I’ll speed down Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu with the Skyfall soundtrack blaring in the background, shooting-off rounds into the sky, uninhibited, no police, President Obama riding shot-gun, and the wind blowing against my hair bald head.

4.  I’d like to take Air Force 1 to Greece and spend the night of the 20th in the Royal Villa at the Grand Resort Lagonissi, Athens.  All expenses paid of course…

5.  Most importantly, I’d like to time travel back to circa 1930 or 1940 to Costa Rica and meet my dad in his youth.  We had the typical old school dad/son relationship.  We didn’t talk much, there was a lot of respect and jokes and such, but I really didn’t get a chance to know him before he passed away.  We’d be best friends.

So, there you have it.  My top 5 bucket list items.  We’ll see what happens.  Chances are the world will not end and I’ll have this huge credit card bill greeting me in 30 days.   Does my list compare to yours…what would your top 2 or 3 look like considering your Mayan demise on deciembre 21st?
