Captain's Blog: Bucket List

I've been thinking about the future a lot lately (probably to ignore the present, but that's a story for another time) and it has dawned on me I should make another bucket list. My bucket lists are things I'd like to accomplish but won't be super down on myself if I don't. More like a life wish list. This will probably be updated again but for now, here we go:

Travel to each continent (Africa, Mainland Asia & South America left)
Learn to ride a motorcycle
Visit every Disney Park in the world
Attend an Olympics
Have an office (which I can decorate however I'd like)
Become a flight attendant/work for an airline
Learn another language and be proficient (American Sign Language, Spanish or French)
Own a old Jeep or Mini Cooper or any car made between 1970 & 1998
Go to San Diego Comic Con or New York Comic Con
Take a Disney Cruise, hopefully to Alaska

Update Jan 2019:

I mentioned in this original post that I would probably update this list

Live abroad in a country in which English is not the first language (like Sweden, or France)
Attend every major world sporting event (World Cup, Tour de France, The Masters, Wimbledon, Superbowl, Grand Prix/Charleston Races etc.)
Have my own garden with Edibles incorporated in the landscape
Work for a botanic garden or food justice organization abroad or that included travel

Update February 2019:
Learn to fly a plane 
Learn to ride a motorcycle 
Have a signature recipe 

Update June 2026: 
Striking through the items I've been able to accomplish. Adding a few more
50 States by 50 (WI, IN, OH, MN, IA, OK, NE, ND, SD,WY, MT, ID, UT, AK, HI = 15)
40 States by 40 (OH, UT, HI, AK, WI, IN, OK, ND, SD, MT = 10)

Decide

The past few weeks I've been having various versions of the same dream. Something happens tragically to J (death, injury, disappearance) and I am not only witnessing it I can't stop it from happening. However, I still try to. I scream, I fight, I look for help, every time and it's always the same outcome. His demise and my sorrow. I mentioned it casually to my therapist who pretty much posed the question: what am I not talking about to him? What am i holding on to that is manifesting in this way? Tonight, he came home after a night out. He was loud, he brought home some folx he'd just met and though he did apologize for not warning me and for the disturbance, he didn't adjust his behavior.  That's when it hit me (well technically 3 hours later when I couldn't sleep) it's the constant lack of consideration and thinking of me (and by extension my needs) that I afford to him. If I've come in from being out...I tiptoe in. I barely turn on lights. I get u...

Captain's Blog: Refocused

So I've been around a lot of reflective people as of late (which isn't surprising...it's the beginning of the year) and initially I just tried to not be as reflective myself.  To be honest, it feels a bit cliche. That being said there's a reason people do it. There's a reason I am going to do it. I want to be purposeful with my time and choices. Means to an end. A satisfactory end. A few posts ago I created a bucket list, think of this as a continuation of sorts to that. So here we go: I want be more active regularly. To me that means manageable fitness goals. I want to play Quidditch again, get back to doing circus arts and ride my bike at least once a week. I want to build new friendships through existing avenues. There are coworkers I adore, pokemon go folks I keep encountering, and neighbors I'd like to cultivate stronger bonds with. I need to actively carve out time for these things while still maintaining time for myself. Whilst I want to cultivate ...
