Solar Eclipses
Updates to my “Things to do before I die” list….
1. Get a few tattoos
2. Lose virginity
3. Become awesome at the guitar/ write one song to be sung by someone famous
4. Be famous (as an author)
5. Meet one many more celebrities
6. ??Have a child??
61/2. Swim with sharks
7. See a solar eclipse
8. Take cruises in all the world’s oceans
9. See northern lights
10. Travel to Cairo
11. Shave my head
12. Live in Europe
13. Learn to sew my own clothes
14. Get tied up during sex
15. Party in Las Vegas
16. See David Bowie in concert
17. See Meat loaf in concert
and I’m sure there’s many many more. I’ve kicked out a few, like apologizing to certain people. Sure, I still want to do it, but it’s not a necessity. One day, I will talk to some of the old buddies that I’ve wronged along the way. Hopefully that’s before I complete number 61/2., just in case…
Prompt:
Yesterday there was a Solar Eclipse, which the Internet says was breathtaking… lol. Obviously I didn’t get to see it, and it was the reason to rethink my list. Unfortunately, solar eclipses are hard to come by. Name the thing you desire to experience the most, and then think about the availability of that experience. Does the availability damper your desire or intensify your desire?
