Gaining inspiration from Nicole Blach at Making it Lovely, The Buried Life, and of course the movie Bucket List, I created this list to document my aspirations in hopes to become a Bucket Listologist- defined here. This list is intended for reminiscing (even if 12 have been pre-crossed off) and inspiration to others. You may think it may not be fair to put on past achievements, but

I would totally help you with the boudoir session, just airbrush the hell out of me! I actually had wanted to have boudoir pics done as a wedding gift to Kyle, but it wasn't in the budget at the time, weddings are expensive!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a lot of fun!
DeleteAwesome page. I love the idea of tracking your experiences. I do it myself through short stories and poetry. I heard an Avenged Sevenfold song on the radio today. Never really listened to them before but I’m surprised you dig them, it’s some pretty hard shit. I don’t know if I’ve ever talked to you about Metallica (or Black Sabbath for that matter) but I can guarantee that they had to have been a huge influence on Avenged Sevenfold just by the sound of the music. You should check out Master of Puppets if you’ve never really listened to them.
ReplyDeleteAlso I love this from another page of yours:
“It was this moment in time I realized: I can and should follow my passions and dreams. Maybe it stemmed from two amazing seminars I attended, a major assignment failure, and sensing my own and others struggles to be happy. Call it a triple threat? The cliché saying “it’s now or never” really hit home.”
Sounds a lot like why I left our previous employer. As Metallica put it so eloquently, “fuck it all with fucking no regrets.” (Pardon my vulgarity.)
I know you’re focused on this, but if you’re ever looking for some additional income we can always use additional people who are motivated and bright and I’m sure you’d fit right in. It’s really a great career because you control your own destiny and your job is basically helping people.
Keep up the good work T.
Hi Matt,
DeleteGood to hear from you! I'll definitely keep the position in mind if things don't work out.
I appreciate all the kind words.
My personal music preference is Heavy Metal first. I've been to TONS of concerts, even been to Metallica at least twice that I can remember. It's too bad Ozzfest only has one show (in TX or Japan this year), Mr. Osbourne himself has crazy energy even at his age. It's interesting to see how rock evolved. Without a doubt many of the bands I grew up with had an influence from many bands in that era.
Watch "Cliff 'Em All" if you never have. Watching it right now myself. It's awesome. RIP CLIFF
DeleteI know you mentioned a possible photo page aside from the blog...still in the works? Sorry, I'm just super excited!!!
ReplyDeleteOh it is still, very much, in the works. It's been pushed out just a bit further because of some blog conference prep.
DeleteP.S. feel free to keep talking to me about it so it doesn't slip away!
DeleteKyle says I nag!
DeleteDon't forget June 11th!!!
DeleteI would never! Can't wait, I better capture that face!
