A bucket list, a list that brings
your last moments of existence down to words on a page, or raises them up in
immortalized glory. That being said, let’s get this started.
Number one: publish a book of
poetry. Why? It would be a huge milestone. Not because it’s a book, but because
it will mark my place in literary history. As a human being it will mark me, no
longer a speck in the stream of life, but a steel block instead. Personally, I
want others to feel the words I
write. I want to be listed among the greats such as Poe, Cummings, or Plath.
Number two: make a positive change
in someone else’s life. I don’t want it to make myself look good like the “good
guy,” but because I want to. There is nothing better in this world than
happiness, whether from a good joke or a long lasting friendship, it changes
your life in some way.
Number three: run for political
office. This would be purely for my amusement. I don’t think anybody can run
this country perfectly; there are too many different factions. I would love to
tear all that apart and start over.
Number four: achieve my PhD. It
would validate my education and cement my role in society. Not only that but it
would be a finalization of everything that I’ve worked for. Besides, I think
Dr. Kedar J. McLelland has a nice ring to it.
Number five: write a five movement
musical piece. Music is my passion, it’s been a part of my life ever since I
was young and it will always be that way. The reason for five movements?
Because some of the greatest musical pieces have multiple movements that tell a
story, and telling stories is a
cultural thing.
And in a nutshell, that would be my
list.
