Taylor, Austin: Bucket List


Life is a journey and I have been traveling this road for 18 years. As I continue on this road there are a few stops I would like to make and a few places I must go before the end of my journey. These stops and these places are my bucket list. 

One of the first things on my bucket list is to record an album. I listen to a lot of music and I truly enjoy music of different genres. To one day be able to express my love for music with an actual album or mixtape would be a wonderful experience. My music would not have to sell or be extremely popular, it would simply be a means of satisfying my love for music and scratching one more thing off of my bucket list.

Another interesting thing I’d like to do before I die is to preach a sermon. This may seem weird to some and out of the blue. But, since I was a kid I secretly thought it would be cool to preach at least once. I’d like to impress the people of my church with some of the wisdom I’ve garnered in my 18 years of life.

The most important thing I want to do is raise a son. Raising children is important and to me it necessary to keep one’s family line going. I really want that photo of my dad in old age with me holding my son symbolizing three generations of Taylor manhood!

One of the dreams I have had the longest since a child is to visit Japan. Ever since I was young I have enjoyed the Japanese culture. I even taught myself a little bit of Japanese when I was about 11. I would absolutely love to one day satisfy my desire to experience their culture first hand by going to Tokyo before I die.
