My Anti-Bucket List

The things I don't want to do before I die

My Anti-Bucket List

The Anti-Bucket List. Let me explain...Most people know or have a Bucket List-a series of things a person wants to do or places they want to travel before they "kick the bucket."

An Anti-bucket list is a list of all the things a person DOESN'T want to do before they die.

Some of these things might be on someone's bucket list, but they certainly are not on mine. This idea has definitely intrigued me the past few weeks and it was certainly hard to come up with things. I am open to sky-diving and swimming with sharks...trying fun adventurous things...so it was really challenging and enjoyable to figure out what I don't want to do before I die:

1.Ice fishing

Not a fan of fishing. Or freezing.

2.Skiing/snowboarding

I really do not like being cold.


3.Be a member of a studio audience

There's a difference in watching Trashy TV and being on Trashy TV

4.Spend the night in a haunted place

I think I am too late on this one.... @Montevallo

5.See a tornado touch ground

I saw the movie Wizard of OZ, Twister, and Sharknado. That was enough windy spirals of death.


6.Go to a nudist colony

Why is this even a thing.

7.Ride a bull

Not even if its a bull named Fumanchu.

8.Crowd surf

Maybe its that a ton of dirty sweaty strangers touching me doesn't sound appealing or maybe I have seen too many movies where its gone wrong.


9.Tour the White house

Give me a tour of a castle instead!

10.Go vegan

One word: Steak.

11.Serve on a jury

I have seen Legally Blonde and that is all the courtroom experience I hope to have.


12.Go to the bathroom in a port a potty ever again.

Give me a bush instead

13.Do drugs

I don't mean Advil here kiddos...

14.Go to prison/get arrested

I am too much of a Bubble Blowing Baby to go to Prison.


15.Get an oil painting of myself

Maybe of my future pet though...

16.Eat worms

Unless in gummy form.

17. Go hunting

Hiking in the woods in ridiculous clothing? I can do that. Shooting an innocent animal for FUN? No, Thank you and goodnight.



Now of course I can't say "never means never," but certainly these are things I hope I never do. These things on the other hand do help me narrow down what I do want to do in my life time and are very interesting to think about. I hope you're inspired enough to make your own "Anti-Bucket List" or even a regular one!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
