The Bucket List

According to some guy whose sanity is in question, the world is ending this Saturday, the 21st of May 2011. This is the same guy who said that the world would end in December 1994, yet look where we are now. (Remember the guys who dug out caves in some part of western Kenya some time ago because the world was ending? What ever happened to them?!? Someone really ought to go check on them. They could still be there thinking the world ended...)
I was just thinking though, if indeed the world was to end on Saturday, there’s so many things on my bucket list that I still haven’t done.
Random question: ever wondered where the term ‘bucket list’ came from? Is it from the proverbial bucket that we are supposed to kick in an effort to hang on to dear life?
Back to my bucket list...I still haven’t climbed a mountain of note, I haven’t become famous yet (let’s not lie, we all want fame and fortune), I still haven’t driven a Bugatti Veyron,

this car is too sexy


 and of course, I haven’t yet done anything in life for myself – become a good doctor that made an impact, no matter how small, in someone’s life, and changed it for the better. Plus there’s the clichéd getting married and having kids and blah, blah, blah.
A friend of mine told me if indeed the end of the world was to come while he was still around, it would find him in a club partying the rest of his life away. Food for thought: if you knew the world would end on a particular date, what would you do? Cry? Get saved like R. Kelly? Kill yourself so that you don’t have to see Jesus coming?
This song seems very appropriate with the current end-of-the-world situation going on, don’t you think?
