Hi Everyone!
A "bucket list" is a term used to catalogue all the things you want to do before you die. It first came in prominence in the 2007 movie of the same name starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. I have seen "bucket list" apps, questionnaires on Facebook, emails, and greeting cards. Like most people, I have somet things I most definitely plan to do before I die and some I think about, but can't be sure I'll ever accomplish. Katrina Lester suggested that we do our own bucket lists for a blog and it seems like a good time to do it so, here are the requirements:
- Your list must be formatted like a list (note how these requirements are in list format?)
- Your list must contain at least fifteen things that anyone can accomplish in their lifetime
- Your list must contain at least ten things that would be difficult, but not impossible to accomplish
- Your list must be believable
- Your final item may be something that is entirely improbable, impossible, but you would still like to try
- Your list must be spell checked and grammar checked. *I am no longer going easy on you if you can't be bothered to do this. If you have misspellings or are still not capitalizing your name, the pronoun "I", and other items like that, you will not receive a passing grade for this blog.
- You must sign your blog. If you don't, you will receive a grade of zero.
Have fun with this one! It is due by 3PM on Friday, February 15. I know we don't have school then, but it is still the deadline.
For your response to a peer, due by 3PM on Friday, February 22, please comment specifically on at least five items on a peer's bucket list. Again, spelling, grammar, and signing your name can make or break you on this one.

DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteBevis I think that you have a very good bucket list. I think that you could build your own hose but it would be pretty hard. It probably would be good if you graduated and if you make your own pond I will be their to fish with you. If you saved someone life you would be Bevis the hero. I think if you want to make a computer like th one on iron man that you be pretty cool. You should make me one too.

Mr. Patrick Brown, I find your bucket list very entertaining. The five that I like the most are rubbing two pieces of fire together to make wood, drowning a fish, throw a bird off a cliff and kill it, play in traffic and get hit by a boat, and hugging a hungry tiger that has rabies. Honestly I don’t think that any of these are really possible but I guess you could try. And if you were to succeed then I would have to reward with a prize. That prize would be an old wrench used by a Mexican guy named Lopez.
Delete- Dan Koch
Patrick,
DeleteI really enjoy your bucket list. It's very unique and interested. As soon as I started to read your list I was very intrigued! I hope you can accomplish all of these because that would be pretty epic! Eating a dinosaur will be a little bit difficult considering they are now extinct, but that would be pretty cool. I consider myself to have dround a fish once. It was my first pet and I just wanted to pet the fish but instead I dround it...haha. Racing a cheetah and winning would be legendary! Surfing to Australia would be a pretty crazy time! And last but not least throwing a bird off of a cliff and killing it would make that bird look like crap! You did a pretty sweet job on this blog!

Nice bucket list my friend. The five I like the most are have a family, go skydiving, become a great parent for your future kids, find a cure for autism, and lastly become the owner of my own country. The reason why I like first one I chose "having a family" is because that is something very special and genuine. The reason why I like the second one "go skydiving" is because I would also like to do that, I would call my self an adreline junky. The reason why I like the third one "become a great parent" is because that means a lot and show's you have a heart and love your future children. The reason why I like the fourth one "find a cure for autism" is because that would save many lives and make people/familys happier which is always good. Lastly the reason why i chose the last one "become the owner of my own country" because who wouldnt want all that power. -Nikolas Spencer
