Bucket List: Work With Disney

Bucket List #62: Working with Disney.

This is a prime example why. I'll probably be retired, dying from cancer and write them a letter saying, I'm about to die asking to fulfill a lifetime dream and they will stick me to work the hotdog stand. But to be perfectly honest that would be a dream come true. There is some thing to be said about that Disney Magic. Its difficult to make everything seem so incredibly magnificent. That anything can happen. Even the most impossible things.

Anyone who has ever visited a Disney theme park knows the amount of care and thought that goes into everything they do. It feels like no decision is taken lightly and everything is meant to create a 'magical experience'.

Long story short, I want to work at Disney or with Disney. Sooner or later, it's going to happen.

Wanderers - A Short Film By Erik Wernquist

A friend of mine who is fascinated by space and science posted this short film on my Facebook page. It's not your typical travel video, since all the scenes are fake, but it does inspire me. Again, a beautifully shot video with an inspirational voice over and I'm a goner.

Number 61 on my Bucket List is "Go to space"; I know this may seem a little unrealistic, but I kind of don't care. I really want to go to space. How cool would that be? Like, super cool, thats how cool. We are advancing so rapidly, I think its only a matter of time before we get there. Whether its through necessity or want, sooner or later we are going to expand to the rest of this universe. Sometimes being a wanderer means going somewhere uncharted. Space is full of exploration possibilities. I'm looking forward to when we have the opportunity to investigate it further.

Although the images are fake, the film is based off of scientific ideas. All the locations are places in space recreated based on real photos and map data. Its amazing the amount of thought went into this video. If you are interested in the places depicted, take a gander at the gallery section, it has additional information explaining what you are seeing.

Since this isn't really a reality right now, enjoy the video and dream of the next phase of exploration. If you want to check out a High-Def version of this video check it out here. Also check out Erik Wernquist's site, this guy is an astonishingly talented digital artist and you should check out more of his stuff.

So if you had to explore space where would you want to go? A Black Hole? The Sun? Mars? Take your pick and let me know in the comments down below.

Bucket Lists

Now that you've watched Morgan Freeman explain what a Bucket List is; I should let you know that I love Bucket Lists.

I actually forgot I made a Bucket List from when I was like 13 or 14 then I found it and I was like, 'Hey, this is a good place to start but maybe put stuff on there that someone older than 13 would want to do.' So then I started adding to it, and from that the Ever Growing Bucket List was created. Pretty much every year on my birthday I add 5 more things to the list. They range from big long term impractical goals, to small things I could probably achieve tomorrow. For example,

30. Learn 3 other languages.

56. TP a house.

61. Go to Space.

Bucket Lists are good because they can focus your life. A list of things you should be doing with your life. They may not necessarily make your life better, or you may not get the experience you thought you would get. But at some point you thought this thing was important enough for you to say I want to do that with my life. My Bucket List, keeps me grounded. Sometimes when I'm feeling lost, I look at it and it reminds me of what I should be doing. Travel is a huge part of that since, most of the items are just things I need to go and see. From what I gather most people have at least one travel item on their list, and I think thats because travel is such a huge life goal; everyone knows they should probably be doing more of it.

Seeing someones Bucket List also gives you a good understanding of a person's inner-thinkings. This guy (Matt Bray), actually has a great bucket list and is recording most of his accomplishments on his YouTube channel, ProjectOneLife. You may remember him from my post on 100 Days of Dance. Its pretty epic and throughly enjoy watching this guy just live life.

Also, there was a pretty spectacular teenager by the name of Rebecca Draper Townsend who was in the news for pushing her friend out of the way of a truck, saving her friend's life. Her bucket list was short and sweet.

• Kiss in the rain.
• Fly to Spain.
• Save a life.

I don't think she had any idea of what that meant to write, but I'm impressed by her story and her balls to follow through. Check out more of Rebecca's story here in this SourceFed article, and for more check out the Facebook Community growing around her story.

On that note, do you have a Bucket List? If so, whats on it? Not that I'm being nosey, I'm just interested in what you plan on accomplishing by yourself. Because number 23 should definitely be Finish an XL Pizza alone.

100 Places of Dance

My best dance move is 'The Sprinkler', so watching this dude bust a move, all over the place is hella  inspiring to me. He started with 100 Days of Dance and upgraded to 100 Places of Dance.

I'm a big fan of Bucket Lists and this guys is doing it right. He's dancing and he's traveling. Generally just winning. From the looks of it, he's all about living life to the fullest and having as much fun as possible which no one should have a problem with.

His Bucket List is extensive. And if his youtube channel is accurate he recently quit his job to travel and cross off a few of those items. Good Luck! Its hard living life to the fullest, and even harder doing it and trying to support yourself through YouTube. So, I say give it a few watches in support.

Check out his YouTube channel at ProjectOneLife.
And his Facebook page here.
