Bucket list update

Back in November I posted my Bucket List. Of course, I'm not dying of anything terminal, other than Life itself, but since "they" are saying the world is going to end in 2012, I didn't want to miss the chance to make a bucket list. So I made one, and thought today would be a good day to update you on how I'm doing on said list. So I'll reprint the list, with new updates in red:

Steve's Bucket List:

1} Finish writing my novel and get it published. This is a long-time goal, and now the end of the world is just giving me motivation to work faster. Have not worked on my writing yet this year...I will again soon...I hope.

2}Take a guitar lesson from Orianthi. She is the amazing guitarist from the Michael Jackson THIS IS IT movie, and to just spend an hour learning from her would be amazing. I've messaged her a few times on Twitter, and she even follows me there, but has not responded to me yet.

3} Spend a month traveling in England and Ireland. I figure it would take at least a month to find all the historical, but not touristy spots. Waiting for financing...

4} Star in, or direct a movie with Zooey Deshanel. Maybe my friend Beau could produce it. She is one of my favorite actresses, and I'd love to work with her. Talks are currently delayed by me having no way to contact Zooey, might have to see if Beau could get me in touch.

5} Spend a day at the park with just my kids and my parents. Sounds easy enough, but if you understood my family situation, you'd know this is probably the wildest thing on my list. No progress to report here.

6} Write a song with Taylor Swift. I'd let her sing it, since my voice would make people pray for the end of the world. plus with her singing it would be a sure hit. Taylor is currently hard at work recording album 3 and preparing for this years tour, and has not responded to my tweets.

7} Get together and hang out for at least part of a day catching up with as many of my Facebook friends as I can. Since my Toyota friends I can see any time, I won't count those, sorry. This is where I can report the most progress: In October I hooked up with my friend Beau who I hadn"t seen since college, we hung out before the U2 concert. This month I have has lunch with my friends Adam, and John, both from my KLoRD days who I hadn't seen in 14 or 15 years. Very good time catching up on all accounts. Looking forward to more meetings soon.

Me and Beau

John

8} Have lunch or dinner with Ashley Greene (from Twilight). Her character is so sweet, and from what I hear, she is too. Once again, waiting on responses on Twitter...keeping fingers crossed.

9} Spend a month on tour with U2. Maybe get invited up onstage by Bono. So far no luck contacting the band, may have to sneak in backstage when they come to Anahiem this spring.

10} Take a dance lesson from one of my favorite Dancing with the Stars pros, either Lacey Schwimmer, Chelsie Hightower, or Julianne Hough. So far Lacey is looking like the best bet since her dad has a studio in Redlands. I actually met her this week. I would show you a picture to prove it, but I forgot to hit save...dummy dummy!

OOPS I have a #11 too} To see a sunrise and sunset on every continent. Well, could probably skip Antarctica. Still stuck on North America...as with England trip, waiting on financing...Come on lotto!!!
