Bucket List update again

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 now that it is June and I only have 30 months left to finish the list I thought I'd update you again on progress, with new info 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 done a little writing, but mostly on my short story, not my novel.

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. She is busy touring with Adam Lambert, but I'm sure she'll get back to me after the tour.

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...come on LOTTO!!!

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 still delayed by me having no way to contact Zooey, she doesn't Twitter enough...might need to switch to Rachel Nichols, she has responded to multiple tweets, and seems cool.

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, not looking good since mom is now in nursing care for her broken pelvis.

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. Her tour is wrapping up, hoping she will read my tweets now.

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. Nothing new since last update.


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, still waiting on responses on Twitter...keeping fingers crossed.

9} Spend a month on tour with U2. Maybe get invited up onstage by Bono. On delay till BONO recovers from back surgery.

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 stil looking like the best bet since her dad has a studio in Redlands. Trying to recover from embarrassment over not saving picture at last meeting and working up nerve to met her again.

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!!!
