I'm sure everyone has a bucket list. I know I do. I have long list of insane crazy things and tame things I want to do in this life.
I don't have a lot of time to list every single thing that is on my bucket list; so I'm going to focus on the six main things that are the most important to me.
1) I would love to meet the one person that I consider Canada's living saint. His holiness number 99 Wayne Gretzky. From the first time I seen him play hockey. I was hooked with how he played the game. When you see someone play like he did, that will leave a lasting impression to any four year old. He had an incredible work ethic and played a game that he loved.

2) To some people this one seems silly and pointless, but its part of my bucket list. I want to ride an ostrich. Yes that's exactly what I just said. I know it may sound insane but this one has been on my list for quite some time. I remember watching on tv with my parents, and there was a woman travelling in Africa and she was riding an ostrich. I blurted out to my parents I want to do that. My mom looked at me as I was crazy, and my father was shaking his head thinking he's going to kill himself before I have grandchildren. I proceeded to email every ostrich farm in Canada to ask them if they allow or charge for riding ostriches' every one them said no and to never email them again. I'm completely aware that these flightless birds have a nasty temperament, but I still want to try it.

3) To stand on all five Great Lakes. In the area of North America I live in, I'm in close proximity to these bodies of water. I know as you're reading this, you're thinking "stand?" Its pretty easy to do this in the winter. So far I have stood on three of the five lakes(Erie, Ontario, Huron). I will stand on Superior and Michigan at some point.

4) I would love to get a photo of a lightning strike with my cell phones or DSLR. It's a very difficult thing to get mainly because timing is everything with such a precision shot also I don't want to forget with the potential of how dangerous it can be. But I still want to try to get that beautiful shot.

5) Zipline over Niagara Falls. Initially it was just ziplining on its own. But as of this year this is something that can be done on the Canadian side of the Niagara Falls. It freaked out a lot of my friends when I expressed an interest in it. So, I hope I can do this and video record the experience.

6) Last but not least. Skydiving. I want to try this as well. I know heights will freak out a lot of people, but I want to try it. There is place I found that is a good place for sky diving and get the proper training.

Now that I shared this, I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did piecing this together.
