Live Like You're Dying

       This song completely covers the topic of seizing the day, or "living like your dying." By saying: We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to Turn it all around or to throw it all away, it is making the point that there's too little time to waste.  There's no time to waste, therefore every moment should be lived to the fullest. People should take the time everyday to "turn it around," or make things right in other words. There's limited time to see people, be with people, and enjoy them, so might as well not spend the time arguing or fighting or something.  The song mentions how we don't say I love you enough, I do agree with that, but i'm not so sure that's something I'd miss too much.

Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up

We're hiding behind skin that's too tough

How come we don't say I love you enough

Till it's too late, it's not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come

And we could make a feast from these crumbs

And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun

So if your life flashed before you,

What would you wish you would've done

Yeah, we gotta start

Looking at the hands of the time we've been given

If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking

If every second counts on a clock that's ticking

Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell them that we love them

While we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying

And if your plane fell out of the skies

Who would you call with your last goodbye

Should be so careful who we let fall outta our lives

So when we long for absolution,

There'll no one on the line, yeah

Yeah, we gotta start

Looking at the hands of the time we've been given

If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking

If every second counts on a clock that's ticking

Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell them that we love them

While we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying

Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying..

Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell them that we love them

While we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying

You never know a good thing till it's gone

You never see a crash till it's head on

Why do we think we're right when we're dead wrong

You never know a good thing till it's gone

Yeah, we gotta start

Looking at the hands of the time we've been given

If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking

If every second counts on a clock that's ticking

Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell them that we love them

While we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying

Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying..

Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell them that we love them

While we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying..

Go to a masquerade ball

I've wanted to go to a masquerade ball for the longest time now. I can't quite remember when or the exact reason why, but its been a while.

Now i just have to go back to Placita Olver a and get that mask i wanted.. my aunt did say she'd buy it for me if i had somewhere to go..

Visit one of the people I met at the Expo in China

This past summer, going to the 2012 Shanghai International Youth Science & Technology Expo, I met many new friends from a lot of different countries. There were other Americans there too, but people from Australia, China of course, England, Finland, Germany, India, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Mexico, and Singapore also attended. Out of all these people i got to talk to, and hang out with, the reality is that i'll really won't keep in touch with all of them. There are few i still talk to, so one day i'd like to go see them in their own countries.

Stay in the Burj Al Arab Hotel

This the world's ONLY seven-star hotel; the exact reason i'd like to stay there someday. Its the fourth tallest hotel in the world. I only found out about this hotel when i was stuck while making my list. I googled "bucket list ideas" and clicked on one of the first links there. It was the page with 225 bucket list ideas that i found this hotel. Seeing the architecture, and the view that it had interested me to read about it, and when i read the little caption under it, i totally wanted to go. 

Ride a Ferris Wheel

This is the view from the top of the Sky Tower at Six Flags.

Going on a Ferris wheel is on my list so i can face the fear of height that i have. I've tried rollercoasters, and although they are kind of fun, its not something I'd voluntarily do again. Just on that elevator ride in  the Sky Tower was bad enough. By about 175ft up, i couldnt even look down anymore. Most of the time i cant even handle looking over the rail in a three-story building, much less one 38-stories high.

Learn how to play the violin as a fiddle

Bad Bob Rohan; famous Texan Fiddler

               

Last year, I took Beginning Orchestra and played the violin. I liked the instrument, and the music we played, but I wanted to use it not only as a violin, but a fiddle. Same instrument, different sound. I knew how to play classical, but i wanted to see the otherside to that instrument. Country music with a fiddle sounds really fun to play, hard and fast, but fun. I'm not saying i want to play it like that forever, just like a song or two.
