Bucket lists.

by Syl Mon Jan 16, 2017 5:21 pm

I had never heard of them till a few years ago...now everyone seems to have one.

I suppose the Greek Island of Santorini has been on my bucket list for a few years...as in I have wanted to go but always seem to end up somewhere else. Anyway, yesterday we booked, so in May we are off to see what I have always wanted to see....cant wait.

Do you have a 'Bucket list'? whats on it??

I've always wanted to go there - the daytime photos of that place are stunning!

(No particular order)
My bucket list:

Travel around the world in a scooby doo camper van and sleep under the stars.
Write a book
Find my dream career fall in love with it
Fall in love with a person who will be my best friend and my travel companion and will love and understand my waffle (and will read my book obviously)

I don't have one - don't see the point really.

I only have one left and I will be prosecuted if I put it into script.

Santorini looks so beautiful...some of the photos remind me of an elaborately iced wedding cake.

Your bucket list sounds attainable Eddie.
Travelling is easy, make plans to do that in the next long summer holidays...Kids also love adventures like that..... and writing a book...maybe the book won't be published (and maybe it will) but there is nothing to stop you writing it.
Falling in love can happen anytime....you could meet the love of your life tomorrow, who knows.
Dream career might be the most difficult to find, but you are young and nothing is impossible if you work hard enough.

A bucket list is just another way of looking at things you want to do before you die.
There must be somewhere you have always fancied going, or something you have always wanted to do but never gotten the chance yet?

I want a night with Barbarella...any woman that can break the "excess machine" has just gotta be worth a nights attention...... Shocked

Actually of all the things I listed the dream job might be the most attainable! The rest are things that will or won't happen and I can live quite easily and happily without them.....most days...I think.....perhaps

by Syl Mon Jan 16, 2017 11:15 pm

Amazingly Barbarella or at least the actress who made her famous, is 80 years old this year. Shocked

by Victorismyhero Mon Jan 16, 2017 11:19 pm

I know...terrible really....

but the image of barbarella at her best was burned into my teenaged brain irremoveably

whoar.......

I hope the dream job happens for you Eddie, there can't be anything more boring than being stuck in a job you don't enjoy for years.
Some things we can make happen, others are left up to fate/love/whatever.

Thanks Razz

Also, echoing your words to Eds, writing a book is simple in theory- it just requires a monstrous amont of time and dedication Surprised

Nobuo Uematsu.

He's a Japanese composer- he composed the astonishing orchestral soundtracks to the first 12 Final Fantasy videogames- they are epic- and he tours Cool

Of course!

Here's one of his, one of my faves called One-Winged Angel:

Hope you like it, let me know what you think!

by eddie Tue Jan 17, 2017 12:32 am

Okay. Firstly I hated it, and I hated you for making me listen becasue my ears were hurting...then it went all a bit okay thrash metal, scary but not horrible...Then he lost it again...then at about 5mins it was all guitar and pretty cool then it went all a bit pleasant like an old aunty wrote it and then.... he lost it again.

Interesting and better, but not much better, than some of the shouty girly screaming punk that Ben has made me listen to.

Haha does it help if you know the titular One-Winged Angel is a demonic alien clone that summoned a meteor to destroy the world? No? Really? Lol

To be fair this is a rocky version- mostly he does pure classical. I'll find one more for you later as a last ditch attempt haha on way to work now though...

I don't really have a bucket list, I sort of prefer to just fly by the seat of my pants and enjoy the ride. my plans are incredibly half assed to the point where some think they are a little crazy (buying this farmhouse was one) but I just go "she'll be right mate" and trust things will just work out somehow. Bucket lists. 2190311264

(they generally do, like the farmhouse has)

I would like to swim with the whale sharks at Ningaloo reef
http://www.australia.com/en/places/ningaloo.html
I think I will do that in the next few years, I haven't really ever had holidays before (being a contractor) but the new job is permanent with all paid leave etc, so I will get to do some travel and I have never been to north west Australia.

I cant post videos from work but the life stream music from Final fantasy 7 when Aerith dies or the fights with Sephiroth.

@Eddie
Final Fantasy 7 is more than just a game, it is truly epic of literally biblical stature, since playing that game as a kid I have held it's version of souls/life streams to be the most accurate (heavily influenced by Taoism and Shinto). I can honestly say it is incorporated into my 'faith/religion'. at the time it was ground breaking for it size and depth. there is like 12 hours of movie sequences with a plot storyline that is superior to award winning movies lord of the rings.

We share a religion here then, veya. FFVII has had a major impact on me as far as games go (the biggest!)

Here's Aeris' theme- still brings a tear to my eye... https://youtu.be/fIqKWLkm2-g

by veya_victaous Tue Jan 17, 2017 1:11 am

Yep I think it was the first game that was indisputably 'Real Art'

While FF10 was good (and I think I played 5 as well) Final Fantasy 7 was truly ground breaking in what the medium of computer games could be and even today I don't think many have replicated that level. I think it is to gaming what the Iliad is to Epic poetry. a true master piece.

FFVII is pants compared to Skyrim or the Total war series, where I cannot wait to play Total War Warhammer

Skyrim is 14 years later though
and Still it not as epic a story (despite being a huge game with a lot in it)

Total war is one of the Best Real time strategies but with the exception of the warhammer one it is just historical setting.

P.S. the warhammer one is supposed to be not that good, although the main complaint is the game is lacking with out all the DLCs (thus making it very expensive) and the fact that it still needs a dozen more DLCs to do justice to the Warhammer universe

Final Fantasy 7 is not really a 'boys game' it is like an interactive movie, the actual game play is fairly simple and the story is un-gendered.

I'm Pretty sure someone has actually clipped it all together on youtube so you can just watch it like a movie. If you ever bored Wink

Haha, fair enough- not just boys games though, FFVII has universal appeal Razz

^Thorin- Total War not my thing. Skyrim is ok but FFVII seriously revolutionised gaming and had a stellar cast of characters and arguably led to the series' dominance and continued appeal 20 years later. It even spawned a movie! It also has the best soundtrack of any single game of all time, imo Smile
