Things to Do Before I Die (or not)

I do not really have a bucketlist. Maybe it will change once I grow old enough to feel the enivitability close at hand, but for the moment there are no specific things that I have to do before I die. There are some things—let’s call them "vague goals"—that I hope to do during the course of my life; for instance, I’d like to become a helicoptor pilot, I’d like to learn to play jazz piano, I’d like to see lake on top of Baekdu Mountain, I’d like to attend a proper Texan Rodeo . . . These are all things I’d like to do or experience; I cannot think of anything I have to do.

Another example of something I’d like to experience is to hear Aaron Copland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man” live.

I have a bucket list. I should post it soon. I think I already did though, I'll have to check later. I got the idea from the first "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book where a man named John Goddard made an impressive "life list". I started mine in high school and checked off a lot of things.
I had always wanted to hear Handel's "Messiah" live and I finally got to hear it live a few years ago.
