Smack it, Make it and Mac it. Here's the list of things to do before you kick the bucket and trip on a Sccombroide



We are not getting any younger or are we just not feeling any younger? Went for my trampoline classes and thinking of signing up for a trapeze class and exploring new things to thrill my bones and get my body in action.

I was in the book store the other day and there was a list of things to do before the bucket of mortality of the 2 legged kind gets tipped over. Slightly morbid in nature but that is actually uplifting as it helps to open up your life in a kaleidoscope of colors beckoning you to the technotronic world only limited by your boundless imagination.

So this will be the entry just like many others before it. So what actually came up with the first ever list anyways? It is hard to say. But here's a list which I gathered inspiration from others, the best on the net. What's yours?
