According to all the so-called, self-proclaimed, armchair “experts” who read my blog, the term “bucket list” comes from the english-language expression “to kick the bucket”. For those of you whom have never heard this before, it means “to die” or just “die”.
In a previous post I mentioned that I have a bucket list-type list. What I failed to say was that mine is called my “pre-death list”. I named it this so my readers don’t need to have detailed knowledge of obscure english-language idioms to understand what I’m writing about.
Anyway, enough talking about lists, it’s time to list the list.
Jason’s Pre-Death List
- Cook a full-on turkey dinner meal for either Christmas or Thanksgiving including various pies for dessert
- Visit Nordkapp
- Visit Antarctica
- See the Northern Lights (full-on)
- Sleep outside in the full-on winter (Canadian or Finnish, none of those fake winters that are found in many parts of the world)
- Desert safari (Sahara or Gobi)
- Dessert safari (cheesecakes or pies)
- Get my karate black belt
- Solve the Keith Haring Double Retrospect
- Complete all the items on my pre-death list
- Experience the Trans-Siberian (orchestra and railway) – not at the same time, bonus if
- Paint a self-portrait
- Build a house
- Build a better house
Guess which will be the first item crossed off the list!

Deserted in the desert while having dessert? Herrow ESL pronunciation nightmare!
