Day 2: Too expensive bucket list

MiaLeave a comment

bucket_plus_listPeople keep this something called bucket list. Never really understood what it is. I never plan ahead. I don’t have any special goals. I wouldn’t care less if I didn’t experience things before 30, 40 or any other age. If I had a list, my goals would be too expensive to do anyway. Other thing is not being brave enough to do them. A bucket list doesn’t need to be something that costs money. But in my bucket list they are. So what are they, you ask.

Here are top 5

  1. Travel by plane
  2. See an NHL ice hockey match in Canada
  3. Go to Paris
  4. Be part in a real movie production
  5. ?

Explanations

  • 1. I’ve written about this before on this blog. I’ve never been on a plane, honest. I’ve always travelled other ways. I don’t know how it would feel to be in one. It’s also expensive to travel this way. At least I save the environment by not flying.
  • 2. I don’t actually follow NHL. I love ice hockey and it would be great to see a game. Feel the atmosphere. How the fans react in the big world. I especially want to experience that. That’s something you don’t see here in Finland. Some fans make sounds and cheer but the rest only watch a game and then go home. It’s totally different over there.
  • 3. My parents have been in Paris when they were young. We have travelled in Europe but not there. I don’t speak French so English would be the only language I could use. Would be nice though to learn. I would love to see the Eiffel Tower, sit in a café watching people walk by and just walk around. This is something I could actually do if I had the money. Maybe one day.
  • 4. I have made a short film in school and studied screen play writing. Would be nice to be in a real film production. It’s fun but hard work. I wouldn’t want to be in the movie itself. I don’t even have to work. Just to be there for a day or two to see how it’s done. After seeing the behind the scenes on DVD in both Lord of the rings and The Hobbit, I wanted to be in  one even more.
  • 5. This is quite a dilemma. It could be something travelling or it could be meeting a person I admire. I’ve actually already met one, the ski jumper Janne Ahonen. The meeting was short but still.
    While I wrote this part, there’s actually one thing. Seeing a Formula One race. I’m not much into that anymore but still that would be one thing I could do if I had the money. It could also be some other motor sport event but I won’t get into that.

Jump they say

The Daily Prompt, Jump made me think about the song ‘Jump they say’ by David Bowie. Actually a lot of The Daily Post challenges makes me think about song titles. I searched (or googled) for Jump in the song titles and there’s quite a lot of those.

Just to mention a few. When I think about jump, I think about being happy. Jumping for joy. I’m not actually jumping even if it feels I could. As a kid I used to jump rope. Both alone with a short rubber rope or a long one with other kids. It was an activity we did at break in school. I don’t know if kids do that today. It’s a shame if they don’t since its good exercise. I’ve even tried Double Dutch which is quite difficult but fun.

Jumping from one subject to another. I thought about writing about music at first but then something else came to mind. I have too many thoughts in my head so I can’t really stick to one subject at a time. I could never have a blog that is only about one subject. Except that web design haven blog but that’s about it. I just get bored easily. I like versatility. That’s my motivation for everything.

I’m gonna jump off this blog post because I’m out of ideas for now.

Enjoy the silence

Mia3 Comments

moonThis blog has been on silence for a while but I actually enjoy the silence. It’s not that I don’t want to blog, it’s just that the internet connection in the dorm is slow. Then I have school (in case someone forgot) and the other blog where you can read how my studied are going. I post there once a week. I was suppose to post about my trip to St.Peterberg but I haven’t even finished those posts yet. I have had so much else to think about so I haven’t had the time. But as soon as I do, I’ll promise I post them.

As for the silence, there is none in the dorm where I live, 4 days a week. Luckily we don’t have school on Fridays. That’s what I don’t miss about studying in another town. The dorm walls are thin so you hear people. I don’t have to worry about room mates since I live alone. I’ve had a few roomies when I was younger and it wasn’t my cup of tea. I had nice one’s but I prefer being on my own. I’m around people all day and I need to rewind. The town I study in, is in the country so there are places that can be silence but there’s always some traffic. Especially kids (teens) with their mopeds or motorcycles. I don’t know what kind of meetings they have on the schoolyard in the evenings. Driving on the lawns and making noise. At least they’re not here everyday. That’s the problem with people living in a small town. Kids have nothing else to do than drive around in their motor vehicles.

There’s not always complete silence so when there is I enjoy it while it lasts. Enjoy the small things and that includes silence. Some people seem to addicted to noise. They can’t keep quiet for a second. They can’t even go out without having earphones on. If it’s not music then it’s talking. I dislike talking while I’m eating. Why can’t we just eat our meals in peace and be silent? Silence is never awkward, it’s only the talkative people who think so. Let’s all be just silence for a change and enjoy it. There’s no need to talk or have noise all the time. It’s stressful and makes you irritated. Noise is even worse when you’re trying to sleep at night. Unfortunately some people have no respect for others so take make noise no matter what hour it is. But never sink to their level. Do not argue with idiots. Silence is golden and it always should be.
