Life pt. 2
It's been quite a week, and its not even over yet.
As you already know my friend has cervical cancer
My other coworker and friend's mom just passed away this morning from cancer, she was so young and I feel terrible for my friend, she was very close with her mom
And then last nite another friend and coworker of mine told us the good news that she was pregnant.
Everything's been going crazy this week, one life has ended, another life going upside down and another life is going to enter this world.
Its been kind of a wake up call for me this week. What is it about new life and death that sometimes gives us these brilliant revelations that we want to change the way we're living, or we want to do something more with our lives? The realization that life is short and fragile is a sure fire kick in the ass to get ourselves in gear and to get on with the things we want to do before one day they're lowering us into the ground.
And its also funny how everyone seems to find religion when someone passes away.
I'I'm however not one of those people, I'm one of those people who thinks God has forgotten about them, but thats a different story entirely.
So in light of this past week I have compiled a list of things that I want to do before I die or become too old to do them. I also decided that I would like to be hit by a falling piano in the middle of New York City as my means to the end. I dont like the idea of dying in my sleep or any of those crazy diseases that are out there - I've thought about the piano thing for some time now.
THINGS ASHLEY HAS TO DO BEFORE SHE IS HIT BY A FALLING PIANO
1. Go to LA, try acting
2. Finish University (which may actually kill me faster than the piano)
3. Meet Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee
4. Go to Europe, backpack for a couple of months
5. Deep Sea Fishing, I've always wanted to try it but I'm afraid of catching a shark and it biting me (I know, Im a loser)
6. Eat a deep-fried, chocolate covered banana
7. Own or at least help operate a shelter for abused or abandoned animals
8. Be a guest on a talk - show (not Maury or anything trashy, more like Ellen or Oprah)
9. Dye my hair completely black.
10. Go on a massive shopping spree in NY and LA
11. Paragliding....is that the one where they hook you up to the back of a boat? If not, I want that one.
12. Pay off all of my credit cards
13. Swim with the dolphins
14. Win a reality TV show
