A couple of days ago on a lazy afternoon, I was busy woolgathering and an intriguing thought happened to cross my mind. What are the things that I wish to do before I die? The things that I would like to accomplish in my lifetime? In other words, what is my Bucket List? Now, it’s not everyday that you think about your death.

So the thought got me quite interested. I jumped out of the couch and got my scribbling pad and started to scribble away.

I jotted down a few things which I would like to do before I die. I cannot post them here for more reasons than one. At least not now! I might just post it in the future. But, that’s just a ‘Maybe’!

By the way, have you created your bucket list? Think about it! It’s quite interesting.

For those who didn’t know, ‘The Bucket List’ is a list of things that you would like to do before you die. The term became famous when a blockbuster movie of the same name starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman released last year.

What got me even more interested in the subject was, creating a Bucket List for my blog. Now that would be interesting. What would my blog like to do before it died? Not now, not in the next few years, but maybe when I got too bored of blogging and decided to bring down the curtains on it.

Maybe when I jumped on to a different profession. Quite possible.

Or maybe when I left god’s green earth for the unknown that lies beyond.

What would my blog like to do? Here’s what I could conjure up for my blog!

1) Have more than 30,000 subscribers via RSS – That doesn’t seem likely for two years at least.

2) To have two posts everyday – Now that one’s achievable. Hmmm. Did someone mention writer’s block?

3) Generate a 6 figure income for at least one month –  You see, my blog loves me and wants to see me filthy rich!

4) To become the holy grail for Freelance writers and Amateur Bloggers – This ‘could’ just work out.

5) To visit the Blog World Expo – I will be there at the Expo in 2011.

6) To win a Web Log Award – Cast thou votes!

7) To have a memorial blog created in my memory when I die – Any volunteers?

You see, he is an emotional fella, my blog! Now is a blog a he or a she? I dunno, but I prefer him being a ‘he’.

Now, most of those things are what my blog would like to do as of today. I will keep adding to the list as and when newer things come into the picture. And I will also keep scoring out each thing as I accomplish it. Maybe, I ought to create a different list for all the things that my blog has accomplished.

That can be a real morale booster on a bad day!

So, what’s the bucket list for your blog? Haven’t create one yet? Do it now and keep me posted! Cheers!
