So Howard Camping the 91 year old religious freak who frightened the bejeezus out of fellow religious freaks in May by predicting the end of the world has struck again. "Oops my bad.. I meant October 21st not May 21st. For reals this time!"
His predictions have not had the same effect this time around. There hasn't been a rush of sales on property of his followers.. probably because they gave away all there worldly possessions in May and have been living on the streets ever since. Other than one story I have not seen the mass media interest in the story. Obviously he should have been reading Aesop's Fables, in particular, the Boy who cried Wolf, instead of spending so much time misinterpreting the Bible.
So last time the world was ending I gave the reasons why I wouldn't be making the short list to the pearly gates. This time I think it is time I sorted out my bucket list. What do I want to do before Howard Camping finally gets it right...or I get hit by a bus.. whatever comes first.
1/ Travel overseas. I am 40 years old and the closest I have gotten to getting overseas was Tasmania! I want to open a bottle of champaigne and watch the sun set over the Pyramids; Go ghost hunting at Houska Castle in the Czech Republic; Walk through the streets my grandfather walked as a child on Isla de Elba in Italy; Take part in the Jack the Ripper tour in Whitechapel; Lie in a hammock on a tropical island and watch the world go by; Window shop in Paris, Spend time with my gorgeous sister in London and be a part of her and my brother in law's world for awhile... There is so much of the world I want to see. Oh and bungy jumping from some massive bridge is not part of the plan.
2/Sing in public again without a Karaoke machine as back up.
3/ Write a book and actually finish it. I have so many half finished books lying around it would be awesome to find an ending for at least one of them.
4/ See Noah's band perform - hopefully this one isn't too far away. Apparently it isn't cool to have your mother in the mosh pit at one of your shows.. Maybe he is worried I am going to jump on the stage and wipe his face with a hanky and my spit or yell out "I love you snookems!" at an inappropriate moment. I personally don't see the problem.
5/ Teach Dexter some new tricks.. he can sit, drop, beg, sing and jump but has yet to master pouring me a glass of wine and giving me a foot rub...
6/ Own an iPhone.. I need to know what all the fuss is about
7/ Find a committed boyfriend who is mentally and emotionally stable, knows how to laugh at themselves and my jokes, is employed, doesn't have six kids and doesn't have more baggage than can fit in the overhead department.
8/ Live long enough to see my grandkids. I am more than willing to wait for this one!
9/ See the end of this season's Dexter. Omg it is seriously looking to be as good as season four with the Trinity Killer!
That will do for now.
Considering some of these are years away let's hope the geriatric religious zealot who cried wolf is at least a few decades early on his predictions.
