Bucket Lists

One day I opened a box filled with pictures, writings, and older items like CDs and cassettes. In the Receptacle of Yesterday (which was written on the box), I ran across something called, ‘My Gay Bucket List.' This list consisted of distant pleasures and obtainable goals. Reading the memories, I was amazed at what was written.

My Gay Bucket List at age 30
  • Get boo'd up
  • Find a good job
  • Be able to talk to my parents without feeling embarrassed
  • Make time with friends
  • Vacation in all the hot spots
  • Buy a home
  • Be a Top at least 10 times
  • Try dating outside my race
  • Trying not hookup with thugs, married men, or so call straight men
  • Finding Jesus

Looking around the area, I found another paper attached to the first list. The date was exactly 5 years later. This one read:

My bucket list at 35 with some variations.
  • Get Married
  • Maintain a good profession
  • Save money for an old age
  • Move enemies out of my life
  • Vacation in the right spots
  • Sell a home
  • Try love being versatile
  • Fall in love with a nice man
  • Don't hook up with anyone
  • Build a relationship with God

To humor myself, I decided to write an updated bucket list for the next 5 years. 
 
My Gay Bucket list at 40 and not budging. 
  • Build a relationship with a man I can love
  • Be the best at my current profession
  • 401k, retirement, and capital are my best friend
  • It is about the quality of friends that matter
  • Fun is where the heart is
  • Have a home where I can recharge my energies
  • Sex should be good in what position
  • Repeat number 1
  • Hookups shouldn't be part of my lifestyle
  • Believe in God

​As time passed, I've reached 40. I have only 4 out of 10 items completed. But what really shocked me, was the fact I didn't change any of my things, I just modified them. Which means, I need to get a fucking life or change up some shit. Maybe I should write… oh, forget it. I will quit forging list and just live my not so happy life.
