MooPig Day of Lists Department :: "Do you like Lists?"

Life-Hack Brings lists-of-stuff to the Table
Mixed Martial Articles by Pat Darnell  |  Jan 18, 2015  |  Bryan TX

Are we succeeding? Hmmm ... good question.

20 Signs You're Succeeding In Life Even If You Don't Feel You Are: "Here are 20 signs that you are succeeding in life: 1. Your relationships are less dramatic than they used to be. Drama is not maturity. As we age, we should develop maturity. So maybe your relationships were drama-filled in your past, but if you have moved beyond that, then you are successful."

CONCLUSION
I have to be in a special mood to enjoy Lists. I have to be somewhat fatigued, and somewhat hungry to appreciate a good list of "20 Things ... "

This bit caught my eye. Now I have to resist that mid-afternoon snack that is calling to me.

MooPig ReRun -- "My Bucket List Revisited"

Raquel Then and Now
Rerun by Pat Darnell  |  Mar 3, 2012  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]  {---Picture : ...and last but not least MooPig's gratuitous sexist unrelated non-sequitor style is still part of the Bucket list... to one day have a last waltz with Raquel even at age 67}

My Bucket List Revisited

As I get game and gamier, I sense the last tri-mester of my days is one that should be a revisionary era punctuated with symbolic experiences. FAQ: No. There is no terminal illness to prompt this, but the following is:

Pat Darnell's Unofficial Bucket List [though having not seen the movie yet]...
* UPDATE: * Yes, we saw the movie yesterday on DVD, and we wept!

I would like to perform an Exorcism. I want one of those exorcism gap-wrenches that Keanu Reeves has in the movie Constantine. He jumps on the torso of the victimized possessed person, and pulls out a set of coin-like chads on a key ring, makes a guess and plants the disc on the forehead of the writhing demon. That's what I'm talking about, grotesque parody.

Making a movie is one of my bucket list items. Directing, editing, and producing a flick would make my life complete.

Playing music with my kids is a major dream activity of mine. Having a jam session with my clan delights me to no end. Still, it is very hard to get all my players going in the same direction, much less having them all show up at the same time.

I would like to fall into a deep sleep and have a woman made from one of my ribs. Not for a wife or anything, just the thought of it seems likeable to me. You see it would be an exhiliarating feat. We have the technology now, probably in the near future. As the genome is further understood, things like this will happen.

I would like to have lunch with Padre Pio, though he is passed on.

To finish my manuscript finally is a major desire. Then I would like to write the sequel to "Young Frankenstein," maybe treat it like "Older Frankenstein."

One cross-country trip on I-10 with wife and last two kids, is a very attractive idea.

Bulletin: Shooting black and white negative film, processing it and burning photos is always on my mind. Last time I did this was back in the '70s' in the photo labs at college.

Teach oil on canvas to children: give lessons that take them from raw canvas to finished painting.


Entering the Grand Canyon at one end and hiking all the way to the other, is a fantasy I have.


At least one family reunion of all the kids and us. CHECK: Daniel and Megan's Wedding October 1st, 2011... Yay!


I would like to house a horse again, not a fancy one, just one to ride and show kids how horse sense is still the best sense. [Thanks again to Pribek.net for reminding me of "40 acres and a mule."]
