Question 2 for Emily

Emily asked me to list my top 5 bucket list, and this one took some thought but I came up with some things.

1- To go to Wimbledon.  It's no secret not only am I a tennis coach, but I love tennis in general.  Don't get me wrong I love all the grand slams and would go to any, US Open would obviously be the easiest, but it's my dream to someday go to Wimbledon.  The tradition there is undescribable from the all white, to the gorgeous grass, and of course the strawberries.  Wimbledon has been my favorite tournament to watch for as long as I can remember, I remember being a little kid and my parents wanting me to go outside and play and I would say after this match!  I would watch every hour of coverage when I was younger, I loved when it was on HBO and there were no commercials.  So, going there would be a dream. 

2- I'd love to have dinner with all my favorite authors.  Of course this would include, James Patterson, Stephen King, Iris Johansen, Suzanne Collins(was so hooked on the Hunger Games), John Sandford. and of course my all time favorite author right now and quite honestly I would take dinner with just him, that would be Harlan Coben.  I love to read, it's funny because I am sooo huge on TV, but reading is something I have loved to do since I can remember.  I think sitting down to dinner with these fascinating people who wrote the great stories of all my favorite characters would be one of the best nights of my life. 

3- This one is kind of silly but i'd love to ride every major roller coaster in the world.  I love roller coasters!  I have been to some of the greatest amusement parks in Kings Island(Cincy OH), Six Flags over Georgia, Six Flags over Gurnee, Holiday World, and what some consider the greatest amusement park in the world in Cedar Point(Sandusky OH), but I want to get to more parks and ride the amazing coasters.  I don't really consider Disney or Universal in the amusement category even though they have some amazing coasters there.

4- I would like to be a contestant on Big Brother.  I don't know if this counts as a bucket list perse, but i'd love to go on this show.  I love reality tv, and while some of the shows might be better quality Big Brother is the one I can't live without, and it's the one I think I could win.  While this isn't a great quality I am one of the best liars in the free world and that would help me greatly in the Big Brother house.  So casting director if you ever stumble upon this put me in!!!!   I have often joked on here I would do Amazing Race with Shife or Rocket but I dunno those tasks are scary, i'd prefer the Big Brother tasks where the only thing I would have to lose would be my dignity.

5- I would like to play the role of Frankie Valli in the musical Jersey Boys.  I like Musicals I am comfortable saying that, if you want to make fun of me for it go ahead.  I did show choir and musicals all thru high school often having leads, and I would like to point out, and I think Bekah will back me up on this, Swing Choir was full of some of the most popular kids at EHS it was not like the outcast club like on Glee.  I love the musical Jersey Boys, I got to see it on my birthday and it was fantastic, and I think it would be a blast to get to play the part of Frankie on a nightly basis.

So, there you have it hope that works for ya Emily!!  Next up  Jay's question

5-

Those are all really cool Phats :) I knew tennis would make the list but I wasn't sure in what way. I love the idea of talking with authors, and you surprised me with the musical. Really cool list!

We share the same #1 on our bucket list. It would be so incredible to walk throughout the grounds, get some strawberries and cream, and just take in all that history.

Swing choir at our school wasn't a bunch of outcasts either. But it was a good mix of all kinds of people.

Good list Phats. There are a couple of roller coasters in Las Vegas you need to check out if you want to ride some crazy ones. I would definitely watch Big Brother if you were on it but I still think we need to work on that application to The Amazing Race. Have a good one buddy.
