The Bucket List by a 9/11 survivor rescue worker

I've seen the marlevous performance of both, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. A friend recommended I see it after a heated discussion about my list of things to accomplish being so incredibly long.

I've decided to post my list (in the works) but I am leaving out the things accomplished.
1. find a nicer neighborhood to live in without selfish nasty neighbors who steal from each other
2. Start a PTSD support group in OKC (like AA with regular meetings)
3. Experience another sunset in Menemsha
4. Spend a week with Marie and all the nephews and niece on Martha's Vineyard loving earth, the beach & New England life so I can show them where Dorothy West lived and where Alfred Eisenstadt lived
5. Find a few old friends: Dennis Hearne (USMC, attended Hunter College, CUNY, originally from Brooklyn) jay Lippman, Irene, Estelle, Shameem, and meet up for dinner with our other college buddies in NYC, Chris Johnson, from the 75 house, my step dad George
6. go to a thanksgiving day Macy's parade again with the kids and the Puerto Rican day parade
7. Testify in front of congress and the president about the hardships of 9/11 sick and dying rescue workers or influence Oprah to do a show on it so more people than in congress could hear
8.go home to Puerto Rico for a visit
9.teach my son to be a better reader
10.have one dinner with my sisters, mom & cousins on a dinner cruise (lol holding them hostage so they have to be polite and have a conversation) like a family reunion we havent had in 30 yrs
11. leave positive foot prints behind and some awesome photos
12. travel as a photo journalist to Cuba and a few other places
13.have more photos published
14.graduate from college (12 credits missing for my degree from Hunter)
15.leave my kids a college opportunity
16.help homeless veterans, katrina survivors and 9/11 homeless responders
17.get back to 135 lbs (ya'll stop laughing)
18.get our second children's book published
19.go someplace I never expected to go
20.honor my 9/11 fallen colleagues and other people in a memorable unique way
21.have an incrdible night of sinful sex
22.take a few dance lessons and do a tango
23.own my own bike again
24.find the second internet stalker and smash their fingers so they cant use them for a few months (i know this is not a positive do good feeling but anyone who posts they want to harm me and the kids deserves at the very least not to use the body parts used for threats, so the brain should also be smashed)
25.get kissed at midnight on new years eve in a way it makes my toes curl
