Every year, my bucket list gets more and more unrealistic; it has to since I’ve already been able to cross off such adventures as flying a jet pack, swimming with whale sharks, and traveling to 35 countries. Last year’s focus was aerial feats such as aerobatics in a biplane, piloting a helicopter, and skydiving (again). This year I wanted to have a focus, but it had to be new and push the limits; after all, what’s the point of a bucket list?

Terrence Ross Wins the Slam Dunk Contest

I’ve never been to a lot of professional sporting events so my only real knowledge of it was what I saw on tv, but you can’t compare the experience of actually being immersed in the environment to sitting at home on your couch. The energy, the people, the comments, the vibe from the crowd of thousands is overwhelming. Combine that with some serious dunks from the best of the best and you have a situation where being awake is better than your wildest dreams. Continue reading
