Bucket Listing the 500 Greatest Albums of all Time #500 Outkast

     Well I've never had a bucket list because "What's the point?" On mine would be things like a trip to Italy, buy a brand new car, give $1000 to 100 needy people and none of that would ever happen and I'd be pretty disappointed. 

      So I live day to day. No expectations, no disappointments. Retail management taught me this lesson. It's not about money either. I'm not sure I've even ridden in a brand spankin' new car. It's about an experience - something unattainable. Dreams. I have those. But BucketLists? I'd want to do more good than I can afford. 

     Last week I decided to do something silly. I want to Yarn Bomb something. I saw pictures and I thought, "How fun!" Now that's what started my Bucket List! Yesterday I came across a Rolling Stones article on the top 500 albums of all time.  Bucket List item #2. My 3 kids can say, "My mom listened to the top 500 albums of all time!" They probably don't care! Something weird and crazy and corny and I love music!

Now unfortunately Outkast - Aquamini was #500. I listened to all 16 songs tonight and really only liked 2 of them. They all sound the same. Lots of "sounds" and percussion. The lyrics ? Eh ok. Mind you I am 51 years old. Lyrics to me aren't offensive ever because they are poetry, feelings and thoughts. On a good note, I know what Aquamini means! I have to get through 2 albums a day I think!
