Bucket List

Before I die there are many things I want to accomplish. All these things range from traveling across the world to starting a family and a career. So I have decided to categorize all the different things I want to accomplish in my life into three different categories: things that I can accomplish in five years, things that I want to be done in ten years, and things that I want to have done twenty years from now.

Most of the goals I want to have reached five years from now are all going to be academic and school related. The first and main thing that I want to have achieved five years is to graduate from San Jose State University with my degree in film/radio and television. To achieve this goal I am going to have to be vigilant and am going to have to make up a four or five year plan to take all the classes I need to graduate in this area. I am very notorious for procrastinating and like to usually put things off to the last minute, but if I am going to make this happen I am going to have to change my attitude towards work and am going to have to buckle down and get this all done. Also to graduate with this degree, I am going to have to pick out a minor in some area. That’s another thing I need to choose and need to stop procrastinating on. All in all I am not worried about how I am going to get this done, and thats because I know that I love film and that it is my passion to be a great cinematographer. I know that I will try hard and I will fight to get this goal accomplished.

In the next ten years from now, I want to be able to start my career within the film industry. My dream job is to be either a cinematographer or a director. I have always loved film and movies, and I know that if I try, and get into the film industry, I will succeed. Hopefully by this time, I will have learned all that I could from all my college classes. I also would really like to have met the girl of my dreams, and marry her by this time in my life. I know that it sounds extremely cliché, but I would really like to be able to start my family and I want to be able to have the main supporters in my life as soon as I start my career. I know that I will really need all the support I can get in the field of work I have chosen.

In twenty years from now, I want to be living comfortably in my own home with my own family and with my well paying job. I also will want to start traveling across the world. I want to visit New York, Boston, and then I want to move on to Europe. I basically want to know that I lived a good life and have done everything I have wanted to do in my lifetime.

All in all, I don’t want to achieve outrageous things before I die. All I want is a family and a career in film. Though there are things that would be cool to do like: skydiving and flying planes, I know that the things I need before I die are more important. I just want the simple things in life.

50 Influential Moments in Rock N' Roll History: Led Zeppelin's 1973 tour

1973 was the break out year for Led Zeppelin. It was the year that marked the beginning of the modern arena-rock concert, and marked the year that Led Zeppelin had become one of the greatest bands of all time. It started with their North American tour, where they visited 36 different places within the U.S.A. and Canada. Their concerts would sell out in around 4 hours and would fill up giant arenas with people. For Example, in their Atlanta Georgia concert, they played for an audience with more then 49,000 people in the sold-out Fulton County Stadium. And the number of fans didn’t stop there; it started to grow by the thousands. Zeppelin even surpassed the Beatles record for most fans at a concert with 56,000 people at Tampa Stadium in Florida!

Led Zeppelin’s concerts were much different from many of the others before them. They involved lights, lasers and smoke bombs. Their concerts were loud, they were crazy, and they were meant to make you fell like there was an assault. Led Zeppelin was also notorious for never playing a song note for note. They stretched out their songs and made them long, they put in solos and instrumental sessions in places that most people wouldn’t recognize. Led Zeppelin was practically the father of the modern concert and with their music and showmanship earned a place in the rock and roll hall of fame and ultimately shaped the way we all view concerts and improv musicians.
