I've decided to give you a list of 10 things I would like to see in my life-time.
1. The Dodgers win a World Series- The last time the prestigious Los Angeles Dodgers won a World Series Title was in 1988, roughly about six months before I was brought into this world. Since, they have only reached the postseason six times. Of those six, they only won two NL Division Series' and lost both NL Championship Series'. Not the Dodgers my parents and grandparents knew. Not only would I love to see the Dodgers once again be crowned World Champions, but I would also like to be in attendance, for at least one home game.
2. USA win a World Cup Final- The Yankees that I'll cheer for. The USA Men's National Team is considered an up-and-coming force in the world of football (soccer). Although they are still a ways-away from actually winning a World Cup, I would still like to see it. First though, we need to make it past the first round of the knock-out stage. Russia anyone?
3. Attend a World Cup Final- I have my mind set on Rio 2014 for this one. With the world-famous Maracana Stadium, Rio de Janiero is set to host the 2014 World Cup Final. Where better to watch a WCF then in the world's most football (soccer) crazed country in the world. Now what I don't know is if I want to see a Uruguay-Brazil 1950-style final where the home side is muted and up-set, or a final where the home side wins a hard fought match on home soil and the crowd goes into a wild party? Hmm..
4. A Latino become President of the United States- Straight-up, we need some Latin blood in the White House. Without getting into all the other problems with our system, I would just like to say, I would like to see that happen.
5. Marijuana become legal- There is really no good reason that I've heard for it not to be legal. It's that simple.
6. An Alien- I don't know this for a fact, but I'm pretty positive that there are other life forms out there in the vast amounts of space. I think it would be cool to see some. Unless it's like some Independence Day stuff, I don't want to see that.
7. The violence in Mexico to subdue- Never having been to Mexico, right now is not the time to go. All the violence is giving the beautiful land and culture a very bad image. Colombia went through their drug cartel period and claims to overcome most of the problem. I know Mexico can do the same.
8. Los Angeles with an efficient public transportation system- As spread-out as the city is, I don't know how this would be achieved, but I know that it can. If there was some way to connect the many cities that lie within it's county borders, I would love this city even more. I'm sure there are ways to do it but the oil companies don't want that to happen. Oh my, what else is new?
9. Long Beach regain a music scene- I may be young with only 22 years of age, but I remember when Long Beach had a thriving music scene. With venues like the Rhythm Lounge, Blue Cafe and the Vault 350, just to name a few, Long Beach was a haven for good bands to play. Now-a-days, Alex's Bar hosts the best shows around and they aren't even that often. However in Long Beach, music isn't the only thing that's leaving. I feel the city is slowly deteriorating.
10. Meet Henry Rollins- So this one is a little different than the others on the list, but nonetheless, I would love to meet Henry Rollins. For those who don't know who he is, let me tell you. He fronted So-Cal punk band Black Flag from 1981-1986. He is a writer, radio DJ, comedian, actor and all-around badass. His spoken word is awesome and I suggest you listen to him. He is a unique, inspiring and brilliantly smart mind. More can be discovered about him here.
