We've got a little Web theme on koco.com in which we're inviting people to send us their "bucket lists".

Don't know what a bucket list is? Well, it's being made into kind of a pop culture phenomenon thanks to the Rob Reiner film called "The Bucket List," starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. They play a pair of terminally ill cancer patients, who decide to make some dreams come true before they die.

So, they create a list of things they want to do before they "kick the bucket."

There you have it. Bucket list.

This type of theme -- or meme as we call it online -- is as old as time. Heck, it wasn't but two or three years ago that people were coming up with the 10 Things To Do Before I Die lists.

However, for me, this type of list creates a couple problems.

First, nobody is really honest with their lists. For example, "to bang a redhead while flying over the Pacific Ocean" is socially unacceptable. Funny. But not acceptable.

Second, for whatever reason, I'm a big believer that one should keep his dreams to himself. Internalize them and work toward them because it's work and perseverance that offer the best opportunities for realization.

But this type of list also devalues the great things in life we experience on the run. Half of the best stories I've got in the vault, one couldn't have planned if he tried. Some of the best achievements have been completely by accident, and in retrospect, they might have been a part of such a list, if only you had known you wanted to do it.

Then again, that's no damned fun.

So, I'm spilling the beans. This is my freaking, for-all-the-world-to-see bucket list. Enjoy.

Ryan's 'Bucket List'

1. Win a Grammy. Hell, be nominated. Songwriting category, of course.

2. Master the guitar.

3. Play a set with Amy Winehouse as her pianist.

4. See OU win the men's NCAA basketball tournament.

5. See the Texas Rangers win the World Series.

6. Personally thank Josh Heupel for 2000.

7. Travel the United States, state to state, town to town devoid of time constraints.

8. Learn how to play golf.

9. See a tornado in person.

10. Make a million bucks in one year doing something legal and before I'm too old to enjoy it. And I'd like to make enough to be able to give most of it away.

Notice that items like "Convince Katherine McPhee to dump her boyfriend because I'm younger" didn't come into play. Neither did esoteric, schmaltzy things like "Marry a beautiful woman." No, there is a whole other bucket list I could write that would get me into so much trouble it would make your head spin.

Or, rather, my head spin.

There were also some items that are so timely that, really, they are just not realistic. For example, I would kill to be on Big Brother, but I'm just not set up to be able to take off an entire summer. Besides, what kind of dork am I if being on Big Brother were actually a life goal?

Well, it's not, really. But it would be way cool.

Nevertheless, any man who feels insistent on personally thanking the quarterback of his favorite college football team for giving us the greatest year possible has probably gone way beyond the point of no return relative to dorkdom.

But there it is.
