A simple question with very complex answers, and a wide variety of answers too. What would you do? Try to sneak into a Playboy party, make a toast at a stranger's wedding. This idea I heard about while watching MTV, surprising for me...who personally dislikes a lot on those networks. But I caught this show, The Buried Life, about these four mid-20 year olds who seemed like they had no direction and they decided to make a list that they wanted to go through of their dreams, now. And as they cross off their tasks, and as they meet people along their journey they ask that fateful question, "What do you want to do before you die?" and they help them. Now this show is just premiering, and only has two episodes under it's belt. The first show was the Playboy party, and the most recent was making a toast. Both I was very surprised that they actually did it. It was awesome, I'm actually kind of jealous that I did not think of the idea. I love that some stranger they meet on the street they ask that question. One was a elementary school teacher, who asked for a computer. The other was helping an artist find his son. Let me say, it was beautiful. And all on MTV, and on reading a post on another blog MTV is trying to get away from the stereotype they have gotten themselves into. With deeper shows, and ever since this summer I've noticed. I find it odd, me wanting to watch these shows. But this show has made me think, about that question. And while I was talking to my mom she asked me, I replied, "Hmmm....Learn to play bass" but I have plenty more. It's just that idea has been a dream for a long time, but haven't gone for it yet...but I plan to, and I'm sick of saying "plan" I want to "do." Then "make a film," which I'm in the process of doing. :) It's harder than it looks, but I'm learning, about some very interesting people (it's a documentary) and the filmmaking process.
So what do you want to do before you die? As crazy as you can ever think of....
Good, solid idea. Will be watching the season progress...
