Before I Die I Want To
October 9th 2008 04:13
I am intrigued by the Before I Die I Want To project. The concept is compelling. In the author's words:
The entries run the gamut from the thought provoking to the absurd. Here are a few of my favs
(be forewarned the freakishly horizontal site is a bit off putting)
What say you readers?
The Before I die I want to... project was inspired by a combination of factors: (1) the “death” of the Polaroid, (2) a psychologist’s tool called safety contracts, and (3) a passion to get people to think about (and act upon) what is really important in their lives through this simple, very straight-forward question.

There were a couple I really liked.
Before I die I want to write a will. (that appealed
And the guy who wrote something like, I want to work out why I have a problem being intimate with women. (I'm surprised you didn't pick up on that one ...

In my Buddhist studies we spend much time focused on the impermanance of life and the amazing grace of having been given a human birth.. great to see that its spreading to all four corners of the globe..
..sad how many little girls dont realise they are already princesses.

I found that site very depressing! A few 'before I die I want to be rich' comments interspersed with a couple of 'before I die I want to have a relationship' ones.
The only one I liked was by a young man: 'before I die I want to throw the grandkids in the pool'.
Obviously he just wants a long, happy life surrounded by close familly.
Well, I hope that's what he meant by throwing grandkids in the pool! Maybe he just doesn't like children.

At first I laughed at that one until it dawned on me that the guy might be serious.

Me too! I own a polaroid but have not used it in years!
I am kind of sad that this "technology?" will be going the way of the dinosaurs....

So true and well put. I was also taken by the number of folks just want to be connected to "spmeone" before they die. I was glad that getting rich wasn't the overall pre death goal!

Amen to that sister!
Hope you are well!

I am with you. I thought that I was the only one disturbed by this. To me it was like rubbernecking at a fatal crash to watch the head roll (shame on me).

HAHAHAHAHA! I liked that one too but now your comment makes me like it even more.

I am out of my box today that's fo sho.....
The little girl with the princess wish made me kind of sad. "My baby" in Houston and yours both embrace their inner princess!
You are so right about this sister
they are princesses by the way that we love them
