View Full Version : What Is One Thing You Really Want To Do Before You Die?
Nighthawk76 04-25-2009, 06:37 PM I've always loved to write. I hope to have a book published before I die. I've been thinking that I would like it to be a children's book. When I took creative writing in college, even though I was in my mid-20's, the professor (a published author himself) said that I still had a great knack for writing both children and teenagers. He (and the class) said that my kids and teens talked and acted like real ones. Also, when you are dealing with children's literature, the sky is the limit in what you can write. After all, kids don't care about the logic of a story or if it is believable, they just want to be entertained, to laugh and by moved.
Brad Russ 04-25-2009, 07:22 PM For me, it's pretty simple. I would like to see some of my closest internet friends in person before I die. There's so many people, particularly from SO who I'm very close with, and I'd be crushed if I never got the chance to meet them face to face.

I would love to have some work published in book form some day.
I fully intend to go around the world. I love to travel, I've been to 16 countries, but there's just so much I haven't seen yet. Someday.

I think I'd go for that genre too, much of the reason being that I watch that generation all day long. But then again, I'm not sure where my ideas would fit in.
PlayOn 04-25-2009, 08:19 PM I, too, would like to a be a writer. Only, I want to be a Christian writer.
beautifuldreamer 04-25-2009, 08:51 PM One thing before I die?
So many options... but to only pick one is so difficult.
I want to find an extraordinary man that I can fall madly in love with and spend the rest of my life with.
As much as I would want to have kids, become a music professor, have all my friends truly understand how much they mean to me, hug everyone I love once more maybe :bighug:.... my first choice is to find my future husband. :D
Doodyville10019 04-25-2009, 08:58 PM I would love to bodyboard Pipeline in Hawaii before I die. That would be so awesome!
OH Nuts! 04-25-2009, 09:04 PM Go to Paris, France & meet David Nelson
ekkostar 04-25-2009, 09:46 PM Do it in the back of a shiny black Mercedes with a handsome, powerful, well-dressed man.
Brieannas21 04-25-2009, 09:53 PM Design a clothing line, and open up a little Boutique.
dakert 04-25-2009, 11:15 PM I would like to do something important or meaningful but right now I have no idea what that might be. it would be nice to live long enough to find out.
Wreckless 04-25-2009, 11:18 PM That's a good but hard question. Especially since you're only limiting the question to one thing before you die. I would say, put out a double disc album, through my music. If I put out my best, and it was all I could put out, I would.
Wreckless 04-25-2009, 11:21 PM oh and i'm making mine 3 things...also i'd like to fall in love with a beatiful but down to earth, chill woman who loves me for me, not for money or a bullsh*t reason, but for me...and start a life with her from these experiences.
also, I would like to do something important and meaningful for the world like the dude above me said....i don't know exactly what though...but yeah.
LuLu Rogers 04-26-2009, 11:06 AM Well, I'm already writing my first book, so...
I'm not really sure about one specific thing, I'd love to travel, find my soul mate, and hopefully meet Wayne Rogers one of these days ;)
TripperFan 04-26-2009, 12:10 PM #1 Quit Smoking!!!!
And hopefully to really help and touch people in whatever way that might be. I would also die happy knowing I saved a life.

PunkyP0WER 04-26-2009, 02:53 PM And hopefully to really help and touch people in whatever way that might be.
i'd say you already accomplished that :)
Theda Bara 04-28-2009, 07:17 PM WOW, just one thing; there are too many things I would love to accomplish before I die; the number one is to see all the bands that I have a desire to perform live; second would to travel to places I have never been to before...
Chocoholic 04-28-2009, 07:30 PM I want to go to Nashville.
LuLu Rogers 04-28-2009, 10:14 PM I want to go to Nashville.
Nashville is 2 hours from where I live, come visit me and we'll go! :lol: ;)
YoliUSA 04-28-2009, 10:32 PM It's hard to pick just one thing. For me, I would love to be in a TV show, or be involved in some area of the entertainment industry. I would also like to get married and have kids, visit every state in the US, and then visit Europe. :D
treky 04-29-2009, 01:38 AM RUN!!! Now, that may sound silly; but unfortunately I haven't been able to do that in YEARS.:(
Also, walk somewhere without any aids.
treky 04-29-2009, 01:39 AM Nashville is 2 hours from where I live, come visit me and we'll go! :lol: ;)
can I come too Lauren?
Janice 04-29-2009, 03:26 AM I'd love to hit the lottery for an insanely huge amount of money. I'd take care of my loved ones, and that includes a few dear friends here. I'd set myself up in a house on the beach (Hawaii or Aruba). I'd never cook or clean again. :D
With the rest, I'd split it up. One half would go towards helping abused and disadvantaged children. The other half would be help animals in need. That's more of a wish. Speaking realistically, I'd love my husband and I to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.
:love:
Sharop 04-29-2009, 03:30 AM I'd like to become a medium (someone who communicates with spirits.)
Hollow 04-29-2009, 03:59 AM sing at a major event. i don't want to be famous but i want myself heard. the internet doesn't give me the thrill that the stage does. i plan on at least preventing regrets.
browneyes106 04-29-2009, 10:48 AM Write a screenplay.
TripperFan 04-29-2009, 04:53 PM i'd say you already accomplished that :)
