What do you want to do before you die?

You've got 1 x planet earth, roughly 1 x 70 odd years to live and about a billion things you can do with that combination.

That's what a small team from Canada are on a quest to achieve with their list of '100 things to do before you die' and the resulting reality show called The Buried Life.

Their list includes:

Give a Stranger $100
Ride a bull
Make the front page of a newspaper
Tell a judge: "You want the truth?' "You can't handle the truth"

Without the TV crew in tow - the concept proves that anything you wish for is possible.

What's on your list?

Be on the cover with Wired with you. (Actually, they can show your face and the back of my laptop. That way they'll sell more mags.)

Go to EVERY SINGLE country in the world and write about it.

Have a house with a view of the Pacific Ocean.

Read every book in the 1001 Books you must read before you die book.

Go to Cape Town Jazz Fest, New Orleans Jazz Fest, Montreal Jazz Fest, North Sea Jazz Fest...

Meet Christiane Amanpour, Jon Stewart, Bill Mahr, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, Mandela, Richard Branson, and countless writers and musicians.

Perform a set at an open mic night at a comedy club AND get laughs.

Become fluent in French and Spanish so that I can read the literature.

Rescue as many dogs as I can.

Get my Green Card. It's become a matter of principle now.

Be in a Hollywood movie. Be in a Bollywood movie. Be in a South African movie.

Win a Pulitzer, a Nobel for lit, an Oscar, a Grammy (you don't have to sing... you can read your books on tape and be nominated) a Loerie, a Bloggie, a Booker, an African Caine prize.

Have a syndicated column.

Learn an instrument.

Learn to fly.

Go to space. I heard NASA is suddenly looking for a new astronaut, ha ha.

See the Northern Lights.

And... that's it for now. Hey, I know this is toooooo looooong, but you wanted to know!

I forgot to add - but since I plan on winning a Nobel for Lit, it actually goes without saying - publish a book.

Thanks for the post Cherry Flava. Great list 'redsaid'!

The Buried Life isn't actually linked to anything television but we did just come off of 2 incredible months on the road: 4000 miles covered, 45 list items completed, 43 people helped.. it was nuts.
