I despise MTV.
I believe that every second MTV is on the TV and I am within ear shot, I lose a significant amount brain cells. The so called reality shows that they have on may be the root of the downfall of modern society.
That being said, I might risk my own well being and brain cells, and check out a new show they have starting tonight. It is call The Buried Life.
The basic idea of the show is this. A young group of guys have a list of 100 things they want to do before they die. It is in the same spirit as The Bucket List with one exception. They are still young. And it makes sense doesn't it?
Why wait until you are old and near your death bed to start on your bucket list. What is wrong with today?
Without knowing it, I have had one of these lists for some time. Back when we first found out that I was going to need another liver transplant, there were of course some difficult times. Melissa would constantly ask me if I was going to be OK, and I was always answer yes without hesitation. Then one day she asked me "How do you know?" I didn't have an answer for that one.
Shortly after that question, I wrote out a list of 100 things that we would do together. The list included things like have a baby, surf in Costa Rica, swim with dolphins, spend an entire day in a hammock, and take our child to the zoo. This list was my answer to "How do you know you are going to be OK?" I knew because we had too much we had to do together.
This list was posted on or refrigerator for a long time, but eventually faded into the back of my memory. When Melissa stumbled upon The Buried Life, it reminded my of the list and I looked at it again. Turns out we can already cross off several of them;
#1 Have our baby
#9 Hike at Red Rocks
#39 Go to Puerto Rico
#21 Spend Christmas at the Lake House,
#25 See Jimmy Buffett live
#63 Get caught in the rain and Laugh about it
...and several others.
11 down, 89 to go. I will post the list in entirety later.
So what on your list?
