Epic List- "What do you want to do before you die" documentary

Four determined guys, that have 100 things to do and one plan with only one common goal, to draw a path and inspire the world to live their lives in the fullest, are in the process of launching one the most interesting documentaries I have ever seen.

“The Buried Life” is a project that will be showing the attempt of 4 friends to cross off all the tasks from a list with 100 things they want to do before they die.

The four Canadians, are armed with goodwill and determination but they also want to help others and motivate the world to follow the path that they drew and chase their wildest fantasies. With every task they complete from their list they will help a stranger to fulfill one of his/her dreams.

I watched their trailer on youtube and I was hooked straight away. I believe, that apart from an interesting and fun documentary, the “list” idea, is something that we all should do and try to achieve at some point of our lives before it is too late.


I believe that as it is right now, the world has lack of people like these four guys, as life is too short for not living it the way you want it, and we are all lost, in a way, in our own obligations and everyday life routines.


Here is the trailer.

George W. Bush VS Golf

I was killing time reading the news and checking the newest issue of the “Time” magazine online, when I read a quote on the magazine’s site that its wittiness and brightness gave chills on my spine (not really) and I thought that it would worth sharing it.

The quote is by the “planet president” and it reads, “I think playing golf during a war sends the wrong signal.” That was the explanation of Mister George W. Bush on why he quit the game in 2003 and decided to focus on playing war…sorry making decisions to protect and serve the world and the United States of America.

Now we must admit that quitting a favorite activity is a big sacrifice on every man's, and Mister Bush's everyday life routine. He cannot work on his swing and drink beer while he has sent soldiers out there to kill or be killed in the name of peace.

This might be another useless, for some people out there, and a non significant blog, but to me writing it out and pointing this out, it is like a relief and nothing new, but another clumsy naïve comment on Mister Bush’s behalf that shows how someone can put the moc(k) in the democracy, and the hip in the hypocrisy..

Five years after this quote, even though Mister President stopped playing golf, everything is the same, and some pessimists out there might say worse. Maybe some people should stick at playing golf. It's better for everyone. Maybe if people acted more like they do when they get annoyed by their dog saying "Go play boy...go" maybe we would be better?Maybe we should throw a golf ball and say the same. Or maybe the world is a golf ball?...


I posted the video of the same interview, as it is more entertaining hearing someone saying something like that. I would like to thank “Time” magazine and “The President” for giving me the opportunity of writing nothing different that points out what kind of “geniuses” are leading our planet
