Sijun Forums :: View topic - What would you like to do before you die?

shahar2k · Posted: Sat Feb 10, 2001 11:59 pm

simple question, with not so simple implications. this isn't right before you die, but more of a goal kind of question. what is your utmost goal.

my own answer to that question... live a year in the desert.

I figure it this way, I would like to have done at least one thing which no one will praise me for, no one will be there to share it with me, and I do not have to go to anyone to make that experience valuable.

A movie. I refuse to die before I have made a movie.
That simple.

visit another planet. Preferably one that has life which is not yet as far evolved as on our planet.

what is it with making films? are they so magical? you have to somehow record your vision in the form of a movie? or is it that you want to join the crowd who had done this?

what's so glamorous about making a movie.....

My thing would be to travel to Europe and see all of the masterworks. I'd love to see Michelangelo's sculptures, the Sistine Chapel. You know, the tourist thing, hit as many museums as possible. Oh, and I'd have to hit a Giger bar while I'm over there : )

Before I die? Hm.... Well, I'm planning on living forever, but if I really MUST die, I'd like to be blindly adored by the masses first. Yes. Blind adoration is good.

You know, I just want to be happy.

Whatever makes me happy, is what I want to do before I die. This changes from day to day.

Make all kind of perversions to a representative woman of each race, in a rounded bed, so I could say after that: "So, it was all about this? what a time loss!"

SlightlyTwisted · Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2001 4:18 pm

erm... I don't think I have anything in particular in mind. Before I die? Heck, I don't even know what I want to do before next week, let alone before I bite the big one, which, with any luck, won't be for another 50 or 60 years.

Oh... waitaminute! I want to scoff down one of Enayla's Daim cakes before I die. *nods sagely*

make those who care understand,
and erase myself from the memories of those who dont.

shahar2k · Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2001 5:15 pm

scoff down enyala's.... uhm, I hope that's a norwegian thing and I'm not that far out of it as to miss that....

shahar2k,

Film: because as a medium, it encompasses many creative disciplines: visual, sound, writing, and acting. For people who are storytellers, but also very visual and sensitive to sounds, making a film is a dream come true.

The next best thing would be comics, but comics is static, and no sound.

my pr0n movie will have an excellent storyline!

Krazykate · Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2001 6:59 pm

Well.. . .I'm not sure. I don't know at this stage what it's suppose to be, but I know that I am being taught what I need to know for it.

I've done the best I can so far. . .loved my husband, my two sons, adopted homeless cats and dogs, tried to be a good friend to others.

When I was getting ready to go back to school-I had to really search deep to decide to go deeply in debt for it verses just stay where I was at-and things just kept pushing me towards it. I just graduated-now no jobs--so I am waiting for the next leap, and taking it a day at a time.

the story line is the most important part.

Nex · Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2001 1:42 am

how about a plumber guy that comes to fix the kitchen sink and then..

Skydive.

And draw something that really expresses who I am....

Buy an island in the south pacific.
Ban all clothes from it.
Ban all men but myself from it.
Have 800+ asian women imported to it.

hmm I could keep writing for about 2 years on my whole plan, but I have to keep some secret....
