The bucket list meme
Good ol’ Jeff Pulver challenged his blog readers to write a ‘bucket list’, essentially a list of things you want to do before you die but Jeff modified it to be a list for 2008 things to do. I hope we don’t find sick irony in this when 2009 rolls around. You gotta admire jeff’s will to succeed in his business ideas but i came away from the post feeling that Jeff was trying a little too hard to sell himself rather than dig deep into his soul, but i do wish him luck and I’m pretty sure that redesigning his blog can be accomplished before he dies!
Chris Brogan’s bucket list is a little more traditional, a list and introspective look into why you want those things. Chris touches on some wishes but like Jeff he tends to overlay the post with a veneer of self promotion, which isn’t a bad thing it’s just more of the same, not so much like a politition (I wake up every morning thinking how i can help America) or Miss America (my goal is stop AIDS!) but like it’s a casual job interview.
I know, so why do I bother to read their blogs if I’m just picking them apart? I like them and find a lot of what they say to be informative and often thought provoking, but also I feel what they say could be ‘better’. I’m an art critic but being an artist myself I feel it is a duty to offer constructive cticism. I’m also an annoying smart ass who delights in pointing out faults probably because of my own insecurities but essentially I get a sense of accomplishment from writing my unique opinion on what I see.
I tend to write better when I’m responding to someone else’s point, I’m more like Spock than Kirk haha!
Anyway, the bucket list hmmm
I’d like to know my dad a little better.
I’d like to do a huge mural, not quite a Sistine Chapel job but a big room I can fill with my painted figures and my narrative with homages to all the artists that made my life so rich.
I want to see that episode of the Sha Na Na show where the Ramones guested. *editors note: I found the video on YouTube.com of the Ramones on the Sha Na Na show!!!!!!*
I guess that’s it.
