I want to travel America in a purple bus named Penepole.
The Buried Life on MTV showcases the journey of four friends across America in a purple transit named Penelope. The purpose? They’re documenting the completetion of a list- “100 Things to Do Before You Die.” Essentially, it’s their version of “The Bucket List.” On each task they try to help others achieve their dreams. Ben, Jonnie, Duncan and Dave (and I) want to know. . .
What do you want to do before you die?
Here’s my bucket list (shortned version):

Hello Sarah, Don from Ohio here, and first time reader of your words! First of all, I’m pretty sure writers create more often than once every five months! I could be wrong. I am not a writer, but I do some writing and have a few blogs. Anyway, your Bucket List is certainly ambicious enough! LOL, I have done of those items already, but since I’m much older than you, I better have done more things! I am perplexed by why you haven’t written anything for several months? I hope it is not a health issue. If I may, please let me urge you to do one of your Bucket items as soon as possible! Mending the relationship with your father! You have plenty of time to do all of the items on your list, except for that one thing. And right now, it is more important for your father, that you doit soon, than it is for you. Trust me on this one!
Second of all, I would like to have the privilege of being one of your encouragers for writing! It’s up to you, my normal e-mail address is Don.Cunningham@Att.Net and I’d enjoy being a cheerleader for the cause! Oh, and my God girl, write more often!
Thirdly, if you get extremely bored, I have a few blogs you can scan and see if drive you insane, make you laugh or puke, or just make you pray for a coma. One blog is brand new, it’s called When Words Fail Me, and you find it at ANonWritersWeiting.Wordpress.Com and it will have poems, short stories, and general comments in it. Next blog is called, Thoughts To Ponder, and it is found at MindsAndThoughts.Wordpress.Com and it is about using our minds, and thinking for the future. Blog called, Is This Funny, is at HumorOrNot.Wordpress.Com and it will show my lack of sanity. On a more serious note, I have a blog called, Terrible Thoughts and Pain, and it can be found at SexAbuse.Wordpress.Com and I created it for two reasons. One, as a child I was a victim, and my sister’s whole career was being the director of Battered Women/Abused Children agencies. I highly invite comments, and I would enjoy hearing from a younger person’s point of view!
So, no excuses young lady! Get back to that writing! Show your heart and soul, the joy of life, and tell us what many of us already know secretly, that we often don’t know what we really want to be in life! Take Care! Don
