Turning a wall into a question

2:35

I feel

2:35

like it's easy to get caught up in the

2:36

day-to-day and forget what really

2:38

matters to you.

2:40

So, with help from old and new friends,

2:42

I turned the side of this abandoned

2:43

house into a giant chalkboard and

2:46

stencled it with a fill-in- thelank

2:48

sentence. Before I die, I want to

2:53

so anyone walking by can pick up a piece

2:55

of chalk, reflect on their lives, and

2:58

share their personal aspirations in

3:00

public space.

3:02

I didn't know what to expect from this

3:04

experiment, but by the next day, the

3:07

wall was entirely filled out and it kept

3:09

growing. And I'd like to share a few

3:12

things that people wrote on this wall.

3:17

Before I die, I want to be tried for

3:20

piracy.

3:24

[Applause]

3:27

Before I die, I want to straddle the

3:30

international date line.

3:33

Before I die, I want to sing for

3:36

millions.

3:38

Before I die, I want to plant a tree.

3:44

Before I die, I want to live off the

3:46

grid.

3:48

Before I die, I want to hold her. One

3:51

more time.
