24 hours left to live

i'm watching the simpsons and it's the episode where homer eats the poisonous fish, finds out he's got 24 hours to live, and makes a list of what he wants to do before he dies?

what would you do if you had only 24 hours to live?

i think i would make sure everyone i cared about knew how i felt about them, and maybe left something meaningful for those that were really important to me.

You could do those things tommorrow, Mael.

I would make some calls to loved ones, then head for the coast in a rented convertible. Sit at the ocean with a twelve pack.

At first I thought "What a trite question," but upon thinking about it I really don't know what I'd do. There's nothing I'm yearning to do that could fill my last moments. Probably just spend it with my friends and family, doing nothing special. That would be nice, I guess.

I'm honestly not quite sure... though going skydiving comes to mind. Maybe just go nuts for that one day, doing all the stuff that I never had done before, because it was too risky: skydiving, river kayaking, bungee jumping, hang gliding, something like that. Maybe even hit some drugs right before the 24 hours was up, just to see what they would be like? That way I wouldn't have to deal with any bad side effects. But since I'm not in the situation, I'm not sure what I would actually do...

Write out a makeshift will, wipe my harddrive, get some ass, find a place to die. I considered drinking myself out of my mind to calm my nerves, but that's not for me.

hang out with friends and family, and prepare my goodbyes.... Then.. if I didn't have a S/O and there was someone I liked, I'd let her know. I'd then spend 10 hours with my S/O then the rest with family and friends.

If i didn't ahve a S/O (like now) I'd play video games( and RPGS) until i was getting close.. hey! I'd have a great excuse for losing, "Sorry about losing guys, I'm dying.. i have about 2 hours to live" And knowing me I'd joke about it too. then I'd spend the rest of my hours & minutes with family... keeping the mood happy, so that when i did pass off, the last thing i'd see were cheery faces.

I sure wouldn't waste my time making a list...that would waste time. Probably spend time with my S/O...get her knocked up so I have something to pass on in this world...goto confession(I'm not really religious but who knows, maybe there IS an after life...always good to be prepared). I think the final thing I would want to do is drive a really fast car...not too picky since I probably only have like 2 hours left by then, into something really hard...like an indy car straight into a concrete wall. I don't figure it would be a great way to go but dang that would look sweet on the news!!!

I'd end up dead within three hours.


I do the family and friends thing first then... I'm not sure.

I'd hope there would be a party and lots of girls sucking my dick but that won't happen.

I would try to get a large loan. Then I'd throw a party with all my friends to say goodbye. Then I'd give away all my things (and the loan money) and go for a drive along the blue ridge parkway.

I would say goodbye to the folks and family, and then I think I would acquire a sweet car and drive as much as I could, as fast as I could.

It's a really tough call though. I like to think I would enjoy life instead of moping about it ending in a few hours.

First, I'd talk to my loved ones and explain the situation. Then I'd drive to the nearest forest and take a long hike through the woods, then sit near a lake, think and write. I believe the results on the notepad found near my rotting body would be interesting.

phone and talk to everyone, tell them the situation, and tell them i love them. I'd make a makeshift will, withdraw all the money i have, and walk around the streets giving it to all of the homeless/buskers. I'd probably just walk around some more after i've run out of money. then I'd go and find a lonely beach with some beer and a pack of cigarettes =)

Call my sister, and the rest of my family: for less than 10 minute total.

The rest of the time in, on, and around GALAXYGIRL, smiling, laughing, listening, loving and being happy just to be with her.

With about a minute left, I would pray for some more time!, because the clock might be wrong.

I would start my day with cofee. If I dont then I just go nuerotic. Then I would go to the nearest place with guns. I would buy some old antique weapon like a cz-75 and a Thompson. From there on Im going to jack a Icecream truck. Ill go postal.

I will be the ICECREAM MAN running LITTLE KIDs with my van.

After going pistol I will go on a rampage like that dude in that one movie falling down.

Since Im too lazy to do any of this. Ill just dream about in stead...
