If you were to be told that today will be the last day of your life, what three important things will you do?

In a perfect world we have the knowledge of when, and even how we are going to die, that way the soon to be living challenged has a final chance. One final chance to live their life. Yes today will be my last day, but thank you for telling me. For now I have the chance to change who I am, and the change in me will last until my last breath. Thank you for telling me of what my day will end with for now I have that one chance to determine which mark I leave to be remembered. When you sit back and think, and I mean really think about what you would do the day you knew you would die, would you have similar thoughts as mine? What is important to accomplish in life that can be experienced on a to-do list and a soon to expire time frame? Twenty four hours and ticking…. get to work.

1. To tell or not to tell THAT is the question- And I do not have an answer, I do know that if I decided not to tell verbally those I care for, I would personally write them a letter stating all the facts. However I would keep it rather short, writing, stuffing the envelope and licking stamps just brought me down to 20 hours and 18 minutes (but who’s counting?). If I made the choice to share I would tell just one soul, one person whose own eyes bore through me, knowing my deepest fears, pains, loves and desires. I would tell just one soul, as the rest will soon know and if verbally I spoke the words of my impending death I would have less then 19 hours and 2 minutes. I know that may seem odd, after all I am only telling one person of my death, but remember I am telling the one person who valued my life. That one person was a time penalty due to tears, vent, tears, but why, tears, its not fair, tears…get the picture? So it is safe to say that I shall write my letters, after all, for the first time in life I wish to be in the moment, to tell father time to stall my clock, for the first time I have only one deadline and it is fast approaching.

2. To regret – All that was loved and lost is forgiven, to all that was lost and never loved a pity, for in my final moments I shall have no regret. After all today is my day to die, what good is it going to do me to sit around thinking what I should have done versus what I did? Ive made my peace, Ive lived a good life, if others don’t see that then it truly is they with the regrets and not me. My only regret is I forgot where I left my ATM card and there is no way I am dying with that much money to go to a non existing estate. Ahhhh there is still the old fashioned banking, and this is my number 2 I shall spend 46 minutes in the bank withdrawing everything but my 2 cents, if only I hadn’t gone during lunch rush I could have been in and out. I have what 18 and some odd hours left right? (Please don’t expect my math to be up to par, after all today is my special day).

3. My final moment, yes this is my final moment. Around 18 hours left and Im already a bit bored with this whole preparing to die thing. There is nothing better then a road trip to cure boredom. For the next 1028 miles I drive, and I drive, I have time to think, time to reflect, time to regret… My only regret is that in my final moments, my last 18 hours I drive down barren highways, heading out of the world in the manner I arrived…Alone. With just two minutes left I pull to the side of the road, apply lip gloss, recline the drivers seat wonder which time zone I am in and does it matter that Ive switched over? Will I still be taken at this moo…

Before Death Checklist…A Top 10 List

Everyone has one, regardless if it is written or just in our mind, we all have a list of “What I want to do before I die”. I used to be the same as all of you who have one. I even accomplished many of them. Then one day as I was reading my list I realized that there was not much left to do and I started to wonder what would happen once I completed said assignments…

I realized that if I could complete everything I ever wanted to do then what would I have left? Would I make a new list? Would I feel as if I accomplished something special? Would I feel as if I succeeded? My answer was no, because once you have everything you want, you end up wanting more. I realized my list was to easy, travel, skydive, rock climbing, SCUBA, etc… It was a standard list of to do that most people have, yet I was actually fulfilling them. The thought of completing the list scared me, so I wrote a new one. It is safe to say I may never check one of the following off but its fun to think about and I will never get bored of the daydreams that revolve around my top ten, all of them are desired yet I exaggerate just enough to where if I even succeed I still am not able to mark it as completed.

10. Ride a Great White shark – In reality I just want to be in the cage nearby them, but since I could do that for just a few hundred dollars I have to actually ride the shark for it to be a valid check.

9. Climb Mount Everest – Since anyone with 200 grand can sign up to climb this it would not be hard to do except for the fact that I am to cheap. If I even had that kind of money to waste, I would never actually spend it due to the chance of frost bite. I really am quite attached to my fingers and toes. However the fantasy of climbing it is still there.

8. Spend a night in jail – Odd you may think, but well its something I have not done and it seems like it would be interesting to at least be handcuffed and booked. I like having my picture taken so I would completely geek the camera for the mug shot. However I am a law abiding citizen and would not break the law just to experience jail. I am to cheap for bail money and I do not look good in stripes.

7. Boob Job – Seeing as I am flat chested I sometimes wish I had cleavage to show off. However I do not like pain and I think it would be painful to have my nipples cut off and foreign material shoved into me. So although it would be nice to have say a C cup, I will just continue to use “Houdini Bras” (now you see them, take it off and now you don’t).

6. Smoke a Cuban Cigar – Will not happen due to it being illegal in the U.S to buy Cuban cigars, not to mention I do not like cigars. And even if we were allowed to purchase one, they are to expensive.

5. Become a pilot – I have flown in a plane, and I have jumped out of them, but I have not flown one myself. This is actually one I can accomplish but I cant be expected to have a list of things to do that wont allow me to have a few checked off.

4. Win the lottery – Will not happen, because I do not play, but I do often spend the millions in my head that I could win, had I played.

3. Become president of the United States – Considering I do not even vote and considering I have smoked pot (and yes I did inhale) I am almost positive I would not win the presidency.

2. Become a Astronaut – First off I do not have the education to warrant a seat on the next shuttle but I am also to tall to become one. There’s a limit and I pass it by one inch.

1. And the number one thing I wish to fulfill in my life is to never live life based on what society deems normal. This is something I have already completed, but since I am still alive the only way to mark it off the list is to continue to live life on my terms not what others dictate. Once I “fit” in, then I will have erased the check mark.
