If you found out that you only have 6 months to live, what would you do?

[Geoff]

ROAD TRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!!!

Mmm absolutely. I think I'd try and do that long way round thing... motorbike around the globe.

Deeper? What do you mean? My understanding is that heroin is a pretty intense and consuming experience. Does that qualify as "deep"? I wouldn't regard quitting heroin as an "experiment". I'd regard it as an experience as intense as the heroin itself. I don't think I'd be particularly interested in experiments with 6 months left.

Give us your top 1, digest. Lemme see where you're coming from here.

i meant 'deeper' as 'more meaningful'.

as for me, i'd want to give myself over completely to something i'd been afraid of my entire life. like being totally vulnerable in love.

I considered that, but personally I wouldn't want to risk fucking someone up with a 6-month love-affair. Unless they were terminal too. That could be cool.

Heroin isn't actually as flippant an answer as it might seem.

yeah, good point. tell you what, if you'll do it for me, then if you're ever terminal, then i'll love the hell out of you. deal?

Sounds like a plan.

I would rob a couple of armored transports (I have it planned out in detail. I like planning crimes, but never executing them if they've got a chance of screwing up my life). Anyway. With a few hundred thousand dollars worth of cash I would first go to holland and buy 20 prostitutes at the same time, smoke lots of weed and be hooked up on viagra. I'd probably be stuck for a month.

Then i'd go to some country where I can get a hold of tons of weapons and stuff. Possibly the U.S. I would spend some time hunting, drinking and just breathing in nature... The only things missing here are prostitutes and music. But hey, nothing can be perfect. They would scare away the game.

When I just have a short time left, I would probably kill a few people that I sincerely have come to hate over the years. Method? Long range sniper rifle. With the exception of the only person I truly hate in real life, i'd probably kill him with my bare hands. Disturbing? Ransack yourself, there are people you'd like to kill, too. It's a matter of personal honesty. I don't think I'd go through with any of the killing parts, tho... Most of those people probably have families, and not all of them can be evil. Crap...

Alright, i'd maim them. Or at least like, capture them. And really tell them how much I hate them with a few thousand words, over a glass of fine 40 year old Laphroaig single malt whiskey. Wait, i'd probably have them impaled... Shit, I can't decide

I'm mostly kidding, people =P

I wasn't being flippant. Absolutely serious.

Cancer wards are dripping with morphine.

I'd augment it with moderate amounts of cocaine 3 months into the "treatment".

 

[BerberElla]

Well unless some miracle happened I doubt I would be able to afford to do any travelling in my last six months, because I would have to come up with travel fare for me and my 3 kiddies since I would want to spend all my last time with them anyway.

I guess I would just be pretty much the same, there isn't anything super pressing I would feel like doing besides giving my kids as much time with me as possible, I would pull them out of school for that time and just do as much as I could.

I would also finally agree with the publisher and producer about the release of my biography since I would be dead and wouldn't have to live with the guilt of anyone who got hurt in the process.

Pretty boring and tame, but realistic for once hey.

 

[Prototype]

1. Travel the world to smoke the finest weed.
2. Steal something cool from the Vatican, and post it on YouTube...
3. Smuggle back some of that fine weed for later.
4. Create the largest paper mache hand gesture I could manage for the world to see.
5. Make a new list if the doctors realized it was all a mistake.

 

[EffEmDoubleyou]

1. Travel to Italy and stuff myself with food, wine and beauty.

2. Give away my possessions in person to people who would like them. Much more satisfying than writing out a will.

3. Wear a velvet smoking jacket and an ascot ALL THE TIME and try to be the world's smoothest lothario.

4. Publicize my plight and try to garner public support for a free trip into space. Yes, I know this will never happen, but I'd have to try.

5. Write a book that's partly a memoir, partly a confessional, partly a chronicle of what it's like to slowly die fully cognizant of your fate, partly a love letter to people in my life, and partly a collection of life lessons for my nephew. All while being funny instead of mordant. This would be the most important thing I could do, and I've never seen a book quite like it.

Amazing people!!! I see that we are just getting our goals straightened out here, for our "end" day. I like it, it's quite intriguing how different people want to do totally different things....before E day.

I was inspired by someones post here, it made me think of something else I would like to do....

Go bounty hunting for Ben Ladin!
Worse case scenario, I die trying, best case scenario, I capture the MF and we bring him to trial!

 

[anii]

Quit my job, get rid of all my stuff, make a will, and spend the rest of my time and money traveling, telling loved ones I love them, volunteering where it moves me, taking risks, writing bad poetry, singing my heart out, and fucking every hot guy I can get my hands on.

 

[Virtual ghost]

What would you do if it turns out that diagnosis was wrong?

I have ideas but I will keep quiet for now.

Sue for emotional upset etc etc, and THEN go travelling with all that money.

I was just curious how long it will take to get this reply.

 

[kelric]

1. Not tell anybody.

2. Write. Probably nothing anyone would ever care to read, but I'd write anyway. Philosophy, perhaps an explanation of who I am and all of the things the people close to me don't know. Mostly honest, but with a couple of small lies to prevent anyone from feeling responsible (even if they're not - they'd feel that way, and I see no reason to drop that on anyone).

3. Travel. As much as I could afford, anyway - Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa. Antarctica if I could get there.

4. Fight like hell. I don't want to die, and doctors have been wrong before, and people have pulled through when nobody thought they could. It can happen.

Guess I don't have a #5.

List 5 things or more that you would try to do, before kicking the bucket.

Is it inappropriate to list names?

Ha.
Ha.
Hee!

No. Not inappropriate at all.
