When you know it's almost over....

When you are convinced, or pretend to be convinced that life as we know it is nearly over, what would you do? Would you try to do all the things you wanted to before that would usually have given you long-standing consequences?...Or would you clean up your life as much as possible, and tie up every loose end? The end of life implies a mysterious fork-in-the-road to make us wonder how we want to live our lives. At the thought of life being over, what is you idea of living to the fullest? Sometimes, I think the way we live in our dreams is how we would act if we were seizing the moment. (oh gosh, I can smell jokes coming off this last sentence...)

I'm curious what as many of you have to say, I've gotten both types of responses through conversations.

Yeah that's a hard one... I would like to say that I'd tell everyone I love them and be kind, but I'm not too sure of that. I'd just try and get out somewhere and see something beautiful... go out to the desert and see some sunsets and sunrises etc... I'd try and have as much fun with my mates as possible and of course you'd want to be there with someone you love when it all ends... ah I don't know.

well, seeing as how most living is worthess anyway, i think i would be a waste of time to even consider what i'd do, because if i cared in the first place about how my life was going to turn out i'd realize that there was no chance at any actual evolution that would preven my own mortal end, so i'd just up and kill myself right then and there, not even bothering to wait for the end. But since i don't care, i won't even bother to do it myself, I'll just smile in the first pure and unadulterated bit of absolute in my life knowing the end was near and that it would deifne something totally objective and subjective at the same time.

Up the dosage.

up the dosage? turn down the volume!

ok, fine, i'll play along. I'm reminded of a passage from stephen king's The Stand. "Then a man ran up to me holding a bag of cheetos. He was the first person i'd seen in hours. 'Hey, where are you going?' I asked. He replied, 'I'm going to yankee stadium. I'm going to run around the outfield naked and then masturbate on home plate.' "

Yeah, something like that, depending on how much time was really left.

I'd rent a Ferrari, find the highest cliff around and drive full speed off of it. Might as well go out in style eh.

Splurge on the finest bottle of bordeaux I could find, an expensive variety of cheeses, fly to Tuscany with my loved ones, and hopefully time it right so that I die while in mid-orgasm. While listening to some Franco Corelli.

Sounds good to me, but sadly the one I would want to share that with, even at the end of the world, wouldn't want to share it with me... so...

I'd go off by myself and find a nice, quiet glade in the forest, sit down under a tree and wait. I wouldn't want anyone else there at that moment. I wouldn't want to burden anyone. I'd sing because I am probably the world's worst singer, but I love it so much. And if I'm about to die, no one can complain that I suck. :-P

I would go to my dad, and shove, one at a time a box full of thumb tacks under his eye lids so that he may finally see the pain he put me through. Next I would go and find my birth mother. After serveral kicks to the stomach for the two failed attemps of having me aborted, I would thank her for the hatered she filled me with. Last of all, I would sue MTV for making me think that we should all forget our opinions and just get along. On second thought, I might just go get a tattoo on my nuts that says, " have a ball" then go and get captured my cannibals. Either way, I will have the last laugh.

Don't hold back, Scorp'! Tell us how you really feel.
