food for thought

[avad]

stole this from nefri's journal because it certainly triggered thoughts and actually may have pushed me right out of a recent stagnation/confusion:

"An angel comes down right now and tells you that you will drop dead tomorrow at 5pm. No sickness, no reason, just that. Nothing else changes in your life (money, friends and family still the same). What do you do?"

I feel I have my answer and might start working on it, just would like to hear some of yours too...:)
much love,avaD

hang w/cheetah, mostly in bed, maybe spend a lil of that time w/each other's fave movies/music/dance moves, etc. some walking along my usual hike route he comes with me on now & then. i'd write him something for right after, and some things for later on. i think we'd play it by ear where i drop dead. i'd want it to be just us together as it ends, but dropping dead in the park, even snuggled under blankets under the huge cedar or something, rather than in bed, would leave him engaged in the world, some momentum. i hate death. i think about it more than is useful for me. i'd take a pill or have brain surgery if it would make me believe in everlasting life among loved ones.

it's true it'e true!! ok, well not Just among loved ones...well, but in a way...but we don't remember/recognize them as loved ones...not right away anyway...but sometimes we do....it's like a fractured glass..reflecting...infinite variations...well,*sigh*

Use all (not that it's that much) money to have all my friends and family from everywhere flown in. Made a huge meal. Eat, drink, read, sing, dance and be merry.

Well that is a hard question. We are brought into the harsh world drowned in noise and light. Then to just vanish with nothing more then a wisper is good for some, but me? I think I'd have to go out in a blaze of glory. Yeah I know sounds like a weird guy thing... I just don't think i could bear the thought of my family seeing me Die on the spot of my loved ones seeing me just fade away. I'd fill my day with my loved ones and doing this with them. Since I don't have a girlfriend or anything, I'd have to say to the people i love how much they mattered in my life, give my money to all the people i know that need money, and let everybody i know take 3 things of mine that would remind them of me.

Do one last drawing.

Then, i'd find the largest strip of deserted road, jump into the car i have now, say my good byes and have my friends cheer me on as I attempt to make a car go as fast as it can in 1min.

like i said, blaze of glory.

I'd also have to say that if there was some kind of dangerious assignment that people needed done, but was only a one way thing... I'd use my time for that as long as it helped the masses...

maybe i've been reading too many comics ;)

But if i was gonna go, i wouldn't mind if it was earlyier then 5pm as long as it was helping people.

I will keep that in mind when I need someone for special dangerous assignments, thank you!;)

I know my family would want to spend time with me, but honestly, I'm just want to spend the time with my wife. Maybe get our sleeping bags, blankets, good red wine, some chocolate and other goodies, and head over to Benicia SRA where we got engaged. Walk into the hills where there is almost no sign of civilization, spread out the sleeping bags, lay down, and just enjoy each other. And we'd probably end up crying a lot thinking about what was going to happen, but I think that would be unavoidable.

i would probably try and enjoy the heck out of it...like see family live life to its fullest and go out with a bang ya know what i mean...and try and leave something very interesting for ppl to find
