If you had one year to live....

[Parts]

If I had one year more to live I'd just quit job, quit school quit everything like that and take my savings and just have a blast.

And if you don't have saving rob a bank

[Calandale]

Or just max out a lot of credit cards.
Hell, I'd be afraid that I'd end up
surviving to face the damages.

I
Would kill
A few people probably
And then brood about it and write a novel
That maybe gets adapted
As a moviefilm
That sucks
Badly

like that Stephen King book.

Well, I was assuming that since I knew it was a year exactly, it was more like a mob hit than a disease, let alone a contageous one.

Tesla didn't specify what kind of death, you could have found out about the illness late.   Doesn't have to be a disease necessarily, I am just saying it depends on the situation.   In the case of a mob hit, I would find a way out of it if possible.   I would at least go down fighting in that scenario.   I would of course probably know who ordered the hit as well.   I was more thinking of a illness or some health failure that was completely unavoidable.

GA, obviously you can do a shitload of them cuz you're not worried about fucking up your life. and yeah, i dunno about life sober but life on drugs is fuuuuun. i would get all the valium i could get my hands on omg. i could take more risks trying to get them. hell i'd do valium with or without dying, it's just hard to get them and other shit. i'd also grow opium and weed. and i'd speedball.

Doesn't explain why though

Tripping is very enjoyable those hours can seem like days at times and it's always an adventure.

Move back home, and play one last big wargame.

Moved the wargames here. Been going strong with them for the past 4 years or so.

My answer is different now than it was in 2007.  I'd care about different things.  The hedonism wouldn't really be an issue.  It would depend what I was dying of, but if it didn't involve too much pain or disability, it would be something of a relief, though not being the one making the decision is an unsettling thought.  Not a lot of people to live for, right now; nobody I can think of who'd care for me at the end.  Kind of a lonely thought.  I suppose I'd try to spend more time with people- maybe cut back hours at work- but, really, there's nothing especially meaningful I'd probably do, or feel the need to do.

Me neither, except finish uni. Then I could say that I actually finished something.

sounds morbid.

[Jack]

sounds morbid.

Welcome.

[postpaleo]

sounds morbid.

Welcome.

Thank you.

In seriousness, I think a lot about this topic, but not always in present terms and there are outside circumstances, on why I might do something, even given a year.

[postpaleo]

what would you do?

what would you do, with only a year and...your girlfriend, boyfriend, said they want a baby? would you do it?

["couldbecousin"]

  I'd definitely go to Ripon and Telluride.  I'd spend up my retirement fund from work.
