      This is the End (For You My Friend)

      Today is the last day of your life.  No sense in arguing about it.  All the "no it's not!" or "why me?" won't help matters in the slightest.  You might as well accept it and do something about it.  You're going to die tomorrow.  It's a bright and cheery thought, no?  What do you do now?

      Imagine if you actually had that conversation.  After you got over the initial shock of it, which admittedly would be substantial, how do you spend that last day? I'm pretty much obsessed with the idea of it.  Of how to spend my last day, when I know it's coming.  In fact, I'm pretty sure that I've written about it on here before.  The only difference is that now I've decided that I'm going to do it.  No point in saving up an awesome day until the end.  Might as well do it now (when I say now, I don't mean right this minute, just in the near future) So here's what's on the agenda:

      1. Sleep- not so much going to do it.  It's a waste of time if you ask me.
      2. Eat breakfast somewhere amazing before dawn (Daylight Donuts I'm looking at you!)
      3. Stop being a gutless monkey.
      4. Play punk records very loudly and jump around a lot.
      5. Get out the electric guitar and play loud and fast out on the sidewalk while reverse pan handling (give money to people instead of asking for it)
      6. Eat lunch at Dew, mmmmmmm....Vietnamese Sandwiches
      7. Dance!  Satan said Dance!
      8. Get revenge on everyone who's ever wronged me (that's a good idea, right?)
      9. Drive at completely unsafe speeds.  Who cares if you get a ticket when you're going to die anyway?
      10. Go to the gym and stand on a treadmill with roller-skates.  Workin' hard that.
      11. Change clothes at completely random times, wearing things that don't work together at all.
      12. Challenge all comers to a fight.  Anyone, c'mon!
      13. Apologize for any offense that any of the above has caused.
      14. Rescind apology, fight again.
      15. Eat at a taco stand.  So tasty, yet so risky.
      16. Fight crime.  Vigilante justice is always fun.
      17. Go bowling (what? I like bowling).
      18. Make a short film about something, I don't know what exactly.
      19. Sing Danke Schoen during a parade.
      20. Cook something frickin' amazing.  Yet to be determined.
      21. Pull up next to someone, knock on their window and ask them if they have any Grey Poupon.  When they say no, give them some.
      22. Move something with my mind using the force.  If this doesn't work, then turn to the dark side.
      23. Reverse hustle someone at pool.  I really suck, and would gladly give you my money if you have to suffer through playing me.
      24. Defeat the evil villain and get the girl.  This sound feasible.  Always wanted to do this.
      25. Perform terrible poetry in a bar using the word effluent.
      26. Two words.  Sledding ski-run (ok, I hyphenated one)
      27. Rock the full on handlebar mustache.
      28. Say goodbye to the family.  Then remind them to drag my body into the woods once I'm dead.
      29. Tell everyone that even though I'm dying, I'm going to take a bunch of you with me.  Then laugh.  For my laugh is an evil laugh.
      30. Well personally, I kinda want to slay the dragon.

      Sounds like a good list right?  What would you do if you only had one day to live?

      Me? Finally write my great American novel. Also get a pedicure, so the toe tag looks nice.

      Matt, sometimes you scare me. I'm not so sure about ideas #8, 9, 16, and 29. I do love #21 though. That would be freaking hilarious. I'll work on my list and post it on my blog a little later.

      So I your going to die on Thanksgiving or Christmas? They are the only days that have snow (#26) and a parade (#19). But then none of the other places would be open (#2, #6, #10, #15). I think your best bet is to hope that there is still snow in March and go for St. Patrick's day. That would definitely help #12, #13 and #14 too. And #11 wouldn't be weird as long as you had one piece of green on :) Actually, you could get away with your whole list on St. Patty's day cuz people would just assume you were drunk. Perfect day.
