How would you spend your last day? Relistically...so no bank robberies or shooting everyone in sight...lol

For me I would wake up and see the sunrise, I would then go out and have a nice breakfast, I would take a hour car ride by myself on like a country road, listening to my favorite music that is calming and look at the nice countryside. I would then call up my really good friends and try to strike up one more conversation out of them and leave them with something to remember me by, like a quote or a flashback. I would then hope to get my immediate family together and have a nice dinner with them, play with my little nephew.

At this point it would be like around 5 or 6...I would probably bring up memories to talk about with my family, If not that then I would look back at old pictures by myself and just reflect in the moment.

When 7 or 8 rolls around (assuming I would pass at midnight) I would drive to a place, like a park only with no one around and watch the sunset on a hill.

I would then come back and stop and sit in my car in my driveway for a few and just think of all the memories. I would open the door one final time and assuming my parents are asleep by 11. I would go into their room and look at them and kiss my mother and say bye to both of them without them hearing me.

I would get into my bed hopefully with a 1/2 hour left and open my window to look at the stars and think about everyone and everything that was in my life Although I would be sad and tear up a little, I would smile thinking of my family and friends and although I would miss them, I would see them one day again.

So that's how I would want my last day to go.

I was going to say a lot here but sense you want it to be realistic; this won't be much :x
There is nothing special or big that I'd like to do the day I'd die. I would probably make post on some forums to explain that I won't be there anymore & would try to figure out what to do with my chinchilla. I know my parents wouldn't want to take care of her & I don't really know anyone else.
I thought I mite of been dying a couple years ago. I had just started a med the day or so before & I was at work & started feeling like I was having a stroke. I told management I wasn't feeling well & needed to leave & I called my parents to get me. I got home & went to bed. There wasn't anything I felt I had or should do. I am the opposite of this :arrow:

The man who knows he will soon die has nothing to fear. This is a very interesting subject IMO.

If I knew for sure it was my last day, I would probably steal a Bentley and use it to run over everyone I don't like. Why the hell not if I'll be dead the next day anyway?

I would get really high and have a junk food binge.

I'd hook up with my idol and spend the day, with him.

I already know I will die still pondering what to ever say to my two daughters and soon-to-number-six grandchildren.

if i found out that i had only one day to live, then i would die of fright, and therefore be ripped off that final day.

We all know we are going to die, so why don't we all spend the rest of each of our remaining days seeking to do the best that we can for ourselves?

because it is too much effort for me. while i am alive i want to relax, because i will not be able to experience relaxation after i am dead. when i am dead i will experience nothing. i do not know how anyone can experience nothing because nothing can not be experienced.

i lifetime eating pie is naught compared to a deathtime of of non experience.

i may as well just lay back and witness the instant of my life that will be eternally forgotten by me after the final blink of my eye that shuts the universe out of my life forever. a forever that is another instant of neverness that occurs for no time at all.

all occurrences are contained within a singularity that is an instant that is too brief to be described as a duration in universal time.

this makes sense to me now, but tomorrow it may elude me.

If that is what you want to do with your life, then I would say that when you do that you are doing the best that you want with your life.

I have no faith in the idea that I will experience no more after the death of this body. I think it is a nice idea. I am open to the possibility.

i have already been dead forever before i was born.
it all passed in no time at all and here i am alive. i expect that it will happen again.

i can not say where heaven is, but i think it is on a point of equilibrium between forever and never.

good grief i can say no more and i will now depart bound for my bed who's covers shield me from such speculation.

But first you have to become a Muslim and a martyr to get them :twisted:

It reminds me of an anecdote about a man whose young and beautiful daughter got diagnosed with an incurable disease. On the same day he heard on the news about a Muslim suicide bomber who said he'd get 72 virgins in his paradise for it. So the man from our story went to his daughter's bedroom that evening, mumbling: "f**k you Ahmed, my daughter is the virgin you aren't ever going to get a chance to put your dirty hands on." :twisted:
