Also, what if it was to fall absurdly close to present? Your last days would be mentally agonizing...

yep, that would suck. But it's an interesting thought experiment. If you knew you had 2 days to live who would you call? Who would you want to be with? What would you wish you had done? These are interesting things to ponder, especially as a year comes to a close and a new one unfolds.

I know many folk who would throw a party. Certainly not me. Aside from writing will, and sorting everything out with relatives, I would probably go to Universal Studios Orlando. To try and forget.

Might even die riding a coaster, only to come around still in the cue. That would make a good movie...

Yeah, I would likely skip the party and prefer quiet time with just those I loved. I would also want to be sober, which is the opposite of what anyone that knows me would guess. I'd want to be as in control of my faculty as possible... but I do love roller coasters and that would make a dramatic finish, wouldn't it!

This has made me think about all the things I WOULDN'T have time to do. I sure as hell wouldn't get to see anywhere special, or perfrom a saxophone solo to an audience without pussying out. Luckily, I still have {ยงยง} years left to fulfill my dreams!

Go get 'em pal. Tomorrow you should bust out that saxophone and play it in the streets! I also perform music and I can tell you that I get freaked out every time. But then the fear subsides and it's just pure fun. Good luck.

If I was dying anytime soon, I most likely would be on the streets. Might as well get some people smiling before I depart
