You have a month or so left to live

Mammogram is down but I'm working manually
Spend every minute with my daughter and wife and take them to meet all my old friends back east I haven't seen for awhile. Lots of good beer, good food, good friends and family. My brother will love my Harley and will keep it shinier than I do.
I would also like some sort of countdown crystal ball, no Seacrest but Daniel Tosh would be cool.
10---9---8---7---6---5---4---3---2---1---ZERO....uh oh folks, WAIT HE'S STILL BREATHING!!!...oh my bad, he's gone.

make sure both of my boys had one of my basses and an amp. travel places i want to see and see my favorite bands perform live. giant send off show with my band. the end.
I can't imagine living a hunky dory life knowing I have such a short time to live.

Nothing - it's just not what I would really want to do with a month left to live. I've already done it consistently my whole life.
I forgot about travelling. I would definitely want a chance to beat my meat around the world before I croaked.
I bet it would be VERY freeing! I think most of us would feel down, but come to acceptance of it very quickly. A lot of us would do things that we probably never thought of doing before that. Could actually be the best month of your life.
I'd get a notarized letter from my doctor confirming my situation then I'd ride on my bike to every show of every band I liked that was playing in my local area. I live in So Cal, so there's always a lot of them. I'd explain to them my situation and see if I could get a sympathy jam out of 'em. Also, hookers and, erm, I'm not into blow...how 'bout more hookers?
If the doc can predict exactly 30 days, it would be nice to have it narrowed down to the exact minute or second. Then I'd have time to think of the strangest or most inconvenient place to croak. Like a ski lift or while on jury duty.
You don't have to stop. But now you would have the opportunity to think bigger. Like mortgage your house and get 5 smoking hot high class escorts for a full on orgy instead of rubbing one out in front of your computer at home.
How do you deal now, knowing we only have a short time left to live?
Things are pretty hunky dory at the moment, no?
Isnt that the same fate for all of us?
We dont know how we're going to die.
We could all be facing a month, or even more, of suffering.
Or not.
Believe me, when you get 5 high class escorts involved in a full on orgy, you still end up rubbing one out. Theres only so much room!
I don't live my life knowing I am going to die because even though it is a reality, it isn't pre-determined when. I could die choking on some apple pie tonight, or I could 50 years from now in my sleep.
When I find out I will die in 30 days, that puts an entire different perspective on it for me.

Would it change your perspective any if your death were pre-determined, only you werent aware of when?
What if you knew that tonight you were going to die choking on some apple pie? I bet you'd try and avoid eating apple pie.
I live knowing Im going to die, and for me that makes life all the more precious.
I dont fear death, I welcome it. Im actually looking forward to it. But in the meantime, I welcome and appreciate the time I have.
I dont think knowing when, be it 30 minutes, 30 days, or 30 years would change anything for me.
(Im not saying that it should not for you)
