You just found out that the world would unquestionably end in two months due to a massive asteroid collision. How would you spend those remaining two months? Is your life in order? Would you become more, or less, religious?

I'm about as conventional, unexciting and boring as one can be:

1, get a BMW or Kawasaki Sport Touring bike and tour the USA
2, go sky diving at any location that's worth stopping
3, arrive in Key West and go wakeboarding, jetskiing, scuba diving
4, add anything else sports, fun, water and sun to it.
5, last 2 weeks - fly back to Austria. Get another bike,
5.1, tour Austria - 3 days
5.2 drive home
5.3 go on a 3 day skiing trip with my dad to the Austrian Alps
5.4 have a decent glass of wine with my dad
5.4 sit with him on the terrace and watch the asteroid coming in.
*The End* (literally)

.... maybe i'm a bit overly organized...

Naw, just another dramatic title to get people to take notice and participate.

Let's see, What Would Dgridley Do?

First, I'd make sure I have Deadman's Switch installed on my PC to make sure anything potentially embarrassing gets deleted

Then I'd pull an Earl and rack up some Karma points by righting all the wrong's I've committed...

Mostly, I think I've lead a pretty decent life.. according to my beliefs, I get another chance down the road (again and again) to be a better person until I finally get it right.

I will continue as its going right now.

Because I again think the asteroid is not going to hit the earth.

Maybe because there had been too many false alarms in past, so now.... I wouldn't even believe it if I am looking into the sky and see it coming.

Dave, your good at pulling these stunts. Just like a while back when you created a thread called 'RIP dgridley' or something of that nature.

I would be trying to have as most fun as I could - traveling, visiting friends and being with family.

2 months, 2 days, 2 years, 200 years....

we all gotta go sometimes....it's an inevitability.

But if it was certain the world is ending in 2 months,

put things in perspective...what's really important and what's not
i wouldn't really care about the bills or the making money, cuz it's pretty much worthless.
of course, lots of prayer, lots of family time...making sure i've mended any wrong i've done to anybody....
make arrangements to be with family all the time till the end.

but i pretty much try to do most of that now anyways...after all, you never know when you're number is up.

i mean, you know..name me one person alive 150 years ago that is still around. people think they're all that and everything....but one minute we're here taking our life for granted....the next we're rotting in the ground.

yeah, it's a depressing post...but heck, this is a depressing topic...

i mean time goes buy so quick. i bet you that when i look back at my life when i'm 80 (if i live that long) it will seem like i was alive for only two months. it's scary how fast time goes,

seriously, think about your past right now. take a pad of paper and a pencil and jot down everything you remember that you have ever done, everything you've ever had done to you. make your own novel/autobiography.

like, i'm 30 something right now...and if i were to write a novel about my life, i'd be lucky to fill a 1/2 hour worth of content in....after living 30 something years....

i'll get off my meta physical soap box now....

Just recently one of the managers of a local store, who was in reasonable good health announced his retirement, he decided he had spent all his life working and now it was time to enjoy himself. He went to the pub that evening for his usually pint had a massive stroke and died.

He has a very impressive head stone now and loads of people turned up to his funeral, but, he is still dead and he spent his whole life working to get to that point.

Was sad and makes you start to think, what is the point. 6 years ago I gave up my regular job and an $xxx,xxx salary when I discovered my son was born with brain damage, my perspective on life changed. I sold my house, car and moved out to the middle of the country on an island in Scotland. Now I spend time watching my kids grow up and enjoying being with my family. Work is secondary and as long as I have enough money for a reasonable standard of living thats all that matters.

That seems, that is the way it kind of works out, we work all our life, save and prepare for retirement, then when we get to retire, the health problems kick in, we don't get to enjoy squat.

Then, all of our retirement money ends up being spent in a old folks home. at that point it d
