Yeah so something that has been on my mind a little here lately. What would you do if you were diagnosed with a disease lets say cancer or something along those lines and you were given one year to live? I know it's a question that gets asked pretty often here and there but it's been on my mind lately. A year seems like a really long time to most people but in the grand of things it's not really. So What would you do with your last year?
A little back story is required here I suppose. Not too long ago I went through all this. I started having stomach pains over a period of about a week and one night at work ended up doubled over and hardly able to move. I ended up in the Emergency Department going through test after test. After about two weeks of tests and scans of all sorts they told me that I had the beginnings of liver disease and that they had found a "suspicious" mass on my left adrenal gland. That sits just on top of your kidneys...Anyway, after much tests and poking and prodding they decided that the mass was benign but told me that "we" need to keep an eye on it. The liver thing is a bit of a different story. From what they said about that I suppose I'll be lucky to live into my 50's.
So with all that you can see why that kind of thing would happen to pop into my mind. I'd love to hear what ya'll would do with your last year assuming that you were still able to do anything you wanted and had nothing to loose anyway.

All of my timetables would speed up and all of my desires would amplify extraordinarily. I'd want to travel. I'd want to sleep with a number of women. And I'd want to celebrate the technical good fortune that is each day of life.
