This Is An Easy One...

I would have the biggest grin on my face! Post all the formalities at the dear old Dr's office, I would tell everyone in my life that matters to me and get that part over with. Painful as that aspect would be, what would it do? Kill me? 
Then, I would use whatever is killing me literally to evoke the legend that was Eric. Bring back the man that I was and have Carte Blanche one last time. No one would stop me, nothing could hold me back. They would know how much I loved them, know how much fun you can have if you want it bad enough, know just how to live for the moment, while still eye balling the future. Eric could finally make the impact he always wanted to, for not any reason other than dying!
When you're on the way to meet the next chapter, somehow your words become wise. Your eyes tell more tales. Your experiences read like a road map for those following. People pay attention, love it or hate it.
At some point, I would sit down with my sisters and 3 closest friends and express any wishes post my demise. In a twist of fate, I have done that already...so it would be more like a review of sorts.
-
I love you.........plain and simple!
-
I really wouldn't give a crap.
Just carry on, business as usual and make sure, damn sure my significant other is well taken care of when I fall off my twig ;)) -
My prayer would finally be answered. I would be scared
the first day. Then I would contact my two friends and
tell them. I play bass so it would go to this guitarist/bassist I know. Then I would tell my family. I
already have my grave plot paid for so I would hurriedly
pay for my funeral. I would want it open casket so anyone who's there would see how happy I am in death. I'm guessing there would be a few people who
would talk to me about the meaning of life. I wouldn't
be interested so I would leave. I wouldn't be able to
wait until my wretched life would be claimed.
I would want to be here, in my apartment, when this
life would end. I would want to be alone. It would be my
event to celebrate.
Anyway, Quoth The Raven Nevermore. -
seriously dude, what are you waiting for? you are dying. granted you are dying from a fatal case of life, but none of us get out of here alive.
evoke the legend that is Eric! seize the day and all that jazz. You might not leave for 50+ years, but you might leave tomorrow. Why wait? Use the good china, and live like you were dying -
That’s a really interesting question.
Besides the usual denial/acceptance that all people go through when they are told they are dying. I think I would pretty angry at myself for living half lived life. I would take whatever time I had left remaining to live my life the way it should be, rather than how I have been. As a matter for fact, I just start doing that now. Thank you for the question.

I would live life to the fullest! I would spend alot of time with family. I would give all I had to charity. I would try to make more of a difference in the world. And everything you said, totally. :D
-
I know that if I knew my time was near, Bucket List is truly a good way to put it. However, there are a few folks that better look over their shoulders as I won't be around long enough to pay the price for their untimely demise!!!!
-
All of us are dying, it's just that ill people have a date... the rest of us don't :) anyway, i will spend time with the family (for their sake) but would defintly travel pamper and indulge myself in everything human spirit would want in materialistic way...

Wow, great story and great attitude all of you. I would like to recommend the book " The Last Lecture" by Randy Paush. Great book on the subject.
-
No need to recommend it. I have read it, and watched the speech itself. =)
Thanks for commenting. -
laugh,go outside breathe in the fresh air...
tell the people i loved how much i loved them..
get my affairs in order...
go home and take time to truly see what ive missed all this time..
just wait for death like an old friend that always been at my side and now is just standing in front of me
as i feel the life leave with my last breath
sounds good to me.... -
I love this thank you for sharing
-
I would tell thos ethat mean the most to me how much they are in my life adn that I love them. Have a great party with them and spend personal time with my true love. I like what Shivashiva said also and take that last bit of materialistic indulgences that I would want....which really is just a great vacation and some good food...oh, yeah lets not forget a great outfit to be layed to rest in. I want to pick that out, and don't forget the heels. Hehehe

No doubt, you have jumped the gun! Your question doesn't match the Topic Guide Line.
Here's a simple fact of Life.: Everyone is going to die. The end result of Life, is Death. Like Bugs, we inhabit the earth to suck the life out of everything else, then procreate, then die. No one has bested that notion, not even the Pope, or the Guru of your choice.
It is absolutely insane to end your life if someone says you are going to die. If anything was redundant, this is. You cannot make something of your life, by dying. When you die, your new job is to nourish earth and send your Ions back to the air. These are the facts. Anything else is Mythology. If you believe in Mythology, you will believe you will become an Magical envoy to set examples to others. Do what you must. Those who love you shall cry. Those who don't, shall be relieved. This is Nature. The Bug Brigade goes on, and on. Food goes in, and garbage goes out. Weeds grow, and weeds die. Are we any different because we have a bigger brain than a Bug? Our DNA is 97% the same as everything else. A 3% difference is a fairly small error factor, don't you think. Only Hero's are remembered, so do something great before you die, not when you die. We have "Names" for that too. That is, if you believe in conformity. My suggestion is; Live as long as you can, to change the crap that's going on, now. Start with Government Corruption. -
Rojo: I did not ask a question. This is a story posted in a group that is fitting for it.
Stop stalking my stories in a futile attempt to pick me apart. You look, and read like an *******. Give it up old man. -
I'll breathe a sigh of relief.

I would be so happy I wouldn't be able to sleep because I would have so much to do.
I would make a list of the people that did their part in ending my life decades ago, figure the best way to visit each and every one so I could move on to the next. Go after low profile people first and work my way up.
I wouldn't kill them, hurt them the way they went out of their way to hurt me, use both the 357 and the 9MM to inflict the longest lasting pain, stuff they would wake up swearing about how much they hated me each and every day.
But keep the knives close by hitting just the right tendons and muscles so they'll know my name until they come to join me and then if there is an eternality I can make that miserable there too.
If I didn’t worry so much about the ramifications of committing suicide I would have done this long ago, but I could face those chasing me with a smile on my face and know I’d be remembered and hated every time it rained or when the cold started to settle in. -
