What Would You Do On The Last Day Of Your Life?

Today would be a good day to whine about how difficult is to move from Germany to New Zealand. Getting rid of all the things I cannot take with me, making sure I said good bye to everybody before I leave the continent, all that sort of stuff. But that's not interesting enough to write about. It really isn't.

When I was with my parents on the weekend, there was this 17P/Holmes in the news, and it really got me thinking. This particular comet seems to be rather harmless, but the sky is kind of huge and a really big one could hit us any day. Just like that, without a warning. There is nothing we can do about it -- we can neither predict nor prevent it. All life on earth would be extinguished in a split second. Chances are it's not going to happen, though. I mean... it hasn't happened so far, and that's a good sign. But let's assume it would. Are you prepared?
This is not a matter of religion or something. It's just that everybody says "live every day as if it were your last," but nobody does. At least nobody I know. Surely I don't. And to be honest, I wouldn't even know how. If tomorrow would be the last day of my life, I wouldn't know what to do. I know for a fact that I cannot squeeze everybody who's important to me into that one day (because that's what I'm trying when I'm planning a farewell party -- believe me, it's impossible!), so I'd have to make a choice. I suck at decisions. An additional problem is that it would be everybody else's last day, too. So even if I could meet everybody I like, they would want to meet all the people they like, too, and so forth. It would all end up in everyone meeting everyone. In other words: it wouldn't work.
What else is there to do? You cold have fun all by yourself, like reading a book, watching TV or something in the same line. But on the other hand, you could do that every day. It's just nothing special and certainly not fitting for everybody's last day.

So the question is: what would you do, if the whole world had only one more day to live? Feel free to leave a comment ;-)
