"more important things" than enjoying yourself by doing what you like to do?

Here's an analogy:

Me: What would your last meal be on death row?
You: I'd be doing more important things that eating. Like not being on death row. Oh, and boobies. Mmmmm, death row boobies. argh [drools]

have you seen the boobies on death row? the ones you want youll never get, and the ones you get... you never want.
it is so much easier to get forgiveness then it will ever be to get permission.

TCK!

I'd get a 'Busa.

I'm hope that the other 1 year 364 days of the year I would've had gets given (grammer fail?) to someone with cancer as I go out in flames.....or pieces.

Having worked with lots of people of all ages at the ends of their lives, I could not possibly agree more. The only time any of us really has is right now.

That said, if I had 2 years left I would buy... as little as possible. I'm the earner for my family, so I'd be earning as much, spending as little, and saving as much as possible. My wife and child are my priority.

My wife would probably encourage me to get whatever I want. Fortunately, I've got the bikes I want right now, so I wouldn't have to spend anything to get them.

I really do try to live every day as if it could be my last. I also don't presume that my wife or son will be around in the future and try not to take them for granted.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.
