Living Like I was dying.

One problem with trying to live like your life will end in a short period time, is you are not truly dying. Some things you would do have very little long term negative impact. I just made a will using legal zoom. It is a very basic will, but it has been something I have put off doing. No matter when I die, having a will completed is always a good thing to have. I have one allowing for changes to be made over time.

Some things would have a negative long-term impact or could have a negative long-term impact. Driving around a race track at a very high-rate of speed would be fine if you had only a short time to live. So it would be things which would have a short-term positive but would or could have a long-term negative.

Things I would tend to do. I would work less, If at all. I would not have to worry about money for this period time, so I would not work to spend time doing things I would like to do.

I asked many of the people I work with, what would they do if they only had 40days left. I received many responses. “Rob some banks.” “Quit my job.” “Leave on a final vacation.” “Take revenge/kill on all my enemies” “Get a bunch of credit cards, and max them out, by spending it on strippers and hookers” “Continue to do what I am doing now.” No one answered the question by saying “I would check into the hospital to find out why I have only 40days to live!”

I wonder how honest one could be on this topic? To be COMPLETELY honest I would have SEX! Well I would want to have sex I am not sure someone would want to have sex with me. I don’t think anyone would want to marry me. Now is this being selfish? Most of what a person may do would be in part a benefit to them. The person who ‘loves deeper’ is not drained of his love. The person is filled up with love, joy, and peace. When I wrote my will, I made it simple and gave everything I owned, except my car, to my brother. The car went to someone who could use a car, such a gift is given out of concern for the other person. I would enjoy personally handing them the title to the car. The person who climbs the Rocky Mountains or rides a bull for 2.7 seconds is doing it for the enjoyment received. While I may also want to do this more than once, It would not be the only things I do.

I would spend more time with parents and my brother. I would hope my other brother and his family would come up as well. I would visit as many of my relatives as possible. I would want to reminisce about life. I would also help make funeral plans.

Besides having some sex, I would also ride a horse; take a trip to see some sights. If money is no object, then Museum of natural history in New York, with mom and other relatives to see the work(s) of my Great-uncle F Lee Jaques. Talk to all my cousins. Some cousins I have not talked to in YEARS. Visit some classmates.

Some of the time would be at work. Not for the work itself, but for the enjoyment of being with the people I work with.

I hope I don't offend anyone by my Honesty.

In the time of this experience, I would have my 44^th birthday. (Oh my goodness I am getting older!) So I would have a huge birthday party. (I think this would be where some of the sex would take place.)

Enjoy a bottle of pop from Mac’s Hardware. Watch at least the top 10 best movies of all time. Also watch the top ten comedies of all time.

Giving

ON THIS NOTE…

Do we make it difficult for others to give in secret? Do we critizies others because we do not see others giving?

Recently at Church they challenged people to give their jackets the ones they brought with or worn that day. I went down to my car and took out my jacket (it was warm enough for one not wear a jacket) and brought it back in and put it in the box. But when the person giving the message does this it seems to be forcing people to do it in front of others. It is not my intent to do it in front of others. To do it for others to see. ( I was glad to see the video showing people giving the jackets, I was not in it since I took extra time to get my jacket)

Allow people to give, but allow them to do so in a manor that is not public. If someone volunteers don’t make a video of it. Allow people to keep their giving a secret. It will help prevent people from being tempted to have it become a moment of public praise. And don’t criticize others if you don’t see them giving. Find ways to encourage others to give but don’t let be a public display.

NEWT's Denial

If I understand correctly how Newt responded to his daughters inquires to his asking his wife for an open marriage, it sound almost like he was parsing his words. He does not make obvious by saying "It depends on the meaning of 'open' marriage." It seems as if he is saying 'well I never asked for a marriage where my wife could go out and find someone else. It would be exclusive to the three of us. I was not saying I could get other woman beside my wife and mistress. It would be just the three of us." So it seems to have the potential of a narrow meaning.

The people supporting Newt, in my opinion, simply want someone to stand up to the press, and who appears intelligent. He may very well have tried to have his wife, and mistress be in tri-marriage or a poly marriage. Closed to only the three of them not to all of them. Also they want someone who was not a Mormon.

I need to research some to find out why NOT Rick Santorum.

President And VP

I need to do more research on the candidates. But it would seem that the ticket would need to be Romeny/Santorum. But as always what people imagine they could do versus what is possible is much different. So they will be disappointed if they take the White House.

Eye on Newt

Well as the primaries are getting closer I am going to have to start some more research. I will have to keep my eye on Newt Gingrich. I need check their websites and look over there posistions. I did like the bits I heard on Huntsman but I would need to study more, I also need to read up on the current Libertarian Party candidates.

Vice President

Some thoughts for the person who will be selected as the Vice-Presidential candidate. If you think you may be considered, or even if you don't but are a Governor, Senator, Representative, or you used to do such a job.

Come up with forty (40) questions you should be able to answer. From what the Vice Presidents duties are to names of foreign leaders. Also location of countries and their capitals. Each day and at least once a week, Wikipedia and Google search the top ten news stories of the day. Learn a bit more about the subject. Learn that Libya is located in the Africa.

Do a background search of yourself, or have someone you trust perform it. Think about what bad things you have done. Consider everything in your life will be scrutinized. Your families will be be focus on and some members of your family could be destroyed if you put yourself out as a the V.P. Pic.

Debates

Since candidates who do not poll at 4% or more in national polls are not allowed in the debates. I would like to see those candidates go on Youtube, and participate in the debates. Make an opening statement, and then on some questions which are general enough to apply to you, answer. Make rebuttals. And have some people ask questions that are for you. Use YouTube it can be a great tool for you.
