makes me think of that Edward Norton movie "25th Hour," except he didn't die, just going to prison.
not sure what I would do. I'd tell my friends and family anything and everything I've always wanted to tell them. then spend my last hour somewhere scenic, like the Grand Canyon, with my husband
When I was single I'd have definitely drawn my savings, go out and buy all the drugs I've refused to take in the past, pay for a couple of eastern European whores for the day and gone wild.
Now though I'd probably spend it all with my GF, not even going out with a bang would be better.

Honestly, nothing comes to mind when I try to think about what I'd do. The situation seems just so unreal and impossible to think of a rational answer that doesn't involve me killing myself before those 24 hours are even up. Parkour
I was asked this question this past weekend and it really made me think....
" If you had one more day to live, only 24 hours and you knew you were going to pass on the 25th hour. What would you do with those 24 hours. "
I work every day with people that are living this. So for me it's simple, just keep doing the things I like doing. But I think I'd take the day off, and just call a few close friends to say let's do dinner.
I think I'm pretty lucky to have done quite a few things in my short time on the planet (ok 52 years might not seem short, but it really is). So don't think there would be a mad dash to cram a few more things into 24 hours.
Are there a few things I would still like to do? Sure but most of them are not worth the hassle (airport waits and travel time), for that last 24 hours.
Thinking though, I think the perfect last day would be to watch the sun rise in the morning, spend the day outside with friends, have dinner and watch the sun set, a fire on the beach and some star gazing. Mostly because I have had a few of those type of days at different periods in my life and they have always be great days.
I would get my kids and the one I love and fly to Ireland. With a bottle of Merlot in hand, I would settle myself on a blanket looking up at the clouds and listen to waves break on the Irish Sea. Of course some Celtic music in the background. Now, I just have to hope my last 24 hours it doesn't rain (what are the chances of that in Ireland-he he).
Id probably create some kind of video of myself to give to my family, tacky i know, but i started watching home videos i created when i was young with my siblings and its always great to see how we were back then, and spend the rest of my time being with them an my significant other
I would write a real quick goodbye letter, go out for a good meal and then get totally trashed on every kind of alcohol and more importantly, every narcotic I could get my hands on.
I have a weakness for old country like Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, Willie Nelson etc... especially the sad songs.
me too! George Jones, Freddy Fender, Charlie Rich, Charlie Pride, The Stattler Bros, Oak Ridge Boys......
i would spend it with my wife & son. even though he's only 15 months old & won't remember me...i'd record our last day together so he'll know how much i love him and that i wanted to spend my last few hours with him.....i need a tissue, lol
