If you just found out you had a week or a month, a short time... what would be the first thing you would do?

Interesting question. Honestly, I would actually wish I would live for a shorter time out of fear of dwelling on my own depression for that last week/month. I have questioned the quote many times: "It's better to burn out than to fade away."
To play along, however, if I did discover I had a relatively short time to live, I would spend my last moment alone in peace, reflecting on life, maybe write a last poem. So much of my own personal philosophy and subjective view on happiness relies more on being than on doing.
I'd probably spend the week planning towards `going out with a bang'.
I've already done a lot of so-called `stupid' things and still alive, I'm sure I could think of a few more that would `work'.
Bungy jumping, and visiting/tracking down old lost aquaintances, maybe travel around and preach the good word

Don't think I'd do anything out of ordinary. Can't see any reason for that.
Call me a spoilsport, lol.
I have a plan: attack!
I would try to incite revolusion in any country I could, that way I could be dictator for life, umm 1 week.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. Never was a chef, but it sounds good to me.
Which country Riddick, I'd go with the US

...so I'd have to opt for seeing as many of the great landmarks (natural and man-made) of the world I could work in. I think I'd either start or end with the Taj Mahal.
Den's got a good point... I think I would go out with a bang... in such a way that history would remember me... but I think first I would write a few short stories or something... I dunno... maybe paint a picture, write a few love notes...
Told by a fool, signifying nothing.
I'm with Tabac on this one I think I would have to do some travelling, see the great landmarks. Then maybe on the last day try all the daredevil stuff. Wait I just changed my mind a day isn't long ebough to do the daredevil stuff, maybe the last 2 days, but then that doesn't leave room for the travelling. Can I have 2 weeks????? Please?

Start now, papayahead. You may get an extra week, when lucky. Live it as it was your last.
If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.
That may not always be the best attitude. I think it sais something in the good book about that. oh well we only get 365 X 75 days so we might as well have fun!
