When a man knows he is
to be executed in a fortnight,
it concentrates his mind wonderfully.

Reminds me of a Tim McGraw song. I personally don't quite get the whole live like you were dying mentality. After all, we all know that if you are dying, most likely you're not really feeling all that great, right? I personally don't think I have the strength of character to redeem any last moments I might be given on this earth, but I certainly enjoyed watching "Bill" handle his last moments with peace and calm in "Meet Joe Black".

ladies you are draining the profundity...
we need to brace ourselves and face the sobering fact of death. by nature we avoid this. if a date for our death were scheduled in the near future our priorities would suddenly shift in an appropriate way.
