Your Chance to Pass Along Your Wisdom
You have been backpacking and experienced a tragic accident. You are dying, but have mustered enough strength to write a farewell note from a pen and journal in your backpack.

After writing personalized goodbyes to loved ones, you have enough strenght left to write a few sentences and decided to pass along a general note of wisdom that's a summary of your beliefs. It can be anything really. What would you write.

"Never accept getting old, and live your life as freely and physically as you did when you were young. In doing this, you will always be young. Reject the negativity of others. And never.. ever.. pass up a hot piece of ass! :-)"

I guess it's somewhat obvious I watched "Shallow Hal" recently. I don't know if I'd really write that last part (not that it's not true, mind you).. but the rest I hold dear and true. :-)

Depending on how long it is before your body is found, it won't matter whether you had clean undies on or not, lol...

Oh, c'mon, Geobeet! You need to embrace that inner goth side of yourself. Just don't start wearing Marilyn Manson t-shirts and eyeliner, then you'd really scare me.

It turns out - the face of death is not so bad. Don't live in fear of this moment.

In my relatively short life I have found that a few things make more sense than others:
Live honestly,
if you are religious, then discover the freedom in your befiefs,
be cool to others as you would have them be cool to you,
clean up what you mess up,
hike your own hike,
live within your means,
Love
