heeh, I've seen that before bro.. Its pretty accurate, huh? I was expecting something different but that is cool too.

I have something to ponder...

I work in an area with alot of retirees and they do alot of golfing, walking, talking, drinking and sometimes I see alot of cars at one house and the house soon goes up for sale, there after... Know what I'm saying? Today I see this old dude sitting at the edge of his garage(they do that alot!) with an oxygen tank as I drive by. I'm working like hell but I begin to think to myself... what is going through this guys mind? He is sitting still, hooked up to a tank for life support... I know what he is thinking... He wishes he was driving that truck as I pass by.. I start to ponder what else he would like to do if he were able.. obviously he isn't able and I'm sure there are alot of things he would like to do or wish he had done. I've tried to make sure I get the most out of life but I'm sure that I'm missing alot... When I was 20 I had a close friend and we made a pact to skydive and bungee jump.. we did bungee jump(not the sissy jump where there is something to catch you, this was a real hazard.. little mishap and your dead), I have yet to skydive and I need to do that before I get too old. What I'm getting at is... life is short and you have your youth now.. what would you do with your youth if you were the old dude with the oxygen tank?? Put yourself in his mindset... What is there that you want to do that you haven't done?? Don't take life for granted, it could end at any moment. The fact that we are alive and kicking is a miracle in itself, to me. I plan on taking a ride on the bike tomorrow and maybe I will take it for a good long cruise or buy that Harley and cruise across country someday..

I've put myself in that mindset throughout my life, gets me in trouble sometimes . If I wasn't able to move, what is it I would want to do more than anything?? What would I want to experience, that I missed out on?? What would you do or what haven't you done??

Don't take this the wrong way.. I was going to make a post like this anyhow but your title was close to what I was thinking.. it fits nicely.. I was going to make another post like this.. don't know if anyone is really interested in it but... it just may give folks something to think about...
