Tagged - If today was my last day on Earth

This post is a direct Tag result. Man, I hate tags. They bind me in boundaries.

I try and hide from bloggers who I think might tag me. Yet, one of them finally found me and caught me by s'prise. Lol. Next time, I'm borrowing the invisibility cloak from Mr Potter.

I got tagged by her majesty, the Princezz. The bad part about this tag - it was on a negative and a depressing topic but the good part was that it sounded challanging and made me think.

Not to mention the fact that she made it sound like it was a challenge put on.. on me !! So....well..I got sucked into it.


The Tag : If Today Was Your Last Day On Earth.

The obvious meaning - If u were gonna die today, wot the hell u gonna do, boy?

The way my mind works - What if you've traveled to Mars on your extended holiday and saw your beloved Earth blow up from there? You know you're stranded then. Wot u gonna do?

The tag line was quite easy to squirm out of...if you thought about it for a minute and I almost did. But then, if u took it in a sportsman's spirit, it was food for some mind crunching thought...for something that was finally inevitable.

So, Princezz, since you've tagged me...I'm doing it for you. The following is a small something that would explain how I think about it....

"If today was my last day"

'My best friend gave me the best advice,
He said each day’s a gift and not a given right,
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind,
And try to take the path less traveled,
That first step you take is the longest stride.

If today was my last day
And tomorrow was too late,
Could I say goodbye to yesterday?

Would I live each moment like my last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime I have?

They say, 'against the wind' should be a way of life,
What’s worth the prize is always worth the fight,
Every second counts ’cause there’s no second try,
So live like you’ll never be livin' it twice,

Would I call old friends I never see?
Reminisce of memories, Would I forgive my enemies?
Would I find that one I’ve always dreamed of?
Swear up and down to God above, that I finally fall in love?

If today was my last day,
Would I make my mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it’s never too late,
To shoot for the stars, regardless of who you are.

So would I do whatever it takes?
‘Cause I can’t rewind a moment in this life,
Let nothin’ stand in my way,
Cause the hands of time are never on one's side.

Weekdays, I'd be busy,
So I would like to go on a Saturday.
I'd then get a chance to say goodbye to everyone,
so the weekend feels like a party anyways.

I would ask if anyone would like to come along,
and see everyone laugh, as I secretly believe,
This is not the real end, I'll be back,
And when I do, I'd once more...like to be me !!'

If today was my last day, I would die happy, u see !!

Penny for your thoughts, Princezz?
I'm not passing on this tag to anyone. This is not a subject I would like anyone to spend time to think on unless they are about to make a WILL (in which case, I'd like to be included in it plz. 'Wide Grin'.)

On a POSITIVE note, If I had to die....I would want to die laughing and keep my name upheld for all it's worth. :-)

Ladies and Gentlemen...My name is Anand !!!
