1. If I’m not physically near them, I would call my parents/immediate family and tell them the obvious.

3. I’d lay there. I’d rest and reflect on the life I had. I’d wonder what’s next or where I’m of to.

Warren from Vancouver, Canada says with 5 minutes left to live he would...

I'd phone my parents & sis to say I loved them (as I'm descending the stairs) and then I'd run down to Wreck beach, drop my board shorts and start swimming straight out into the ocean. Nothing feels as good as naked ocean swimming, and I'd gladly have it swallow me whole.

Loving Annie from California says with 5 minutes left to live she would...

I'd call Mike and tell him how much I had loved him, and where to find my Living Will.

I'd make sure I had on clean underwear. A cute pair.

I'd say my prayers as I went, hoping that God who I haven't always treated very well was still listening to me, and forgave me for all the time I took his name in vain and said I didn't believe in him anymore.

In no particular order:

Smoke a joint

Crank "This time" by The Verve

Write a witty farewell for my Facebook status. For example: "sizing up
asbestos underwear for the upcoming fire and brimstone treatment"...
"pondering eternal damnation, how long is eternity after all (other than
awhile)?"... "practicing looking into the light"... Or, "wondering if
anybody knows any good angel jokes?"... Or, "assuring everyone that rumours
of my demise are on the money, later suckas!" Finally: "wondering if
pants-ing St. Peter is an appropriate ice breaker"

Jason C from Toronto says with 5 minutes to live he would...

All at the same time, I would:

1. I would open the best bottle of wine quickly available and pour a glass, then drink it throughout the rest;

2. I would write a final blog post thanking my family and my readers and leaving some sort of final thought;

3. I would call my parents, grandparents, and brothers. This is after #2 because #2 would work for those who I do not have time to call.

Char H. from Toronto says with 5 minutes to live she would...

Call my parents and my brother and I would be with my husband and hopefully my kids if I had them but I don't have any yet they are still inside us.

Anyway five minutes is not a long time to do much.

Oh I would allocate all of my assets and funds and make sure they know I want to be cremated and thrown over Mount Rundle in Banff, Alberta.

I would want as many members of my family to do the trip together and talk about how great I was all the way up the mountain, which takes about 6 hours to reach the top. I only expect the healthy to make the journey but doesn't that sound exciting.

Also I would pray really hard that God has a place for me in heaven and that he can take pity on my pour soul and forgive me for my indiscretions. I want to die with everyone praying for me so I can die with a huge smile on my face and be content that I am going to a better place.

Lil'L (myspace) from Germany with 5 minutes would...

Lil`L (myspace)

From GERMANY

5 minutes are A VERY SHORT TIME.

So-think-…

1. I would tell those people in my life which
I really LOVE, that they haven’t to worry and that im always with them,
No matter if im alive or dead. – My Soul –is with them - Forever.


2. I would go out (just 4 one minute)………maybe even….. into nature
and take a last time a look around me to notice all a last time,
and of course: take a look to heaven, bcos I love to look into the sky and the clouds…. Or at night watching stars over there.

And 3. and last –but also the most IMPORTANT thing over all others:
I would “lay in my LOVEs ARMS” and kiss him till the end of time….

That’s I think what I would do..

hmm – what else…?

1 minute – can be SOMETIMES a LONG LONG time,

But 5 minutes – to make a real important decision – or in a short time to decide 3 special things,

Is really not easy…

Sweet Greetz,

Lili from Germany :)

If you had five minutes left to live what three things would you do? I believe that by people submitting their answers to this a new dialogue can begin which may help to shape our minds, actions, government and future.

This blog is your blog. I am only moderating so that it does not get hijacked.

If you had five minutes left to live what three things would you do? Post your answer as a comment which I will then post. Please include your first name and last initial as well as your location.

My three are;

1) Say goodbye to my family and ask them to CELEBRATE my life not MOURN my death.
2) Make sure that beyond the needs of my family for their future I have no money left in the bank.
3) Hug the love of my life (Charmaine) and thank her for her love, strength, understanding and sharing her life with me.

What about you?
