Wouldn't it be funny if
« on: January 19, 2007, 10:23:41 pm »
Wouldn't it be funny or better yet SAD if the world came to an end, a big rock hit the earth in the next few years and those of us with HIV and other illnesses are constantly worried about dying soon. Wouldn't sobbing and worrying be such a waste of time.

   I guess that is one way to look at it.

   Myself, I just look at the fact that for the most part I feel good and don't want to waste it with worry.   I'll save any sadness for when I come to that bridge over troubled waters! 

   I won't even let the nagging pain in my knee that keeps me awake most nights get me down.  As long as I am putting on weight and able to eat...  I am happy as hell!

 PS..  If a rock starts coming to earth I nominate AC/KC and I to fly up there in F-14s and shoot that sucker with nukes.  Of course I'll be Will Smith's character and he can be the character that flies into it.  KC, sorry homie you will be missed ::)

It would just be funny.  Nay, hilarious.

However, I believe that your point is best summed up in "live everyday as if it is your last."

Because chances are that it's much more likely to be your (or my) last day via "bus accident" than the world's via "collision with large meteorite."

There was some talk that such an event might actually happen on Friday, May 13, 2029 (yes, a ways into the future).  But now that has been discounted although there is a slight chance that this asteroid could pass through a "keyhole" and end up in the same orbit with us and smash into us 6 years after that.

I am a firm believer in that tomorrow is promised to no man, so I try to make the most of it, the good with the bad. Even though sometimes I feel that I've been given the shitty end of the deal a few times. So, I just put on my shit kickers and wade through the mess.

Hello ,

To be quite honest, I am not worrying about dying soon. If I spent all my time thinking about dying, I wouldn't be living very much. When It happens it will happen. Death is the only certainty in life, enjoy each day the best you can. It could be a car wreck that does me in...

If a rock was heading to Earth, I would start charging up the credit cards...

Well, I'm still planning on being here in 2029... I know we aren't promised anything... but I'm not about to give up.  And with that latest study saying that HIV+ people on HAART have well over 30 years projected life expectancy things continue to look more and more promising.

dtwpuck,
You should get at least 6 years in retirement...   now they say it won't hit in 2029, the earliest possible is six years later...   :-)

Of course, I'd say those of us here would have about as good of a chance of doing something about it as our government does.  If they tried to fix it we might as well figure that it would get really screwed up.

I feel so much better about it now, Blixer.   Whew. 

Seriously, I think I'm demented.....  I watch every tv show about asteroids hitting the earth I can find.  And I love disaster movies too.

I'm with you dtw... but I've always been a fan of good science fiction.  And my definition of good science fiction is science fiction that has some basis in plausability.  An asteroid hitting earth is plausable and has happened in the past.  Now, disaster movies in general I can pass on.  But disaster movies that have a bit of potential truth in them... that's a different story. I think they make us think.

So skeebo, you going alone to the moon or are you going to set up a charter and let some of us in on it too????

I really don't obsess over death.  I do kind of not relish the parts that lead up to it if it's going to be messy... I just hope there's a lot of morphine so at least I'm really high.  Oh, and a party... I'd like balloons and loud dance music in my hospital room, please.  And 4 Dominican boys in g-strings.  And expensive Diptyque candles.

Skeebo, you have a few years to figure out the design issues on that space helmet.  But don't leave that till the last minute for sure....

And philly, yep, the "lead up" is what I don't look forward to.  Just let it happen and get it over with.  I do like your boys in g-strings idea though...  

And I wonder, how did we get from a rock slamming into earth to boys in g-strings....   :-)

It is all about perspective isn't it thunter?  When faced with a giant rock, HIV sure would seem insignificant!

Yep.  Plus, I always hear statistical evidence that people tend to, um...mingle quite a bit more in the wake of crisis (like post 9/11 and such).  Can you imagine?   I saw  movie about this recently:  Last Night.  Had that Sandra Oh gal from Grey's Anatomy in it.

You could be with me, of course, but there is almost no way that I would be inside in the earth's final hours.  I would be out in the air, dunking my head under water, looking up at the sky...hell, I'd probably hug trees and the whole deal.  That's not to say that I wouldn't engage in some 'dark room behavior'.  I'd just probably do it out in the open somewhere.

yeah.  and they're doing all this tearful hands on the screen to the wife and kids stuff now.  i guess they are doing that 'die for mankind' thing that armageddon did.

oh, yeah.  they flew into the comet to blow it up.  morgan freeman, too?

Morgan Freeman was president.

And Tea Leoni was a reporter.

And everyone gets their news from MSNBC.

Well, there goes the credibility factor for this movie.  My suspension of disbelief only goes so far.

Oh, what?  The Feds are after Tea Leoni now cuz she 'knows about the comet'  ??

Whoa... Elijah Wood's fifth birthday was the day the Challenger exploded.

If I had been there, I totally would've blamed him for it.

Like I did my friend whose 21st birthday was Sept. 11 2001.  Well... she more blamed herself...

time is your enemy when you try to kill it.

"How can you kill time without injuring eternity?" Thoreau. My inspirational quote for the night.

And now I'm off to flirt with straight writer-boys and try to convince them that homosex with me is what they should be doing with their lives. It'll cure them of their affected angst.
Her finely-touched spirit had still its fine issues, though they were not widely visible. Her full nature, like that river of which Cyrus broke the strength, spent itself in channels which had no great name on the earth. But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

George Eliot, Middlemarch, final paragraph

This Deep Impact movie is one of those deals where you're really just waiting around for an hour and a half to see everybody drown or go down in flames at the end, isn't it?

Scientifically, today the Japanese sent out a probe to collect the data from an asteroid that is somewhere in the galaxy some many miles away.
