What would you do? How would you spend it? Obviously spending time with your family is a key point, but I personally would actually have some alone time with myself, just to get my head together and think it through. Of course I would probably hoop alot but also do some fun stuff and spend some money. And attempt to do things that I never had done before. Take some risks. Have some fun. Buy some courtside seats to a rox game. Go to a fancy restaurant I've never been to before. Organize a get together with the whole family. This is kinda inspired by a documentary and by the stories of people who actually get heart-breaking news like this. It's kinda mind blowing. So what would you guys do?

I'd spend all my time and money trying to find Natalie Portman and walk up to her to ask her for a dying man's last wish.
Same thing I do after work or on the weekend, distract myself with comforting food, escapist television and that one other activity that helps me sleep and/or forget everything else.
Do lots and lots of crying and self pitying. Then probably create a huge drama when it's close to time.
Start random fights cuz I've never been in a real fight and I wanna know what it feels like. And if I get seriously injured, so be it.
Bear in mind, at some point we'll all know we have one week to live; orderlies will stop giving us crap about missing routines or will just ask us how we're doing more often, and younger relatives who never come around will show up all of a sudden at the same time and seem a lot more interested in us.
I would question this endgame. From an emotional standpoint, a physical fight is like a compressed version of a crime, a nasty marriage or some other irreversible bad decision.
Make a personalized video message to each of my family members and friends. Oh, and also clear my browsing history.
Hmm this a interesting thing to think about. Pretty cool thread OP. Day 1: I'd wake up and eat the most awesome, delicious breakfast you could imagine. I know this isn't too special, but for me it kinda is. I hardly ever eat breakfast and when I do its something small like cereal or a bagel, so I'd take the time to have a scrumptious breakfast. Then I'd call up all my close bros and go hoop it up at the Y or somewhere with a nice court. We'd hoop it up probably most of the day then afterwords we'd go chill at one of their houses and beer pong it up/party all night. I'd find a moment throughout the day to tell each one personally how much they mean to me and I how love them and appreciate our friendship. I wouldn't tell them that I had a week to live, at least not yet. Day 2: I'd wake up with another good breakfast and call up some people I know and beg them to let me try and spend a few hours with the Rockets players, or at least Luis Scola. Since this is all hypothetical, I spend the whole day with the players and even get to play 5 on 5 with the players. The players on my team would be me, Scola, Camby, Lowry, and Parsons. I'd pick Lee but I'm a SG . Afterwards we'd all go out to a nice fancy restaraunt for dinner and I'd get to ride shotgun with Scola there. We'd talk Rockets, basketball, and everything in the world at the dinner. That dinner would be the best I've ever had and I'd thank each player personally and tell them how much they, and the Rockets mean to me. Day 3: Id start the day off jogging around my neighborhood with my dog. It would suck realizing that I would not only lose everyone I love in a matter of days, but I would also lose my loyal, awesome dog . Afterwards I'd make peace with my dog, shed a few tears, and take him and give him to my cousin. My cousin loves dogs and I know she'd treat him great. Anyway, this day would probably be a family day. I'd get together all my family and have a BBQ. This would include my close cousins, aunts, uncles, grandma, and of course my immediate family. We'd have a great time and like before I'd periodically throughout the day try to have a special moment with each member of my family. I also wouldn't tell them that I had a few days to live, at least not yet. Day 4: I'd finally grow the balls to tell the girl I've liked for the longest time how I feel about her. I'd go straight to her house and go up to her without saying a word and give her the most passionate kiss you could imagine. Hopefully she would reciprocate the feelings, but even if she doesn't say anything I'd probably explain to her my situation and tell her that I had to tell her how I felt about her before I died. After saying this most likely she would fall for me . I'm not a model or anything but I'm not bad on the eyes either haha. Anyway, I'd spend the rest of the day with her doing whatever she wanted. Even though the day should technically be about me, I'd make it about her . I'd take her back to my place at the end of the day and you can guess what would happen next haha. I wouldnt go psycho and hump her brains out like you see in hardcore prOn, instead I'd make deep passionate love to her all night into the early morning. It would be so incredibly sensual and awesome. She would know I love her by the morning haha. Day 5: Wake up with my girl by my side, and take in the moment. I'd take a minute to reflect on my life and realize I only have about 2 more days left. I'd take my girl all around the city and go do stuff that I haven't done before. I'd FINALLY sit court side at the Rockets game thanks to the tickets Scola gave me . After the game I'd go up to Scola and talk to him for the last time. Id ask him to please keep in contact with my younger brother and immediate family. I'd reiterate to him how much he means to me and how he made me love the game of basketball so much more. I'd tell him he really does have the heart of a champion and no matter what anyone says, the Rockets are blessed to have him wear their uniform. (If you haven't guessed, Scola is my hero lol) I'd leave the arena head high and feeling like a million bucks. That night I would right a letter to my unborn son about how much I looked up to Scola and how he played the game with so much passion and heart. I'd make it clear that he was one of a kind. And yes that night I would be sure to impregnate my girl so my offspring could live on lol. Of course I'd tell her and she'd obviously agree . Day 6: I would spend this day writing letters to all my close friends and relatives about my situation. I'd tell them how much I love them and I'd explain how I didn't want them to know of my situation until after I was gone. I'd apologize for all the times I've screwed up, and thank them for always being their for me. I wouldn't mail them till day 7. Day 7: I would rock hard with my favorite band, Aerosmith all day. I'm an amateur guitar player so although I'd suck it would still be awesome. I'd see my girl one last time and I'd mail those letters. Then I guess I'd drift away.
I always laugh when things like this are asked. You would be so distraught about knowing you had one week to live that nothing would be fun. End of story. Which is why it would be spent with the first couple days saying goodbye, then acid for the rest of the time. lol
I would make a video about my life for my child and call it My Life, starring Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman.
lol obviously but this question is really asking you what kind of things have you wanted to do your whole life but couldnt for some reason.
I always laugh when things like this are said. It's all about the mindset that you have. You can either bask in your misery, or have a positive attitude. I believe this is what distingushes a strong person from a weak person.
