Nickleback

(Editor's Note: The question today involves a powerful song by Nickleback and rather than provide the whole of the lyrics I will just answer some of the questions that Chad asks through his song. Grayson sent the lyrics to me and asked for my thoughts. Thanks Grayson just watching the video has already changed my life.)

1) If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late could you say goodbye to yesterday?
My answer is probably.

2)Would you live each moment like your last, leave old pictures in the past?
I'm pretty chubby in a lot of old pictures so I guess I'd leave them in the past but I was a pretty cute chubby kid so maybe I wouldn't leave it in the past. But yes I'd live each moment like it was my last.

That's me being chubby

3)Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
I'm actually still carrying a lot of debt from a failed attempt at law school. My net worth right now is in the red. So I can't really help you out there.

4)What if, what if, if today was your last day?
I'd go sky diving, rocky mountain climbing and riding a bull named fu man chu (Ideas courtesy of Tim McGraw.)

5)And would you call those friends you never see?
Some of those guys are pretty hard to get a hold of.

6)Reminisce old memories?
Maybe a little but I'd probably be busy sky diving.

7)Would you forgive your enemies?
I never really had an enemy but there was this tall guy who was interested in dating this girl that I was also interested in dating. Once when I walked past him with the girl he shouted out, "No chance little man!" I hope he's found something better to do with his time now.

8)And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Recently my dreams have involved buying a projector to watch movies on a wall in my house. But really why would I do that on my last day.

9) Swear up and down to God above that you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?
Already did that one. I'd recommend it to anyone.

10) If today was your last day would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
Well the thing is I already do that a lot. Almost everyday I've mended some kind of broken heart so sure I'd fit it in to my last day as well.

And finally also some lyrics from the song that I've actually painted on the ceiling above my bed with glow in the dark paint so I can be inspired as I fall asleep.

You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side
