Spoken Word/Oratory:


This is your life.
Good to the last drop.
It doesn't get any better than this.

Sometimes we forget this simple fact, and we live unconsciously.

If you never knew that you were alive.
I mean really knew it,
you've always been dead.

Before it happens,
you'll probably look back and take stock of your life.

Leave your livestock alone and remember:

This is your life.
Good to the last drop.
It doesn't get any better than this.


This is your life.
It is right here.
All you have to do is open your eyes and look at it.


The scariest part is figuring out what you want to do before you die.

It isn't a list.
It isn't an opinion poll.
This is one,
simple,
question.

And you have to know the answer.

But first thing's first: Imagine you're dead.

If you were dead,
right now,
what do you wish you would've done before you died?

Why aren't you doing it?

We are the middle children of history, and all middle children have to find their own way.

This was inspired (though I certainly don't consider it inspired, I'm only saying that some of the phrases and all of the ideas came from somewhere) by Daniel Quinn and Chuck Palahniuk.
