If today was your last day...

So recently I have been hearing the song by Nickelback called If Today Was Your Last Day, not the best song , but it has made me think. The lyrics say quite simply, "If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too late, could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past? Donate every dime you have? If today was your last day."
This has gotten me thinking. I believe that this song is asking us if we were to die tomorrow, what actions would we take, but I, having the crazy imagination that I do, decided to look at the song differently. If the world were going to end tomorrow, how would mankind act? Would the world be completely chaotic because everyone decided to be rebellious and do the things they were too scared to do otherwise, or would we be overwhelmed with the monstrosity of the situation and begin to forgive our enemies, make ourselves look better for judgement day? Just think about it...

Now I present a third option. Would we try and deny the inevitable? Would we fight our hardest to keep our race alive?
This seems like it would be a great screenplay. Haha. Unfortunately the basic idea has been used far too many times. I will consider it and get back to you all. In the mean time, what do you think would happen?
Amber, Amee, and I sat down today and mapped out the rest of the first season of GP. The nice thing about producing a webshow is that no one can stop you from making more episodes. The first episode was off to a great start. Within an hour of posting we got 45 views. Only four of them were Amee and I. I apologize for the two minutes of black at the end. We are still just learning. I promise you the rest of the season actually has a storyline. It should be interesting with the perfect blend of comedy and drama. Yup, we are doing a dramedy! If you would like to be a part of our show (Neil, don't worry you will be a part of it), please comment below. We are coming up on a few episodes where it would be useful to have extras, and possible camera help.
I hope you are all doing well! Enjoy the summer vacation!!

  1. i would think that mankind would maybe go with the third option, as humans' natural instinct is to survive and make sure that their offspring survive. i think that there would also be people wise enough and at peace enough to just accept the end of the world. not trying to sound depressing here, just tyring to think of the possibilites.

    chris :D
