Carpe diem is a Latin aphorism, usually translated "seize the day", taken from book 1 of the Roman poet Horace's work Odes (23 BC).[1]
Translation
Carpe is the second-person singular present active imperative of carpō "pick or pluck" used by Horace to mean "enjoy, seize, use, make use of".[2] Diem is the accusative case of the noun dies "day". A more literal translation of "carpe diem" would thus be "pluck the day [as it is ripe]"—that is, enjoy the moment. (all wiki)
In ancient literature
Perhaps the first written expression of the concept is the advice given by Siduri to Gilgamesh, telling him to forgo his mourning and embrace life although some scholars see it as simply urging Gilgamesh to abandon his mourning, "reversing the liminal rituals of mourning and returning to the normal and normative behaviors of Mesopotamian society."
Point - it's really old. - Pluck the fruit Eve.
-----------------------------
In this spirit I ask all of mankind to make a BUCKET LIST .
Like Timothy Dalton in the 1988 film Hawks and Jack Nicholson in the remake.
Your Bucket lists must be comprehensive - perhaps a 100 items long.
Things to do before you die.
Here is part of mine....
1. Swim with the Dolphins.
3. eat porridge with a straw.
7. wear my underpants on top of my trousers at Royal Ascot.
14. drink till i vomit off a cliff and splatter tourists on the beach below.
25. Form stupid lists so I can avoid God in my ignorant mind.
57. deep fry a copy of Harper Lee's to Kill a mockingbird.
62. wake up a town with a nuclear warning alarm..
66. change road signs about. haha, so funny.
70. Get the full collection of football cards from 1977.
75. eat some Dolphin Burgers.
87. live on an airplane for a year.
95. have a sex change and then reverse it and have it again? so undecided.
98. eat jellied eels in front of the queen, while she's eating and see if it makes her queezy.
100. parachute into a live volcano with dynamite(last one).
You must realize that programming takes many forms, your life is pretty meaningless until you
fulfill your bucket lists. Maybe your bucket list is more sober, more even keeled. I see them all
as a form of madness. Inspired by the king of this world Lucifer. Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
so tick off the holiday to end all holidays. Eat all the exotic foods you can. Do a parachute jump with
a naked lady. because something is coming.

I find the idea of doing something crazy just because you will soon be dead faintly ridiculous.
Do the things you really want to do while you can but jumping out of aircraft or swimming in the ocean with wild animals just for the sake of it is rather strange.

Always thought that Zorro's number one was to be raptured soon. He's gonna be busy in the next few days. I'd think number two on his list is to realise that he's been disillusioned for a few years and number three is to apologise for posting crap for so long.
most bucket lists are pathetic. the same BS. no imagination.
like swim with dolphins? this is brainwashing made evident.
somebody has said it and people with no imagination have picked
up on it. Nobody pre 70's would even have this in their brains.
It's like driving a sports car?
Shag a supermodel?
Run the NY marathon?
people really have no idea what to be up to?
they steal money from banks and buy ridiculous BS stuff.
sport cars, drugs,jewelry - they think more stuff brings happiness.
it's pre programming by society. It's a fake ideal of satisfaction.
what are you going to do with your winnings? if you win tonight on our quiz show?
Oh - i want to go to outer Mongolia and eat cheese with the natives.
it's always an overseas holiday... I'm surprised if they say something else.
what they really are saying is.. my life is tedious and i need to get away. escape dream. then they get back and have something to talk to people about.
the cheese was amazing, no cheese ever tasted so good.haha.
