Food is yummy

about a month ago i was watching fight club with a friends and at the part were they are about to crash in the car and have to answer what they wish they have done before they die, my friend asked me what my answer was. i honestly don't have one. i made up some bullshit one for the sake of the conversation, but i really don't understand the point of thinking about those things. i mean, i am glad that i am alive as opposed to being dead, but if i was dead, what would i care about anything? considering i believe that when you are dead you are dead, how can you have regrets after you die? it makes no logical sense to me. i can think of things that i want to do while living, but once you factor in death it changes the equation for me. for example, if someone asked me what i would do for a week if i did not have to worry about the consequences of that week on the rest of my life i would be like, i would blow all my money and go travelling. if they asked what i would do if i knew for certain i only had a week to live, i would say, go say bye to everyone and then spend my remaining days eating all my favorite foods. food brings me great immediate comfort, who knows what a week long trip will be like. since i will not keep the memories, why bother with a trip. i would rather just gorge on all my pleasures, which happen to be primarily food based.

yes i have motivations, i want to go to grad school, start a business, travel, write a book, etc. but if i don't do it before i die, oh well, i won't be around to be disappointed. i just don't comprehend the logic. and if it is really that important, and you aren't working towards your goal in some way right now, then clearly it is not that important. what ever is holding you back has priority.
