Complete my preparations for my family prior to my deployment later this month. I will be gone for 8-9 months, and I am almost done with financial and legal preparations. Spend the last few days together as memorably as possible.

There is no way I could stay awake for 24 hours, let alone imagine all my way through it.
But for a more moderate goal, I might be able to achieve the silencing of one or more psychological 'ghosts' from my past. I could link more fully into the noosphere to do this, which is a useful goal in itself.
Or I could finish reading "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", which so far is a stunningly good book on psychology as well as being an education into better thinking. That might actually get me imagining for the next 48 hours.

I would love to be somewhere warm and serene with my family and just relax and enjoy them. It's hard to show them your true feelings in the normal run of things between basketball, volleyball and homework. Ahhh It paints a pretty picture in my mind.. I guess I'll do my best and barbeque tonight and we'll all go outside. It may only be an hour vacation but, it'll be worth it.

The things I am wanting to do include these things:
Go on a backpack tour of Europe
Try sushi at an authentic sushi bar
Run for breast cancer or heart disease
Adopt a child from the United States (not Cambodia or any other foreign country) why not a kid from our own country??? why not improve what we have here???

I do the best i can getting through high school, and try to remember that I am special. I TRY to do homeowork. My pizza hut job reminds me everyday to keep my GPA up. I try to love everyone, and I try to get opinions(well i'm on here right?) I enjoy helping other people, and helping them answer questions. I think that in life we all have to work together.

Oh such bad answers to a great question. Let's see...24 hours is very easy to stay awake through but there is just too much I'd like to achieve. It's like the famous "you have 2 weeks to live" question, but with less time spent with the family and more inspirational achievement.
First I wouldnt waste any of it on Y!A (cure the addiction). I'd go skydiving, take the boat out on the water--the water is so peaceful to me, perfect for meditation. I'd do something thrilling just for me.
I'd love to tour Europe and if this was in my imagination I'd tour all of Europe in 24 hours, but if the question is just using our imagination as to what we could accomplish in 24 hours--I'd rather start a drive for some charities--donate $1,000 to St Judes Hospital and see who will match me. Race for breast cancer, both for a donation to a great cause and just to see if I could finish a 5K or 10K run. $1,000 to the Dr Phil foundation and make a bet with a celebrity for every dollar i get donated in 24 hours, they have to match it. Those are all things I rarely take the time to do but would love to have 24 complete goal-driven hours, things I would like to accomplish.
I'd try to read some of the greatest books of all time. I love to read and I read a lot but there are a lot of Great Books I've never read. I never read Catcher in the Rye, never read The Fountainhead.
I'd love to try and convince gas prices to stop with their monopoly and their price gauging, stop buying up all the technology and actually spend some of their 45 billion in profit and helping new technology to be implimented that would help the earth in the long run. Make cars run on less gasoline. In my lifetime I've seen octane levels drop from 93 to 87, but why stop there? Why not get it to 43 octane gas? Donate maybe 5 million to several cities that could use that money on the city's public transportation. On building subway systems like they have and use in NYC and Europe. But make most larger cities have it. 5 million should help tremendously and at $4.5 million per hour profit, I doubt the gas prices would notice barely 1 hour of profits to large cities. The cities are not able to raise taxes enough to pay for that on their own, but the gas companies could actually do something to benefit the environment.
Thats probably the end of my 24hours though. Just think of all we could accomplish if we actually used our day instead of wasting it.

24-hours of imaginings? I'd end up writing a bit, or chopping some photos.
Namaste.

Tell people about Jesus Christ, who is the ONLY way to Heaven, if people are still awake.
