Tiptoeing or skidding?

A few years back I got a T-shirt that said I do not intend to tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at death.

The other day I was reading a post about a friend's recuperation and she included the following quote:
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, a cup of hot tea in the other, your body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "Woo-hoo! What a ride!"

I think I need to learn to skid...
