  • I've never met anyone who had an anxiety attack from smoking weed, and I know a shit load of people who smoke. That sounds much more like something shrooms would do. But whatever.
    no... not necessarily an anxiety attack. rather kinda like a panic attack.... both of them habitually smoke weed... but they're heavy smokers. like you wouldn't believe.

    one day, one of them was getting up to use the restroom then he stayed still and kinda blanked out for a moment. he collapsed headfirst and hit his head on a counter... he cut his forehead open. no stitches were required but he did have some kind of attack. couple months later... my other friend who also smokes weed with him had a very similar kind of "attack". not sure what it is though.

  • I really wish it wasn't but unfortunately I think it's "Boom, Boom...Out go the lights!"

    I think I'd rather smother

  • I'd like to believe there is a sort of heaven but it seems far fetched. I also would like to believe you are reunited with those you love but I don't see how that could happen either. It seems like nothing happens after you die... But I do believe in ghosts so I wonder how that's related. hmmm.

    i believe there is a heaven... only it's not like a physical place where you can describe with colors and sorts. i don't think that we'll be reunited with our loved one's either. i just think that we will be like "spirits" where everything is perfect. don't know how "perfect"... i just can figure like a feeling where it feels perfect. i guess it kinda ties in with your "ghost" theory. those that don't go to heaven stay in this "trap", a spiritual room in which they are haunted and is completely opposite to a "perfect state". i don't think it's hell though. yeah, i guess i'm full of it. :)

  • Heath Ledger's death hit me today. I put the radio on, and at 1pm I heard
    PJ's Black. I needed to hear the words again, from a different perspective.

    Tragic , ending... faded to Black

    My prayers go out to his family, and his fans. Thank you Heath, for the remarkable movies, you entertained the world with.

    i believe in life everlasting.
  • Life everlasting? A 2 year old little girl has no Daddy anymore. She will never grow up knowing who her Father was, or who he could have been. That is the saddest part of death. "Life wasted"

    I am more personally drawn to the conclusion that perhaps we evolve into a higher sense of being. Karma can go bite it's own arse!

    Our bodies rot in the ground after we die, or get burned to a crisp. Your choice. We live on through those in whom lives we had touched. (Quick, need a Mookie editor for that one!)

    Yea I get you on that one. Were you brought up Catholic? I was, but I don't really follow it anymore. The part I really would hope is true, is seeing all those people you lost earlier. Wonder what would happen though if you had a spouse and promised to meet in heaven, but they died and then you remarried... so who are you meeting? hmm. maybe that's why that wouldn't be such a great idea. I definitely believe in ghosts though... so there's something.... but I just don't know what.

  • Your post and the quote remind me of a very visually stunning and artistic view of what happens when we die.
    Check out a movie called "What Dreams May Come" starring Robin Williams, and some other talented actors. It came out about 10 years ago, or earlier.

    I have to agree, Im around Heath ledgers age, and when I heard he died tonight...i dont know why...but it really bothered me. Normally celebrity news/deaths dont phase me in the least.. but this was different...and I cant explain it.
    I know what you mean.... I'm the same age... and Australian... I was bothered to find this news out too. Can't explain why i am so bothered either.

    so yeah, life everlasting. that's my catholic style.

    Ah, yes, I have seen it! That was a really cool movie, kinda sad too. I don't remember it fully bc I have the most horrible memory ever so maybe I should give it another watch. :-D oddly, I remember who and where I saw this movie but not all the details of the movie. hehe.

    well, that's what i mean about spirits. if you were to remarry and then reunite in heaven you're basically not meeting them like a spouse... but rather meeting them in a different form. you'll not see male nor female, father nor mother, no colors or sorts... just spirits in their true form. what that's like is beyond me... it's just what i believe. no i'm not catholic. :)

    Yea I guess that makes sense. I just don't like it so much bc I want to see them as they were. Like I always imagine seeing my grandpas again and stuff like that. But I guess I would know who they were by their spirit. I cannot grasp the idea of spirit though. So crazy. i wish one dead person would friken contact someone so we could validate this stuff already. :)

    yeah it would be cool seeing them as they were... but what if your grandpa is a little boy? or you know... how will they look? if you married someone when they were slim and healthy but once they passed away they were fat and not such in a great shape as they were what shape will they be in when in heaven?

    just my two cents....

    i just believe that heaven is that wonderful place we'll go where everything just feels right. it would feel just as right as reuniting with all your loved one's, falling in love, or that good quasi feeling when you sleep, or when you're eating at a buffet, or having a party with all your friends. that's heaven to me.

    I didn't read the whole thread but I do think of these things from time to time. It puts things into perspective, but what really makes a difference is someone dieing for a cause. Wow.
