    in my ridiculous head i think of my death & how i'll go out quite often, probably daily. i'd lean towards sleeping & painless. yet part of me wants to go down fighting to survive. in my daydreams a viking shipwreck in the north atlantic would be fantastic as i drown in cold ass waters only after swimming for days or weeks.

    battle 400-700 AD style or earlier is also incredible to daydream on. maybe have an erection for days at a time & make love to 40 women as if a mongolian warlord... then trim my hair & beard with axe, burn it in a goblet with yak shit & spices... i fall asleep on silk pillows never to awaken, then set on fire & placed in the wilds with zero record of my resting place

    If I die doing something I hate.... This happens every day.

    Please, let it end, already. :fp:

    I hate doing things I hate. I rarely get the pleasure of doing things I LOVE.


    For me, it's a bonus, to die doing something I love. In reality, I'm going to die no matter what happens.
    I could be hit by a bus tomorrow.? I dislike buses. :?


    (I would love to die while I was reading a really good book, perhaps there is a chance I might meet the author in an afterlife, and have something to talk about.)

    :lol: Sorry, this thread is too serious.

    Sorry, STAYSEA. I thought about that when I started it. "Is this too heavy?", I asked myself. "Will people see it as being disrespectful?"

    I surely did not mean it to be either. And I never make light of anyone's death- except maybe my own but that could be from having cheated the grim reaper at least a few times. Keep that old buzzard amused and maybe he'll let me hang around a while longer. Every day is a bonus day! I often think about Robin Williams' playing John Keating in "Dead Poet's Society":

    Who would ever want to rule the world? :lol:

    Perhaps, the Coldplay version is better, but I don't like it. Sometimes, It's honest to be completely self centered. Like me, today, I rather die watching Weezer than Coldplay! :lol:

    In Vino Veritas? Not a way to live either.

    How is Celia?


    Live the Life. (What it is meant to be, to you, today.)

    Oy vey!

    (and Robin Williams survived a heart attack - thank fucking god)

    More I think about it, how I die will be part of my life. I've got no choice in the matter, for the most part.

    Is that more important than how I lived, or who I was while I lived? How I treated others, and myself?

    A bus wouldn't be the worst thing.

    (like a band-aid! Just rip it off!)

    exactly and hopefully you wouldn't see it coming.. just step off the kerb and BAM! like that scene in final destination. I could go for that myself.

    i don't think that "they died doing what they loved" is any consolation at all.

    fact is they died, no matter what they were doing, that fact does not change.

    that is like when my friend died from cancer in 2002. everyone said "at least she is not suffering anymore." that might be true, but it does not make me feel any better that she died. ya know?

    I think its said in order to make sense of a loved ones dying. its like when a friend kills themselves.. we want to know why.. or we think we want to hoping itll make sense to us but it makes no difference.. the friend is still dead. death seems to be a taboo in our society and it think if our discussions were more open to it then we probably wouldn't give voice to such platitudes. afterall none of us escapes death.

    STEVE IRWIN died.

    A stingray barb got him in the perfect spot of the heart. He died within seconds. I've read many autobios, and bios.

    He did this "camera shoot", for his daughter, BINDI. The stingray kills him, and he dies.

    I have always blamed Philippe-Pierre Coustea, he invited Steve...., Steve thought it would be a great thing, to help, Philippe and his own daughter Bindi.... It was not. :cry:

    Nothing is to be blamed. It was a time and place, and events happened.

    I still don't like Philippe. I need time? :?


    Maybe, I need to see a documentary of Phil swimming through a few feet of Box JellyFISH.... :lol::lol:
