would you go?
last night a re-occurring thought came to me.though a little bit morbid and depressing, i really like toying with the idea. well it's about my death and my funeral. i've always pictured myself dying from a vehicular accident at an early age. and there was a time when i wanted my lifeless carcass to be cremated, for reasons of practicality, but i've retracted from that notion. now i just want my interment ceremonies to be customary. i wouldn't delve so much in the specific details of my funeral because i have yet to put the fine points of my obsequies on paper. actually i'm not that crazy over the dying part. who would be? what i'm fond of is the memorial service. particularly, who would go? i've spent hours on end figuring out who would come. and after much consternation and reflection, i always come to the resolution that i am much loved.

Oh yes I actually do this too. I just somethimes take it a step further....I cry... Pathetic! Hehe. I also toy around with the idea of people I love dying... I dont know why I do this. Maybe we should see a shrink.
ReplyDeleteHey glad my blog "inspired" you to start your own.. : )
man... i do this all the time too. i even think about which picture they'd use on my funeral, which person my mom would contact to tell the rest of my friends, how they'd know (my guess is the friendster bulletin boards and the mailing lists).
ReplyDeleteglad to know i'm not the only one... :j
ReplyDeleteWow. No more blahblahblehblehblogging?? ;D
ReplyDeleteI've written it on paper a lot of times already, and, I guess, it won't hurt to divulge it here: I am against having a wake and a funeral. But someone should definitely "speak" for me.
How about people whose only contact with you has been through the nets?
ReplyDeleteBut really, I'd rather have my body used for some experimental/educational purpose (with compensation, of course, to repay for all the trouble I'd have caused while dying ;)
I used to want to be cremated too, until I learned that it is b-a-d to the environment. By the time i die i would have contributed my own share of pollution to this world, I wouldn't want to add more.
ReplyDeleteCel, the might Instant Messenger would always solve all your online presence issues. A funeral blog perhaps? (vomit vomit)
I dont want to be buried. Its gross to think that worms will be eating me. Munch munch.. Cremation = pollution. Cel is right, donating my body is the way to go. At least people will think of me as "giving and compassionate". Haha! Umm... maybe my family can keep my hair and toenails to remember me by?
