I’ve been to 10 funerals.
I figured that out last week, as I went to King’s dad’s wake.
10. Three grandparents, three pseudo grandparents, a friend’s mom when we were in high school, someone who eventually would’ve been family… old age, heart attack, cancer, suicide. Myriad reasons that all lead to one conclusion.
10 seems like an awful lot to me, especially considering I’m not even out of my early twenties.
I don’t like funerals very much. I think perhaps I’ll not have one. I’d like to be cremated, so whoever’s in charge of mine, just cremate me and scatter me in the ocean. Then use the funeral money to take a vacation. Tahiti or someplace. 😀
Also, the Porkchop ditched me to go work in NYC for the day and Reggie and I are really bored. 🙁
this is what English and i decided on…

not necessarily in that place, but the basic idea.

I wrote my first Will on Monday. Im 23, and I had to write my first will.
Very daunting.

Wen.. hehe. You’re just mostly stoned, and showering once a week doesn’t count! :p
CJ.. oof. That’s rough. I wrote one when I was 19 ’cause I was going on a trip and I thought I was going to die, but somehow I doubt a will written on the back page of one of my notebooks full of lyrics (short-lived dream) would hold up. I should probably get a real one, but ugh.
