this may come off as a particularly morbid post, but for me its more reality checking sort of thing, so forgive me if you dont like the premise.

so ive been thinking a lot about death. i think death, although often scratched on the surface, is never something people delv deep into. someone i knew just died recently at a ridiculously young age. i went to the funeral today which, in my opinion, was designed really well. there must have been close to a thousand people there -- which i thought to be quite hopeful and endearing. but i guess the things that i thought about were aptypical of my previous death thoughts and conversations. how would i like my funeral to be? how would i like to be put to rest? what is the connotation behind certain 'funeral practices' and how do they apply to myself.

i havent been to many funerals in my life, which i suppose is a good thing. but sadly enough, death is something that really wakes people up to the finality of life. i dont think people really consider how and what they would like to made of them after theyve died. some people donate organs. other prefer cremation. some want large open funerals and other want small intimate family gatherings. some people have to have their 'last hoorah' based on their monetary resources or the way they die without a choice at all in the matter.

so i guess what im trying to say with all this porrly executed banter, is that ive been thinking of how i would design my funeral (or not design as possibly is the case). you only get one chance to get your last words/ideas/feelings in before all thats left are intangibles and photographs. like i said before, this isnt meant to be depressing, more of a look into yourself and what things are truly important to you. how would plan your last party ever?
