Funeral in a few hours, i still dont know exactly what im going to say. I have an idea. Normally when it comes to speaking or quoting or writing, i have it all in my head and it flows onto the paper. Ive written about taunting death, flirting with it, even dancing with death,,, but never about someone dying. New topic for me, not one id like to cozy up too either.
I was going to bring a radio as a backup, and if i ran out of words and no one else could speak, i was just going to play "Do You Realize" by the Flaming Lips, but i remembered they did that in a Mandy Moore movie called "just deal" and so i thought i would play "Let it Be" by John Lennon, and then realized this shit makes me fucking cry, i shouldnt subject everyone to that.
I dont think im going to stick around for the lunch afterwards, just the idea of death and food make me queasy. Im probably going to slip off without anyone noticing and re-appear 40 miles away in the OC. I've dealt with this better than anyone expected, a dissapearing act would be overlooked i think.

when speaking at a funeral it's best to talk about life, not death.
