  John Doe

  The day I die, the sun will rise. It will be cloudy, or it will be rainy, or it will be snowing. Somewhere, a baby will be born. Somewhere, a couple will begin a life together. Somewhere, a solider will die in his duties. A bird will sing, and a thunderstorm will flourish. Somewhere the grass will be vibrantly green and lush, and somewhere the sod will be barren and dry. Somewhere planets and galaxies away, a young boy will ask if his world is alone in the universe.

  And as I draw my last breath, and catch my last view into the starlit night, I'll look with questioning eyes towards the wet moon, and the moon will shine back in all it's dull splendor.

  Me too John Doe. The same thing is going to happen on the day of my death.

  Unless I'm decapitated in a car crash or something. One never knows.

  LOL at BTL!

  I hope at my funeral, everyone gets drunk, and laughs their asses off remembering all the funny, stupid stuff I did in my life. I think the Irish have the right idea about funerals.

  Got to go get started now on doing funny and stupid stuff. I've been way too serious most of my life and I'm really behind!

  It's funny.... during the series "Six Feet Under," every episode started with a death. That always made me think about when/how I would die. I just hope my death isn't long and drawn out.... and is very far in the future.

  By the way, the series ended with the death scenes of each of the main charaters. It was one of the best pieces of art ever aired on American television. That's right, I said art. You can view it on YouTube by searching "Six Feet Under Finale."

  The Sopranos started and ended every show with a death too. Their ending was just a blank screen though. Was six feet under as good as that?

  Yeah, I remember that ending, too. I was holding the remote and all of my friends looked at me like I did something. I thought that day might be the day of my death!!! LOL!

  The Who used to sing "I hope I die before I get old"

  I would agree with that . In fact I would try to make sure that I am gone before the faculties fail. I have known old people kept going in nursing homes, sedated and propped a chair to sleep all day - dribbling in their food and incontinent ...No Way !

  I have no kids, in fact no one will care . I think this way. We have no say in when we are born, but as adults we should be allowed to chose when to die..Anybody remember the old Sci fi film "Soylent Green" they had a good idea.

  Tired of the Hypocrisy

  When I die I hope I die well. So I envison my death to be one of worth and courage.

  I dislike the idea I will be in any way remembered with regret for my being gone - a natural human emotion for some who have been close to us. Mourning has dominated a large part of my existence and I do not wish its attachment to me when I'm gone in making anyone suffer.

  For this reason I would be happy to be utterly forgotten.

  My death is irrelevant. It cannot be undignified for my body is only a shell of passage - another irrelevance after deaths passing - preferably one others have no need of dealing or troubled by. Burning on a boat or rotting in deserted woodland seem idyllic. But some other way is more likely. I would suggest the most cost effective for the sake of brevity and minimal onus on those around at the time. To me it is a complete misnoma.

  Those I have stood with me have all memory of me that is representative of my life. That is where any meaning was forged.

  It is what it is and it is enough.

  We each are what reality places before and behind us. We each are to each other what we have offered of ourselves whether it be taken or rejected. It is all a person can give.

  It doesn't matter anyway - millions now living will never die!
