Questions and Death and I'm Not Funny [Written 5/17]
Ugh, I'm always so busy delving into and developing thoughts on existential ideas that all I end up with is more questions. No wonder those dudes in kung-fu movies only ever answer each other's questions with more questions.
Does anybody out there have the answer? Or are we all really just the products of circumstance and chemicals? And if we are, how can I break beyond that and get a glimpse of the true "big picture"? Is it even possible? Is that what death is for?
I was thinking about death--as I often do, but not in a suicidal way, just a curious way--on the way home from the doctor's office today, and I started wondering what the last thing I'll say before I die is. I came up with a "Top 10" list, and then I came up with humorous situations that my last line could be said in.
Top 10 List of Things I'll Probably Say Before I Die
10) Who are you and why are you wearing that?
9) This is gonna be awesome!
8) Watch this!
7) No! I get another turn!
6) Huh? This isn't mine....
5) I knew it!
4) Wait, that's not right....
3) Oh, yeah? I'd like to see you try.
2) It wasn't supposed to happen this way!
1) Oh, fuck--
Humorous Locations To Say The Above In:
...
Okay, I admit it: the only humorous place I could think of was an S&M club, but that's pretty funny for quite a few of them, right? I'm just not in "humor mode" today. I thought of #10 because I wondered what I'd say if a ninja assassin jumped out in front of me, but although the other ones are still somewhat situation-based, they're pretty generic. And the order is somewhat arbitrary 'cept for #10 and #1 because I doubt a ninja assassin is going to bother me and there's a 93% chance I'll be saying #1 when I die. Lord knows I say it enough as it is.
