Death! No grampa thats just Maggie...

I've been thinking about death recently. Not in a "Oh no, death!" kind of way, just thinking about it. As in, death is this thing that none of us will ever escape. But hopefully by the time it comes for you, you will say "I've had a good run

Recently, in my Ethics class, we had an unscheduled visit from a student that was also a reserve in the Marines. He came in just to say hi to the professor but stayed as the professor asked him some questions.
The Marine, a 21 year old college student, told us how the natives in Iraq were thankful for the over throw of Saddam. He told us that the people would wave to them, shake their hands, and even give them gifts. He spent a year and a half in the Iraq, had is birthday there, Christmas, and he lost friends there. This shook him up a lot but he said that what he had lost was worth what he helped give to the people of Iraq.
We have to remember that it is the guerrillas our troops are fighting not the Iraqi people.
This is not my opinion, this is fact. With things i don't know very much about, like what is going on in Iraq, i try to keep MY opinions neutral.

But in the case on death, Vlad you have a great mind man. GENIUS!!!

I'm afraid I've been a bit obsessed with the subject of death recently. I'm very much scared to my wits end about it. I am dreadfully afraid of death. I've hallucinated about it. I've dreamed about it. I've dreamt many times about the end of the world, and each time I feel a sense of such intense fear. I've always been deathly afraid (pardon the pun) that there's just nothing, that any thought that I have or will have, any hope, any dream, will just stop when I die. That there's nothing. The chemicals that make my brain work don't exist anymore. The functions that make up my body and my mind don't exist anymore. I will be no more. The world will go on, but for me there will be nothing. I'm scared out of my mind, while it lasts. I love life so much, I don't want to leave it. I love my friends. I love my girlfriend. I love everything that moves and breathes. I have so much love left to give, but to die, ruins, remenants, the past, it's all been done before and will be done again. The fear and the loathing, like the

Being overwhelmed by superior numbers while valiantly defending innocent campers and canoeists from the trout? Yeah baby!

Its not for me to fathom what death is like, i bet it doesnt hurt at all. i bet death is like one of those old televisions, you know the kind with knobs? Well when ever you would turn the tv off it would pause for a second as if not wanting to allow the circuit of electricity to break. But to no avail there is the usual bright flash that is followed by the dull submission of the light as it slowly goes black, moving torward the center of the screen untill there is only a single speck of light in the center of a black box. I bet Death sounds like that too. You hear the click of the tv turning off followed by natural hum of the tv moving closer to silent. but the last thing you hear is the static leaving the surface of the glass. That shivering release of static is what i think death will sound like. Or at least i hope.
