this is almost an improv theory. Break the routine.
as far as death goes, I want it to be more accepted as a part of life, rather than the ending of it. Society seems to cast death away into negative zone of emotions, and it should be. which is why wakes are so fun. as my mom says "I don't care what you do when I die. put my body in a bag, and throw me in the river!" I won't need my body, I'll be dead!
Do you have a story, Jared? something that you could write a book about? I used to have one, I lost it one day, it hasn't come back.
I remember careening around a corner in my car and having this life-changing revelation that nothing was stopping me from driving my car into a pole if I wanted to, nothing at all. I could just do it. I mean, it's me that stops me really, isn't it. And my body kicks in with its natural self-defence mechanisms when it counts too.
I like what meanderingmoxie says and agree - death shouldn't be so hush hush and not talked about, but rather, accepted as a part of life. I think as people get older they get more comfortable with the idea but it's always a massive tragedy when someone dies of something other than natural causes, especially if they are young. In gypsy cultures grieving is a part of life, and it's the ability to feel both happiness and grief that defines you as a person - the intensity of the emotions that is life, not just happiness
