It's important to know the song you want to play at your funeral. I have been convinced for a long time that I want "theme from retro" by blur to play at mine. when i decided this, i was sitting in my room at my mom's house. it was summer, the shades were down, and i was constructing a small building out of used batteries and elmer's glue. i wished that night would fall and that i could make drugs appear out of thin air.
when i had my hair cut off, and dyed purple, i spent my days painting the inside of my mom's house. i was on a ladder one day, scraping the inside of the windowsills of the large windows looking out to the backyard. i was in a large man's workshirt, which had been my brother's painting shirt when he was a child, and then mine. underneath i wore some flannel boxers which were mostly hidden. nothing else. i felt extremely worthy of having my picture taken. there were definitely not enough pictures taken of my hair then. it was fucking glorious. i wish to this day, that someone had been around to take my picture.
