it's something i've been thinking about lately. this just came up for me again in the cake thread. who else thinks about their own death from time to time? it will be an interesting thing to go through, and it is going to be something that we are all going to have to do. do you think your life is going to go on for a long time, or do you think you are going to die relatively young? i think, and this is just my thoughts, no all powerful voice told me it, but i think i am going to live to be fairly old (at least 50)... what about you guys?

The 'Cake or death?' thread I made was just a joke. It's part of Eddie Izzard's "Dressed To Kill" routine.
About death. I'd like to die by my own hands. I imagine i'll reach a point in my life when going through the day to day bullshit of living will be more trouble than it's worth.

i don't know how i'm going to die...probably in an accident to tell the truth, but my ex-girlfriend and i would play with questions like these all the time, and here's how i'd LIKE to die:
become a well reconized electro musician, and become gobbled up my the media and made to conform. being swept up by the money and fame i do. During a voilent stage theatric preformance, i devise a fantasy on-stage death where i blow my fake brains out into the crowd to a bad ass tune about death. after seeing what i've become i pull a kurt cobain and kill myself, excpet when the gun/brains are suposed to be fake, it's real...and the crowd eats it up, and can't get enough....

someone told me i'd live till i was atleast 60 (but i can't remember who).
but a lot of the time i think i'm just asking to get my punk ass shit kicked or run down.
i'll prolly die from some stupid mistake like not looking before i cross the street. or falling down like a million concrete stairs.
or somehting dumb like that. it'll prolly be own stupid fault.
ehehe

I'd like to die after a final meal, a lengthy bit of reminiscing, and making final arrangements. I'd like to do it in my room, in the dark except for a few small candles, and some slow piano going on in the background, maybe something by Erik Satie.
What's good about doing yourself in is when you have the date set. You can live out the last week prior to it as crazy as you want, because you know you aren't going to hang around to suffer any consequences.

i've actually spent a bit of time considering my own death. i suppose i'll live to be relatively old, but who knows. the future is crazy and lately i've been focusing on the here now business of living in the moment. and you aren't necessarily going to die anyway. i mean, chances are, you will die, but just because things are the way they are doesn't mean that they will always be as they are. i'm not saying i think i won't die, just that i don't rule out any possibilities.

have you read steppenwolf steve? it was a little dark for me, but it really is great and your words just reminded me if it and you might like it. little slow at first, but this is completely necessary to set the tone and get into the character.

i've wrote a whole cd on this fantasy...it was called "amorphous suicide fantasies," and each track was a diffrent ailment leading to the last few where the char, finally died.
(this cd got lost in my move, and thus i've never been able to publish it, i have spoken about it in a long time....:*(

yeah, i spent a lot of time on it...and it was sooooo creative...but part of the beauty is that only a few ppl heard the tracks (which makes it extreamly rare), and they told me that they were awsome, which jazzes me up. i also think that it's kinda ironic that a cd that showcased death so much, is now dead to the world.

hee hee... i have two birth certificates because i lost my first one, so i got a replacement, then i found my old one. does this mean i am living a double life? do i have multiple personalities? am i going to be re-incarnated? probably not, i just have two pieces of official paper rather than one.

I don't how I'm going to die... but I always have death filled dreams, where I die or am ABOUT to die, then I wake up... I've died in a million different ways so far. :-)
I hope I don't die in a car accident. Oh, what a way to go... then again, I don't want to live too long... old people, I mean REALLY old people, their lives seem pathetic. I don't want to be too old to be useful... then again, maybe I won't want to die when I DO get old. I dunno. I'm confused. This topics makes you consider all these things...

"The cost of cryonic suspension at Alcor ranges from $50,000 (neurosuspension, with approximately $17,000 going into the Patient Care Fund) to $120,000 (whole body suspension, with approximately $80,000 going into the Patient Care Fund). The good news is that this can be paid by taking out a life insurance policy that names Alcor as the beneficiary, so that when a patient is pronounced legally dead, Alcor receives the insurance money."
....creepy stuff!

Steve: Eddie Izzard is fucking hilarious! I also saw that "Dressed to Kill" on HBO a couple times and remember that cake or death skit among others. He has to be one of the funniest, weirdest, underrated and most intelligent comedian out there that I know of.
bah on this thread.
