We're all going to die eventually!

[Cathedral]

Hey, i want to thank all of you for your words of condolence. I initially ignored them, i don't know why but i just couldn't reply to those responses until now.
I just woke up from 12 hours of slumber, can't tell you the last time i had more than 4 hours sleep in one night, it was invigorating.

Now that the uncomfortable task of being around people you only see at weddings and funerals is over, its time to relax and have a few drinks...ease back into the mood of the living.

But a note on suicide... 'years ago a good friend's older brother took an entire prescription of 36 Precodan's, along with 8 of 12 Budweisers over a period of two hours while watching a movie with his mom.
He ate the pills like they were M&M's...by the way, the guy was a HUGE Classic Van Halen fan and died a loyal DLR fan!)
When the movie was over his mom thought he had been sleeping the last half hour but he had actually been dead for that long.
He slipped into a coma, and the heart just stopped beating, no massive attack, it just slowed down and stopped like a duracell battery.

That's pretty painless, but self induced and against the rules...

Oh well, time to get on gettin' on............

Later!

Sorry about the losses brother...I've been there myself. Lost my mom to cancer back in 98'...buried her Christmas day. Life can be cruel. From watching my mother suffer and then having her die in my arms I learned a valuble lesson: Live every day as though It was your last. My mother was a great woman and a good friend. I always felt i was gonna die young..but I'm 30 now so who knows. R .I. P. to those you lost and I hope I go peacefully with classic VH at my funeral. Love ya mom!

But if I was to kill myself, I probably would wash some Phenol Barbitol down with some vodka. That's what those crazy Hail Boppers did. Supposedly painless and quick. I would also rig up a loud alarm so people would find my body before it degenerated into a rotten mess. I used to work at a funeral home and believe me, you want people to find your body quick. It does everyone a favor, especially the poor people who have to embalm your ass.

Hey, Nitro

Serious question

You know how they say that your bowels discharge after death?

Who cleans up all the poo?

My dad died of a massive heart attack about 27 hours ago...

I was holding his hand and watched his lips slowly turn blue....

Took his last breath and..poof..

I haven't cried yet. I don't feel much of anything yet. It worries me. I'm waiting on the breakdown, don't want it to happen in the car or while picking my kid up from kindergarten...

Back on topic, I wouldn't mind taking a stray bullet through my living room window into my brain....maybe watchin Road Rules or something...swallowing the last sip of a cocktail.

I'm reminded of a gag band name I heard one time - "Death By Blowjob." Sounds like a good enough way to go for me.

[Nitro Express]

The poo, piss, blood, and other nasties are either cleaned up by the hospital, morg, or funeral home. It all depends on where you die. Believe me, niether the morg or the funeral home likes to put corpses covered in shit in the freezer.

It all makes me happy as hell that I was just an usher and herse driver.

I guess I'd have to pick how my grandfather died...an aneurysm. Runs in my family. He was in his mid 80s, feeling great, had a nice morning with the wife, started feeling cold in his feet and went upstairs and fell asleep. In other words, he probably never saw it coming, it happened quickly (aneurysm burst) and he didn't dwindle in the time before it. Really the best way one could hope for.

That is how I would choose it. But since cancer is so rampant in my family, I always expect that that's how I'll buy it. Or a car accident...been having a recurring dream forever that I would die in a car.

Or this....

[fryingdutchman]

Just kidding, Rikk.

Seriously though....sorry to hear about your loss(es) Cathedral.

I'm a "peacefully in my sleep" kind of guy myself.

I'd rather not see it coming... blam and be gone.
