I'm pretty proud of myself of the commitment that I've made to try and write in this Got-dang blog as often as I can. At the beginning of the year, I thought "Hey, I'd like to write a blog entry for every day this year and see how it goes." Well, I've missed a few days, and some days I just add in a funny quip or so. However, I've gotten a lot further than I thought I would, so kudos to me.
Most of the time when I write a longer blog like this, I get a great idea of an entry while in the shower. Something will come to my mind and I'll think, "Yeah, I can write about that." I don't know why some of these topics hit me during my shower, but that's where I do some of my best thinking. I understand thatone might find it a bit awkward, but when you are 26 and still living at home with your two parents who are retirees, you quickly find that you have very little private time.
Today has not been one of those days. I'm not really sure what to write about, but I am still clinging on to my blogging commitment, so I'm just gonna go for it. My apologies if this entry isn't of the highest quality.
I have a friend that is getting married. While hanging out the other night, she couldn't resist telling me of some of her elaborate wedding plans, as girls often will to any who will listen. She was telling all of her planned wedding songs and reception dining options. Her specific colors and dresses that she preferred. She was very excited. So was I.
Women dream of their wedding day from the time they are little girls. I'm sure that it's fun for them, however I'm not a woman. Obviously.
I don't have any wedding plans. I'm not sure if I'll ever get married, so I'm not going to spend time planning a day that is not certain to arrive. However, I do have funeral plans, of which I am very excited about. A little morbid, I know, but if I have to die then I would like to have a say over how people (or funeral goers) shall remember me. Without further ado....
Funeral Songs: (in order, please)
"Adrift" by Jack Johnson
"Oh, Danny Boy" as sung by The Muppets (it's on youtube, look it up)
"Because He Lives" my favorite hymn
"Ground Control to Major Tom" by David Bowie
"The Road" by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis
That's it. I don't presume to think this will actually happen and I don't really care since I'd be dead anyway. But, if by some chance someone sees this and passes it on to those who are in charge, you would have my eternal thanks. Everything else can go on as they want.
"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the same song still in them"
