Death & You: The best-case scenario

**Frownland** · 04-22-2014, 04:33 PM

I like the idea of an elaborate framing with my death. Shoot myself in the head but bash myself with a bat a few times first and write on my leg "so-and-so is trying to kill me" in sharpie.

"I'd like to die like my father died... My father died ****ing. My father was 57 when he died. The woman was 18. My father came and went at the same time."
- Richard Pryor

I like the idea of it ending that way. It seems like the perfect way to complete the circle of life.

Meh, I don't like the OP. I have always felt like I would die in some kind of tragic way in an accident of some sort.

I would kind of upset if I ended up dying in such a peaceful way like you described in the OP.

I don't mind painful deaths or drowning but the only one that I would definitely hate the most would probably be burning alive.

This is what I would say too for whatever reason. Ive had thoughts of me being on a plane and knowing its going to crash into the ocean. And while everyone on board is freaking out I just put my headphones on, close my eyes, and listen to either Oceanic by Isis or Horse Stories by Dirty Three as the plane goes down..

As long as it comes after a long life, is as pain-free as possible, and is as non-traumatic as possible for my loved ones, I'm ok with whatever.

Naked bloody and screaming, I hear if you live your life just right you can leave the same way.

I think dying peacefully sounds brilliant. I want to die in my sleep. People will cringe at this but I want With Or Without You by U2 played at my funeral.

-Quick and as painless as possible. In my sleep perhaps?

-Soo many songs I love, definitely something with the tone of Dust in the Wind (rational non-religious approach to death). No funerals, it is for my ears only.

-Nothing. My existence doesn't matter.

-No, I am not that self-important.

-Not sure if I would rather be alone or with the people I love, and I don't want or plan on having kids so this one is tricky.

-Last Will: Throw me naked in the woods to rot away into nature. We are not above the system.

I don't care how I die, I just want it to happen already. I was really counting on having cancer by now but it would appear I have to make something of my life after all.

Woe is me... what a lame thing mortality is. At least we have music to pretend its any sort of relevant for a short while.

If you were able to choose a manner of death, which would you prefer?

In a natural mental state. I don't wanna be drugged or asleep. I want to experience the moment I slip away.

Are there any albums/songs you wish to hear on your deathbed, or you'd prefer to be played at your funeral in your honor?

No. I'll be dead. They can play what they want.

If you had a notebook at your side on your deathbed, what would you write in it?

Nothing.

Would you consider a pre or post-mortem photograph an appropriate move for the documentation of your life and death? (21st century people seem to be a little squeamish about this sort of thing.)

No.

If you had the chance to verbally communicate some final words with certain people in your life, who would they be? What would you tell them?

Life's been good.

If you had the opportunity to craft a Last Will and Testament type of document, what would the most important aspect be?

I'd request everything I own and any money I have be donated to charities. Maybe donate my corpse to science too.
