Perfect Vision of Death? (rock, member, track, quote, memory)

*ahem* if i might defend myself, you misunderstood what "focus on the family" meant. there would be no families theres, focus on the family is only middle aged religious hacks on a mission to destroy what fun we might have, because we're living in sin and need to smarten up. itd be a gas for me to take a few of em out in my final hour.

I'm actually going to write a will stating that my funeral must take place on the top of a mountain. Snow will be packed to form a track leading up to the edge of a very very high cliff. The urn holding my ashes will be bolted to my skis, and I will be launched off the cliff by way of small rocket boosters attached to my skis. The sendoff will be accompanied by Styx - Renegade. Then a video screen would be erected, and a compilation of pictures would play as a slideshow of me and my friends and family doing crazy stuff. This would be accompanied by Pixies - where is my mind. Then the beer would be cracked open, and everyone would have a good time and go skiing. Oh, and "heaven is a halfpipe" would be performed by my best friend's band, only he would have to alter the lyrics to apply to skiing and not skating.

I realize that wasn't the answer to the question, but hey, it's cool. As for what happens when we die, my beliefs run more along the lines of reincarnation. Not coming back as another person or animal or something like that, but that our energy is redistributed back into the universe.

Thats a fairly interesting concept since energy is never created nor destroyed, it merely changes forms. But unless your meaning kind of like spiritual energy, you know stuff like your soul, you won't have any energy left to give back to the universe. Because all the energy you have stored up in your body is exhausted when you're cremated and the only energy your ashes will have left is potential energy.

If this is nowhere near what your talking about then don't mind me haha.
Good to see your going out in style by the way

I wouldn't do that anyway, haven't you seen the cartoons? He's run out. Cheap bastard.

I don't know how I want to go out. I definitely don't want a bloody depressing funeral. I want it to be celebratory in some way.

I haven't worked out how I want to go yet, but I'm not going alone.

Plus everybody here can probably guess the next bit...........

I want to be buried in my car

The perfect vision of death? My opinion - as simple and painless as possible. I want to go 'out like a light'. I don't want to burn, drown, be suffocated or strangled. I want to either be hit by a huge moving object and be killed instantly or have a quick heart attack, etc...

maybe shot in the face, really violent. like with a shotgun.

I believe in soul music, the souls of my shoes (except the brown ones which are falling off) and that sole is one of the lamer excuses for edible fish. As far as the other type of soul goes, I don't think it exists. When we die, we die. Some people find this idea uncomfortable and go with some other story to convince themselves that they're never really going to die, not properly because they'll continue somewhere else.

I'd prefer to actually go with what is true rather than feed myself a lie. So I accept that one day I'm going to die and will experience nothing from then on. Accepting reality and then dealing with it? I think this helps you to get everything else in life into proportion.

Then again, I'd probably be described as a devout atheist.

Perfect vision of death? I'd go for swift skydiving accident at the age of 85. The method is quick and fun, the age is old enough to have pissed off your grandchildren plenty and young enough to have avoided a lot of loss of bodily functions.

I don't have one.
Not something I want to think about.
But i don't think there is a god.
So i'm not sure anything happens when you die.
so when you die. You're dead.
It's over.

oh & I don't want to drown :]
