DEATH: ONE OF THOSE THINGS


This is a particularly dark entry that really allows a glimpse into my thought process. Yes I am fascinated by death but more by how we have come to visualize it. Death to us wears this black hood, it has no emotions and it claims us to keep up with some sort of numbers quota. I still wonder about death every so often. How did it get this personality? The truth of the matter is that death is one of those events, really it's the final event in our life.

Did someone claiming they came back from death just randomly come up with skull dude? I think about this at times because given the way of the world today I question my less than Wolverine like mortality. I think that when you fear death because time passes so quickly you tend to think about it more. Imagine if death came in the form of some sort of wormy accountant telling you the extension is up, that would be something else.

I don't think about death every single day but those days that I do I tend to wonder about the personification of it. I guess I watched that film The Seventh Seal way too much. I always wondered about a chess game with death.


The fact is that none of us will know until we get there and when we find out we won't really be able to share the thing unless we are well tuned to the trusty OUIJA board.

DEATH, MY OLD FRIEND, HOW ARE YOU?


Death is the event we are born for in this life. There is no way to tell when or how it's coming we just know that it is. To many death is a form with a scythe and little in the way of friendly conversation. Ultimately death has a job but do you ever wonder what it would say to you or you would say to it ? I think I have my Antonius Block conversation all figured out.

DEATH: I have come to claim your soul

ME: Want to play Dominoes?

DEATH: No time.

ME: Eternity is a long time don't you think?

DEATH: What do you want to talk about?

ME: How do you chose people's time?

DEATH: It's a lot like the subway, every train has a turn.

ME: If I win a Domino game can I live longer?

DEATH: No.

ME: Was I a bad person?

DEATH: Not my call.

ME: Was I a good person?

DEATH: I don't know, were you?

ME: Good answer.

DEATH: I don't have a conscious nature.

ME: Want a tea?

DEATH: Goes through me quick.

ME: Shall we?

DEATH: Please I am pressed for eternity.

I know this is all freaky but in truth it's life or as some may refer to it the hamster wheel full of shit that we must all run inside of for a set period of time.
