Waking to Funerals
I suspect that everyone out there wonders in some way about the way Mr. Garibay would like to be buried when the chance arrives. I find the whole concept behind funerals to be rather paradoxical considering that the people present should be presenting the good times had with the deceased but instead dwell upon the fact that they are dead. All I see at a funeral is baggy eyes, deprived of sleep and happiness as they struggle with the loss of a good friend or family member. I suppose funerals do exist to permeate the notion that the significant other is, by all means, dead and won't be coming back but I would be a little upset (not sure how I would pull that off as a corpse) if anyone sheds any tears other than ones of joy at my funeral.
With the wake of my great aunt who I did not know at all, I began to consider my own not because I'm particularly morbid or anything, but because your birth and death will be most important events in any human being's life. These two instances will have the largest impact on the ones you love more than any particular politician or boss because the issues of the heart always have more of an immediate impact and depending on the person could wash away in seconds, but more often than not last for at least a few days. Other grievances? We could probably forget about them for a period of time after a bit of fun at Chuck E Cheeses. A dead friend? Not as easily.
I figure I could have plenty of food around and spirits to get people going, perhaps a band to play...or how about a DJ to get people into a lighter mood? Shit, treat this thing like a wedding. More importantly, if I'm murdered and they find out who killed me I want my body cremated, the ashes mixed with exlax and a bit of Hemlock. At this point the mixture should be poured into the most disgusting drink ever: Red Bull. Feed it to the mastermind of the act but don't let on that not only is he drinking hemlock, but also the very person he slew!
How twisted is that.
But seriously, it has style and a bit of irony...I like that.
Remember: mega party music and a lan party at my funeral. Be there or be lame.
We should think about what we got right now
cause the good things are made up of time
smile to your problems, leave the past behind
live for today.

Does that mean you want to be murdered when you're ready to go? just so you can have us do that for you? lol
But its true, but i guess some people have the wake/funeral, but then they have a party afterwords. I know it was my Great Grandmother's funeral had a party afterwords. Course it might have been because she was Irish, who knows. But anyways I agree that people shouldnt mourn forever unless i guess if you die in some horrible way and early or something. But still, everyone dies, and if you cry your arse out after everyone did you would be as dry as sand because you lost all of your bodily fluids.
I was never one for wakes/funerals when I was little, and actually now that i think on it i havent really had to go to that many, i would guess that its a good thing.
I dont really like the idea of me sitting cold as a iceberg in a coffin while people look at my body. Im thinkin cremation is in order
