He's all 'if I die, I die; and if I dont, I don't.

Good for him,
He's 55, I'm not far off and can relate to the sentiment.

Who else is at ease with the inevitable?

Apologies for the downer vibe.
Three pints and the onset of winter can do that to a man.
 
Crossed that bridge a while back when I embraced Taoism. There's no way of knowing what if anything happens after death, so there's no reason to think of it as being negative or positive. Death is a part of life, teh end.
 
And if a double-decker bus


Crashes into us


To die by your side


Is such a heavenly way to die


And if a ten-ton truck


Kills the both of us


To die by your side


Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine
 
I wonder if Morrissey looks down on his cancer for eating him. Meat is murder, no?
 
The Smiths ÔÇô I Know It's Over





"I Know It's Over" as written by and Steven Patrick/marr Morrissey....








Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head


And as I climb into an empty bed


Oh well. Enough said.


I know it's over - still I cling


I don't know where else I can go


Oh...





Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head


See, the sea wants to take me


The knife wants to slit me


Do you think you can help me?

I hear that. Every fall, like clockwork, I get all nostalgic about the days when shit wasn't so real...





It's not MY death that scares me. Perhaps, it scares me a little but it ultimately pales in comparison to the fear I get when I think about my family getting older...also being married with no intention to have children is something that makes me worry for my wife in the event of my demise...





I watched my Mom and Aunt take care of my grandfather while alzheimer's totally erased him and that was some heavy heavy shit. I don't know how I'm going to cope with that; if needed.





My father is a disabled vet (legs blown off in 'nam) and he lives alone. I see him as much as I can but not enough. Alzheimer's and cancer run deep on his side of the family. I'm also fairly certain he's being cat fished by someone but thats a whole different bag of shit.





Oddly enough, I can feel better when I just tell myself "literally everyone in the history of forever has had to deal with this so stop thinking your situation is special and just be ready for life when it kicks you in the dick".





EDIT: Also living in the present helps big time. If you spend time worrying about inevitable stuff on the horizon you neglect to notice things aren't half bad in the here and now.
 
Well, it suddenly struck me


I just might die with a smile on my face after all
 
I'm not ready for death.





I have a 2 year old daughter that I love and would like to see grow up, move out, and live her life.





Sometime after that, death wouldn't bum me out much.

Morrisey in a coma? I know, I know... it's serious.





Can we turn this in a Smith's appreciation thread?
