this may sound a bit morbid, but I attempt to plan my death all the time. not as in how I am gonna die, but the after arrangements. like who would show up, what music would be played at the a memorial, etc. etc. for a long time I was thinking to have everyone karaoke all of my favorite songs. almost like a party atmosphere, but being the avid music fan, I couldn't decide what songs for those left behind to sing.

possible song choices:
"almost blue" by elvis costello
"in my life" by the beatles
"rhinestone cowboy" by glen campbell
"heroes" by david bowie

only problem with this, who'd sing what? I think I should assign people certain song duties. hahaha, I'm dead and yet still controlling the music. I am a true music nazi. I need to break that habit before I die. maybe it would be better if I just have a band play, but what band could represent me? maybe I could get, "weird al" to sing and play accordion. just a little, intimate setlist. hell, maybe i should shoot for the stars? maybe I could get poison to play! and they could shoot my ashes out of a confetti gun all over the crowd! imagine a bunch of glitter and my gray ashes mixed in the air! or maybe i could get kool keith to rap, and he could poor out a fuzzy navel wine cooler on the stage and say something like, "this is for my fallen homie." it would be great publicity for him!

although the music is a tough decision, the question I dwell on is... cremation or burial? both sound unpleasant. let's compare the two, shall we?
