Your Death

How often do you think about your death? I don't think about the details of my demise much, but I've decided on one thing. I want Adagio for Strings by Barber to be played at my funeral.

I had the privilege of performing this piece when I was a member of a youth symphony. It was extremely powerful, almost bordering on a spiritual experience.

You may recognize it from the ending scenes of Platoon where a wounded Charlie Sheen is surveying the scarred battlefield of Vietnam as he's airlifted out by helicopter.

I encourage you to watch the entire video below.

Meat Falls Off the Bone

I love this commerical. I've watched it on youtube about 50 times now. Not exaggerating. It's just so damn catchy. If I'm ever near 1017 South Air Depot I'll definitely make a pilgrimage.

Whatcha gonna do?

So the election is over. Maybe you are happy that Obama won. Maybe you are despairing that McCain lost. Maybe you didn't vote or voted for another candidate.

It's natural to experience post-election euphoria or despair for several days, however the more important question is once that wears off, how ya gonna act, my friends?

Are you going to:
1. Do nothing different, continue living your life just as you had prior to the election results
2. Approach life with a renewed sense of optimism and hope
3. Complain about the election, approach life with a sense of pessimism, anger and bitterness
4. Threaten to move to another country
5. Actually move to another country

Pick one or several of the options.
