YAY! I found my original "Last Wishes" e-mail except post. I?m not sure how I?m going to go, but about 18 months ago, I decreed what I would like to be done with my body after I die, in an e-mail to a friend (BY THE WAY: this is why I don?t do amphetamines, very often, anymore). This thread made me think of that, so I found it, and I share it with you all at this time. God, it?s funny to look back on one?s past psychotic ramblings...

Greetings,

When the time comes for my awareness to slip from this mortal coil, and don't take me wrong, this shall be no time soon. I have decided, not to be cremated -- none of that stardust, universal carbon, bullshit form me. No, I want my remains to be redistributed at a proteinous level. I want my amino acids to be perpetuated within the food chain. My wish, is for my carcass be hauled to a remote island in some southeast Asian archipelago, and once there, to be ripped apart by giant monitor lizards, any of the genus, Varanus, (perhaps komodo dragons or another sub-species of the brutes). I savor a truly reptilian end.

"Of these the vigilance I dread, and to elude, thus wrapt in mist of
midnight vapor, glide obscure, and pry in every bush and brake, where hap
may find the serpent sleeping, in whose mazy folds to hide me, and the dark
intent I bring."

-- from, Paradise Lost, by John Milton

It has been suggested that my estate could benefit by the possibility of a live, pay-per-view, web-cast, or perhaps as part of a reality show for the Fox Network, but I would rather that this be a private ceremony attended by a few close friends, of strong gastro-intestinal stature, and followed by a good, old fashioned, drunken wake.

Anyway, those are my current thoughts on the matter?

Ciao,
