I think about your obsession with death and I reflect on how many years have passed and I hope you have stopped with the mental loop. Everything dies and then renews itself and yet stuck in that dark morbidity. I thought about the horror of never dying and becoming something new, such as a tree or even a diamond since we are all carbon atoms. Perhaps I could have my carcass blasted into space, a nude body, wrinkled and aged discentrigrading when it reenters the atmosphere; a performance piece to only be performed once. The sad thing is the message of trying to remain past an expiration date. We are being that want to continue, though we are as butterflies. We copulate furiously, and die after we have had our fill. The more dangerous fate is go hang on to life for so long because we are afraid there really is nothing. Fearful creation we have become, but courageously we go forward, despite all fears. <br /><br />Humanity is the ultimate fool's journey. Doomed from the start. In a solar system so far removed from other life that we will be dead and gone, never known by others. But we tell ourselves, 'it's OK;because it we were being discovered, we were being conquered.' <br /><br />No worries Philip, no belief in anything is required and you could use your cell phone for your vision and have your estate pay your cell phone bill to make it work, on your iPhone 1.0, using the classic telephone ringtone (though no one would hear it, but I am sure wireless recharging will be a thing in the future. )<br /><br />I miss you dear man. Don't die anytime soon.<br /><br />-Miss M<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354201964419740287.post-20176946005895604012010-05-17T00:32:45.844-07:002010-05-17T00:32:45.844-07:00"crack" the joke-- Gosh, I hate typos......"crack" the joke-- Gosh, I hate typos...

I'm not familiar with all of the smaller cemeteries in Paris, but it just seems as though it would be INCREDIBLY expensive to be buried in the big ones... <br /><br />Great post... When I was a little girl visiting my aunt and uncle in NJ, my uncle would creak the joke... "People are dying to get in..." every time we drove by a cemetery... I still remember that to this day!islandgirl4ever2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11113491173234673894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354201964419740287.post-63999614602737554022009-11-08T08:56:26.877-08:002009-11-08T08:56:26.877-08:00Sorry to be repetitive but . . .

Absolutely Brilliant!!<br /><br />I hope you live a very long life happy life full of martinis and fun, but I also hope I outlive you and remain healthy enough to experience your final masterpiece.<br /><br />I expect it will take some of the edge off of dying.

Will there be room for a small martini bar in your tomb, or should we just bring our own (and one as an offering)?<br /><br />LesleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354201964419740287.post-35136057565094295582009-10-25T14:27:36.692-07:002009-10-25T14:27:36.692-07:00I have a few places picked out...not joking about ...I have a few places picked out...not joking about my family...There will be some sort of machine to take my calls............Thank you for your comment..as always ...pPHILIP BROOKERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419107891541235104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354201964419740287.post-57467932888052465722009-10-25T14:08:17.427-07:002009-10-25T14:08:17.427-07:00I certainly hope you are joking about your family ...I certainly hope you are joking about your family members! So where among the dead have you scoured for a locale? Pere Lachaise might be hard to get into (no jokes about dying to get in)? I wonder, if you managed to locate an answering machine (do they exist anymore...or will they exist that far into the future). May it be very far into the future...<br />A great image (the photograph and not your death).<br /><br />Even in death, you will be art.<br />MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354201964419740287.post-29743434182196457862009-10-25T12:15:05.491-07:002009-10-25T12:15:05.491-07:00thank you...........thank you.....thank you...........thank you.....PHILIP BROOKERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419107891541235104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354201964419740287.post-26495028802185718032009-10-25T12:11:07.362-07:002009-10-25T12:11:07.362-07:00Brilliant!
