So i was reading my dear friend Stephanie's recent blog entitled "Theories of Stephanie", you should give it a read (go to the link provided). It discussed life after death and aging and all sorts and it really got me thinking. This may sound stupid, but i never want to grow old. I would be happy to die at age 30. Its not because i can't wait to go to heaven or anything like that, i have no idea what happens after death, and that what makes it exciting. I want to live life to the fullest through my adolescent years and never have to "settle down". That is why i don't want to remain in Camrose for my highschool education, i want to go expolore the world now. I can do all that i was put on this Earth to do before i get bored of being here. To me the whole "getting married and raising a family" is not very appealing. I am not saying i am going to drop a toaster into my bathtub on the morning of my 30th birthday...(well i might but i highly doubt it)...I am just saying that if i were to die at a young age it wouldn't be a tragedy. I mean death under 25 ish always seems so much worse cause they had their entire life before them, but if you live a full, satisfying life before this age than death is just the next step. But i definately want to be remembered, that is important. Create big, bold dreams and then follow them up..do something no one else does, well you can do that while your young and then its like what next? I have always been one to ponder death, what comes next and such. I'll prolly end up changing my mind and having like 30 kids haha, but this is how i feel now a days. think about it. Liz out.

I've always been one to have goals in my life, like other than travelling and making a name for myself. I wan't to have a nice house, I want to have everything I've ever wanted. I want to prove that I can survive in this world we live in.But, I do want to die before I get like... too old. Like crippled old. But I can see why you want to die around thirty... go out with a bang lol.

lol liz, when you say you do your ten things and then move on to something... yeah death isn't something. that's just dumb. and there will ALWAYS be something else for you to do that you haven't done. ALWAYS. prove me wrong. please. i'm really curious. to see the whole world would take waaay longer and to enjoy it too. again. you're dumb. our values isn't the point. you're saying you can do the things you want done now and you'll be finished. haha. i laugh at your stupidity. although that was a really forced laugh, you catch my drift. you stupid nerd.

annelies for one thing i don't literally mean ten things and how do you know death isnt something? Death is the greatest mystery in the world. I have always wanted to know, even in i miss out 50 years and end up rotting away below the earths surface with no after life, or heaven, or anything at all...at least i will have solved the mystery.

You won't have solved anything. no one will find out anything about afterlife through your death. and alright... if you dont think you have somewhere to go... and how can you leave a legacy at the age of 30? possible. but highly unlikely.

I think that if i would just not wake up tomorow, where ever i would end up (prolly hell if it's there) i'd be all.... well fuck this. But it wouldn't be a big loss. But it would also be cool to be that wise man making peoples lives easier with advice and shit. I guess i'm in with the people that respect death but arn't to afraid of it. Death is a mystery that i CAN wait to unravel, it's one of those things where you wanna touch it... but if you do your completely and utterly fucked. Anywho, don't die, get shit faced and have fun/sex with many people at once.

i like that way of looking at it...its like forbidden fruit, you want to know, but you just cant. But as ya'll know i am an Eve, i would eat the fruit and shame the devil. i respect death in its mysterious ways, but i think about it all the time cause its the one thing in this world that no one REALLY knows, no one knows enough to prove other's beliefs wrong. except maybe dan brown, im sure he'll let us all know soon enough lol.
