I have spent the last few days thinking about death and how television, movies and books portray it. I want to say for the record it is all lies. When I was 16 years old I was surfing off the coast of Delaware during a storm in December. I wiped on a massive set and my board cracked me in the head knocking me unconcious. I drown that day. My friends were able to pull me out and revive me with CPR but one thing I am certain of is this. I saw NOTHING! There was no semi-nude pottery making with my girlfriend. No tunnel of light with all my friends and family waving to me and telling me to step into the light. Not even a fluffy cloud with angels playing harps or bagpipes or whatever. Now I know what you are thinking my friends. He was 16 so he must have been chuck full of sin. Well of course I was. But then where the hell was my lake of fire with the souls of the damned burning forever. Where was my eternal torment of being thirsty and never being able to reach the pint of Guiness. At the very least maybe a devil with a pitchfork. But no of course not. I am shocked that the media has lied to me like this. I have seen shows on TV where these wing nuts talk about how they saw this and that and it was amazing or scary. How come I didnt see it. Well I guess my only choice now is to go and hang out on the roof of my house wearing a tin foil Pirate Hat and maybe if I am lucky I will get abducted by aliens. Minus the probe that may be fun.
Cheers..and keep watching the skies
