O'Death
Again I was told that I am linguistically dramatic and referenced death too often for people to be comfortable. I clearly remember the first instance when this occurred. I was in a darkened theater waiting for the show to start, which had the thermostat set to 2 degrees to compensate for the 180 degree stage lights. I told my critic that my sister once had to amass a bug collection in middle school. Instead of ethanizing the bugs, she would catch them in a zip lock bag and throw them inside of the freezer and let them decide what they were going to do in that ice block...I feel that cold. That is when I was told I talked about death too much. Where in that antecdote did I reference death? If anything I think I talk about bugs and mole rats*(reference) much more than death. And when I am having a bad time somewhere and I make the sign of the noose and stick my tongue out, you don't know that I necessarily died in that imagined scenario.
Since we are not on the subject, I recently woke up and realized that I am no longer afraid of it. I am still scared of slowly aphixiating in an asthmatic fit after going to a dinner party where I was not warned about the 5 cats or being in a plane where a high-flying misguided pigeon discovers the engine and I will still scream if a mugger points a gun at me. Not that I am welcoming it and I really don't want to start over again, but I am no longer going to fight with Jesus over my lunch money. If he wants it he can have it.
Currently I attempting to finish my expose on dry cleaning for the project I am working on and I have a paragraph stuck in my shoulder. This should have only take about an 1 hour, but is going on its second week.
Anyway, here is a song for you:
I'm taking the title as meaning I have a smiley face in my heart for you, and not, you know...death
The original:I Will Follow You Into the Dark
My wife's version
(Note: Destiny's Child's 'Say My Name' proceeded this song in my iTunes playlist, which was very cruel. It's like shining a flashlight into a mole rat's eyes*.)
