Not a Clue

This blog seems to be dedicated to me figuring out plans for my own death..

When it comes to what I want to have done to my body I will admit I was stumped. 

Having watched far too many episodes of Bones I found myself intrigued by the idea of a Sky Burial (Bones tells Booth that is how she wants to go). Upon further consideration I decided that no, I do not want someone to cut me up into little bits, mix me with goats milk then have animals feast on my remains. I am very happy for the baby vultures that are fed as a result of this practice and I appreciate the tradition behind it, but in my westernized view of the world the only people that cut people apart on a regular basis are Dexter and other serial killers on TV. 

So once again stumped.

I then went paroozing around my fellow classmates blogs, Ethan Littler (http://thetalkingdeadanth397.blogspot.ca/) wrote about becoming a diamond. Which I also found initially intriguing until I thought of the following scenario (which I shared with a friend who laughed at me and proceded to tell me I over think things.) 

...My future daughter is walking down the street after I die and have chosen to become a diamond necklace for her. A stranger stops her and says: "That is a beautiful necklace!" she replies with "Thanks it's made out of my dead mom". All the sudden the police get involved and my daughters day has simply been ruined and she doesn't want to wear dear old mom around her neck again.



Really, I have no idea how I want to go. Apparently I over think things to the point where I no longer find them a good option anymore. Good to know my flaws.
