Voice, it took my 3rd reading (for whatever reason) before I got your first comment.  That's morbidly funny. :)

Jen, you realize that another thing that got me started thinking about this is your bumper stickers, right? :) 

So while I was pondering this seriously, I wasn't opposed to "silly" things (and Voice's falls into that)

I haven't quite refined it yet, but I was thinking something along the lines of "We know where we put the body, but where did the spirit go?" 

Alright I had to look up the word "morbid" after reading your comment Mike.  I think I also need to remove my morbid comment above after finding it (except I can't edit comments. :) ).  I thought morbid meant "of death" or something specifically relating to death.  After looking it up, I was wrong.  That seems to be happening quite a bit lately.

I don't think this topic is morbid.  Actually I think it comes up quite frequently.  Rick Warren seems to have built a movement off of it "Why are we here?"

Joking about it doesn't seem wrong to me either.  Humor takes the edge off of sadness.  Sometimes that is necessary to heal.  One of my favorite scenes in "Good Will Hunting" is the one where Robin Williams relates the story of his deceased wife waking herself up because she farted (and he claimed it so as to make her happy).  

On the other hand, sometimes it's necessary to reflect on it.  My father was over this weekend.  He has trouble seeing and his body is becoming more frail.  My mom passed away 5 years ago.  They used to go to Bluegrass festivals around the area pretty much all summer.  The reason he was over was because our church had a service that was a Bluegrass service.  He cried a lot, and towards the end, I heard a song I've heard a million times before but never really paid attention to the words besides the chorus.

I was standing by my window,
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky

I said to that undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady you are carrying
Lord, I hate to see here go

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky

Oh, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky

I went back home, my home was lonesome
Missed my mother, she was gone
All of my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and lone

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky

We sang the songs of childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones that mother maybelle taught us
Hear the angels sing along

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
Theres a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky

Like one that says:

Final Destination: Heaven? 

I would be a pain in the butt on that one.

I would come up with something that repeated a word 5 times and has 14 words total.  Then I would say "Oh, I thought you meant 10 different words". 

BTW, I didn't really think of this as an exercise that was that odd.  I actually dislike New Year's Eve resolutions but I didn't think this was all that much different than that.

And the reason I don't like New Year's resolutions?  Because if you place the emphasis on the day, as soon as someone breaks their resolution they think "Well that's the end of that".  Or they hit November and say "Well that can wait".

Why?  Do it.
