Just in Case

I amended my death arrangements today. No, I do not have a terminal illness, but assuredly the drugs, speeding, and uncooked meats will catch up to me someday. I keep a document (that my parents know about) on my computer in the off chance "my time comes". This includes funeral requests (music, scriptures, pall bearers, etc) and a few other weird things I want done or communicated. I just don't want my folks working out details like this in their time of grief... I'll use "grief" lightly, as their sorrow may be directly proportional to how recently I've been arrested, stolen their car, or wiped out their bank account. I know this is kinda 'dark' and all, but I think it's foolish not to face your own mortality. Additionally, I am a control freak and why should things be any different just because I die. I don't want some douche bag hauling my dead ass or being a part of my big finale.

Every year or so, I review the document and make changes, when necessary. I can't remember the last time I made a change, but today was a complete overhaul. So weird. It reminded me of how my life has changed in the past year and how my relationships with others have changed, as well. It also reminded me I need to buy a new turkey baster (don't ask).

Ok, so is it really bizarre that I have this "will" or moreso, that I am so casual about my own death? I'd love to hear your comments. Although I don't really give a shit what you people think, so I'll probably jus use what you have to say as fuel to make fun of you later, so comment at your own risk.
