Written by Bob Dylan of course but exceptionally well done by Guns and Roses. I heard it today and that combined with Corys comments got me thinking about lots of aspects of death. To start with I thought for a while that Cory was dead but if she was she has just been resurrected. Or maybe she was faking her own death? Anyway welcome back Cory. Like others I miss you too.
Meanwhile I've come to the realization that the big problem with death is not knowing when its gonna come. I have accepted that it is inevitable but wouldn't it be great to have a better sense of when. Then you'd know whether to sell everything and move to Arizona or whether you should go get a second job.
Then of course it would be good to know that you are indeed going to heaven. I'm not sure if I am, I'm only sure I'm not going to the other place because the whole idea of hell is so ludicrous. Only organized religion could have ever dreamed it up.
I also wonder about those people who are so convinced they are going to heaven and are also so convinced that it's such a place of bliss and happiness. My question to them is "what are you hanging around here for? Why don't you go knock on heavens door?"
The other thing I realized as relates to death is that there's lots of good things about it. For instance you wont get any e-mail, or any kind of mail for that matter, and you won't have to make your mortgage payments. Maybe that's why Cory was pretending to be dead eh?
I had a decent workout day. I swam 2000 metres in my westuit in 36:43 with the second 1000 being faster than the first. And I rode 65 kms at an average of 31.5 kms/hr again with the second half faster than the first. I tried my new "fuel" concoction today as well and really liked it. It is a combination of a carbohydrate powder called CarboPro and a sports drink mix called Accelerade. I finished the day with a half hearted weight workout.
I wish to dedicate day 260 to my Kung Fu hero David Carradine who it seems might have gone knocking on the door?

And after yesterday's comments people are still wondering why I occasionally fake my own death??!! As soon as I admit to being alive it becomes open season on "smack the bitch, taunt the bitch, and when she's down, kick her!!" All right so maybe I'm just getting my just desserts but ganging up on me like that must be unconstitutional. And Teresa just because I can't spell doesn't mean you're smarter than me. I think you've lived with that delusion long enough, thanks to that bitch Claudette who put the idea in your head in the first place.
p.s. - did you sea I used sum big words? if they're knot spelled write I don't want two no.
I still think I'll go to heaven, just to see if it's all it's cracked up to be. I'll write when I get there.
Thanks for the compliment. I still agree Teresa is smarter but you are definitely the writer of the the family. I coming with you when you go to heaven because if they let you in I know they will let me. I love you with all my heart. Thanks for being you.
