sadness

I just returned home from attending a friend's funeral in Pleasant Hill. The whole tradition revolving around funerals is sad and heartbreaking. There was the sit down church part of the funeral which consisted of a couple speeches from the minister and the father in-law. Then we carpooled in mass to the local graveyard for my friend's ashes to be laid to rest. Everything seemed so routine and without feeling and completely...final.

That's why my plan is to be cremated and my ashes scattered into the Bay from the GGB on a very windy day while all my friends and family are against the wind so the odds of everyone getting a nice coating of my ashes will greatly increase. Then they will all go out to some fancy Chinese restaurant I choose in advance (probably Empress of China) to have a banquet style dinner and pass out gold coins to everyone who attended. Then it'll be over.
