it seems to me that every year around this time, death is very prominent on my mind. now, it could be that is the case because of my birthday on January 21st. or, it could be that is the case because winter is the season of death. or, it could be the case that i'm just a morbid fuck. regardless, given the number of high profile deaths here lately, it certainly has entered my brain that my own life will end one of these days. and maybe it is because my mother has cheated death twice now and we spent a good portion of her doctor's appointment yesterday going over DNR scenarios... for some time now, i have thought of death as the natural ending of life. every living thing is going to die. now, i do agree with Lemmy, the closer you die to your birthday, the more natural that death is. the circle of life naturally completes itself. add in all the diseases, drugs, alcohol, the world itself, etc., etc. and there is a plethora of reasons why the circle will close sooner than it most likely should. it floored me yesterday when Lisa Marie Presley died. less than a decade older than me. part of me wonders if after being at the Golden Globes and seeing the actor that won an award for playing her father, kind of closed the circle for her. i often joke about my mother being on the backside of the circle these days. hell, i know damn well i am as well. but unlike my mother, i am not afraid to die. now, i wouldn't mind if death would wait for me to get a few things done first; experiencing real love, seeing a few more oceans, getting my movie written, etc. all in all, just a long-winded way of saying enjoy your life, squeeze all the fucking marrow out of it, and always remember, you are not required to leave a beautiful corpse. rest in peace to Lisa, Robbie Knievel and Robbie Bachman.
now back into the here and now...
the New York Rangers won an absolutely thrilling game last night, defeating Dallas at home 2-1, in OT. now, the Rangers didn't score until there was less than a second left in the game. and then, Adam Fox won the game in OT. this certainly makes me want to believe that it is going to be another special season for the Rangers.
Vice News Tonight was really good last night.
Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.
NJPW was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
