Funerals suck
I've been to a few, 2 grandads, a grandma and a younger sister of a friend who died in a fire (she was the one we think we contacted in the "dark side" QOTW) and though sad, they don't get the point across. I can't celebrate anybody's life while trying to hold back tears just sitting there, trying to console someone.

I heard someone somewhere suggest that instead of a minutes silence for rememberance, we should give one minutes rapturous applause. Personally I whole-heartedly agree.

So I've started planning my funeral now, I'm not sure what venue yet (definitely not a church, cremated before hand and then ashes buried on site in something that won't last long in the ground), but I want there to be no seats, I want a mosh pit at my funeral! Some of the song's I'm thinking of are Alter Mann by Rammstein, I think Sleep Now In The Fire by RATM is essential. I'd also probably want a band there, and no strangers reading a eulogy, just a film/slideshow of my life, I get buried a few metres in front of the stage, and then everyone gets drunk and mosh pit starts on top of me...that'll make 'em remember me!

No apologies for length, merely for size of ego.
