Mad World

A few musical choices for the reading of this blog.  

I Monster - Heaven inside you.

Gary Jules - Mad World. 

I just finished Donnie Darko, and a while back on Xanga I wrote a blog about a quote in that movie.  It goes, "Destruction is a form of creation."  That is not what this post is.  In the movie Frank tells Donnie the exact time when he is going to die.  So this brought up the question, what would you do if you knew the exact time and date of your death.  Perhaps this is a little macabre but so is life yes? What would you do if you knew?  In the movie he is given 28 days plus a few hours.  Would it change the next almost month and they way you spent it. Would you spend it appreciating the family and friends around you? Would you savor the smell of the roses.  The delectable sandwich you eat for lunch?  Would all of the annoyances of everyday life suddenly vanish?  Would you tell anyone or would you keep it from them?  Would your love grow exponentially or would you try to get them to move on before you go? Would you find religion? Would you cry or be apathetic? Would life go on the same as before? Would you forgive those who have done you wrong? Would you seek pardon from those you have wronged? Perhaps it may seem like an interrogation from me to you on the subject, however I am asking myself the very same questions.  Life is over in a blink are you ready? Can you say for sure you are comfortable with the idea of death? Ah well c'est la vie. In mine I have questions and until next time I will leave you with these. 

Sincerely,
