i am very definitely afraid of death, so i try to drive at the speed limit these days. i think a healthy fear of death promotes good health & self-preservation.

however i do not live in cowardice of death, waking up in the morning and saying "oh no! what could it be today? flesh-eating bacteria? ossama? the increasing murder rate?? stray meteorites? mutant mexican zombies???". fuck that! that shit is for people who watch the tv news.

my point, i forgot what was my point... oh yeah, i don't want to die, so i need to eat, so i need to work, so i'd better quit posting here.
