Funeral
What do you think about at a funeral?
the relationship I had with that person, memories we shared, and their accomplishments. sorrow for those closer to the deceased than I, and thats about it (Ive only been to one)
it depends on whose funeral.
i've only been to one. it was kinda weird. i wasn't like super close with the guy, but the first night i ever took ecstasy i was with my best friend, her boyfriend and his best friend ryan whom i was dating...and the guy who later died (also named ryan) showed up so we like partied together that night and we had that rolling "bond" that you make when you roll with people...just bullshitting all night and getting to know each other. he was really cool and he and the guy i was dating grew up together since they were like babies, so when he died a few months later, i just went to the funeral to support ryan, but it was still weird knowing that the other ryan was gone forever.
during the funeral i just kept thinking about that night and i remembered he was talking about being a firefighter and stuff. i also thought about his family and then of course my bf...he had to give a speech and he was trying not to cry and stuff...it sucked. i can't say for sure, but i got the impression that he (the guy who died) had a drinking/pill problem and i'm pretty sure he died from wrapping his car around a tree driving wasted in the middle of the night. i didn't ask a lot of questions, but that was just what i had heard.
actually i think he was supposed to be driving down to ft. lauderdale from orlando to come and see us again and party, and i think he stopped at a party the night he was supposed to leave, and got wasted and never made it here obviously. cuz i remember my bf saying he was coming down and we were all like yea cool! but he got in the accident.
don't drink and drive!!!!
I've only been on 1 funeral, I didn't even know the person. at that time it was something like:
imagining a clown riding a mini bike with a track on the background that goes...tu tu turutututuru... tu tu turututuru or something
yeah it depends on who it is, but sometimes I just have weird thoughts running through my head. Yeah I know your supposed to be thinking of the person and doesn't mean i don't. I might see I hot chick and I'll be thinking bad thoughts if you know what I mean. I know its wrong but you can't tell your mind what to think about it has a mind of its own (no pun intended). Or I'll start thinking about what it will be like at my own funeral, will anyone care... Then I usually play out the scenario of if I wasn't really dead and I woke up in the coffin while they're shoveling dirt on me, could I get out? What can i say i'm one messed up mofo.
Teh only time I think of girls around there and my own funeral and things is when im not really close to the person that is dead. however when its ur best friend laying there its hard to think about how hot his sister is. 
im not saying its impossible hehe.
but for those not that close, like a great aunt, or cousin twice removed I think about if they are feeding us, when is it over, and then I try to stay awake.

sex, drugs, and EDM.
silly answer for a silly thread.
I've been to two funerals so far.
In the first one, it was the father of a good friend of mine. His father had died all of a sudden, and my friend was finally getting close to him (they weren't "best friends" before that)... I had a thread about it. My first thought was quite silly actually - "Why the heck am I the only one wearing black?" 
The second funeral was heart-braking. It was, once again, the death of a friend's father. However, his mother was sobbing in despair, yelling some things in Mandarin (I can't imagine how more anxious I would've been if I understood what she said).... the thought I had the most was - "If it's this hard for me, I can't imagine what it feels like for them. Yet, I can't do anything".
However, I believe none of my experiences can be compared to the funeral of my girlfriend's father: They did it in her bedroom when she was 15. She said she couldn't sleep properly for a whole week after that.
I think about the pineapple crisis currently happening Africa. I mean, when you look at their current status as possibly the poorest continent in the world, one has to bring into the fray that this is partially caused by their lacking pineapple resources. Pineapples are a vibrant source of per capita income since they are so versatile. They can be used from everything to eating, or as sex toys. The fact that they are lacking such a pivotal resource can only lead me to conclude that that is why AIDS is so prevalent there.
Oh yeah, and about dead people. I think about dead people too.
^you can see them?

Most of the time I'm thinking "How should I be acting/feeling" to be honest.
Even at one of my grandmothers (the grandad on that side I didn't even know when he died I think it was when I was young) when I held a cord (lowered her in). I wasn't very close to her so it was a bit weird.
But if it was my other grandmother or grandad (who I lived with at uni) I'd be pretty cut up I imagine.
One of the funerals I didn't actually goto (have a good but not interesting reason) affected me the most I think, the guy was young and I knew him well, just thinking about him being in the cold hard frozen ground when his parents go past on a christmas day to his grave (i've seen them go past our house which is on the way).
Just depends on how close you are I think.
i usually point and laugh as there are being lowered into the ground.

my great uncle died in December and at his funeral i kept looking at the little timeline of his birth
1912-2004
i just think of the years that people were born in and wonder just how different it was compared to today. It's a little under a century, but still the early 1900s seem so far away.
I wonder if anyone is still alive that was born in 1899 or 1900?

| Originally posted by igottaknow I usually don't go that far but strangely enough I'm in a good mood after a funeral. I mean how down can you be? You're alive while the other poor bloke is pushing up daisies. Got to make the most of the rest of your life and hit some more chicks b4 its your turn to take a dirt nap. No better way to celebrate life then fucking! |
