I think people say life is short because when you really take the time to honestly look at where you're at you will think..damn, where did that time go? I mean I can remember some shit as if it was yesterday and I thought some good times would never end. But these past years seem to have went by so fast.

i hear that man. shit seems like yesterday i was still in jr. high now im bout to have a baby. shit goes way to fast nowadays. thats why i gotta take time to smoke a joint.

Death..

Well, have you ever seen someone die? It's hard to explain.. I saw my grandfather.. I've seen quite a few dead people as well.. People I knew, people my parents knew, relatives.. But I've only seen my grandfather go..


It's the breathing.. He went in his sleep, but after years of cancer BS.. Finally, he gave up.. He fell asleep and an hour later, the death growl thingy.. It looked kindof peaceful, but the sound was ICE cold.. Colder than ice.. Shivering.. When you hear that sound, you know the person is dead.

I watched my grandfather die in much the same way when I was 8. Pale, asleep, and the soft hiss of a final breath. There wasn't much fanfare.

We talk about souls, but as far as I know, and as far as science tells me, when your body ceases to function and your brain is a dead hunk of meat, whoever you were is gone.

Of course I'm fascinated by the idea of a soul, by the idea of an afterlife. I just can't let myself take that irrational leap.
