Nothing really surprising... Although all I can think about is Will Ferrell singing "Time To Say Goodbye", and freaking owning it.




I had to make a will before and under my "Final Wishes regarding my passage to the next incarnation", I instructed to have Green Days "Ha Ha You're Dead" and Joe Esposito "The Best Around" be played at my visitation. Kind of a joke with my woman, but I'm hoping to force the issue.

What kind of person wants Westlife played at their funeral?

My wife insists that I'm not allowed to die first so she won't entertain my requests like just leaving my body in the trash. Or firing my ashes out of a cannon. I haven't fully decided yet.

I went to a funeral for a friend from college and his mom insisted that "Say Something" by A Great Big World be played, against his wishes(he was a metal head). That's going to be on the top of lists like this in the future.

Albanian funerals are the worst. They hire these "criers" which is a sort of position passed down generations. Basically it's a woman or man trying their best to make everyone cry their eyes out. At my aun't funeral years ago, the crier went on and on about how her grandkids will never see her, how her being paralyzed from MS prohibited her from dancing at her son's wedding, and how shitty it is to live the rest of your life without a mother. They do it in a weird song like fashion too. It was awful.
