Make a Will

Completed: 16. Make a Will 

I have property, dogs, and I turned 30 last year, so I figured that I should probably get my shit together and create my first will. If it were left up to Kris, he would stuff me and prop my corpse up on the couch as if I were still living — another good reason to take care of my postmortem plans while I’m still on this earth.

In short:

• I want to donate my body parts to whoever needs them.
• I want the remaining parts of my body to be cremated.
• I want my funeral to include a second line parade. The band is instructed to play a slow, instrumental version of Juvenile’s “Back That Ass Up” at least one time.

And now to leave you with one of my favorite quotes on death (because who doesn’t have one?):

“I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear. I hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path. I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state.” – Roger Ebert
