We'll see....I've been pretty blessed so far. I wasn't sure where else to awkwardly put this...and I do not plan on passing away anytime soon (knock on wood), but here's some things to know. I'll make an official will sometime...for now, a blog will have to do.

  • I want to be buried, the coffin doesn't have to be elaborate
  • I want an open casket as long as I don't look that bad
  • I want a party after the wake and funeral. Moscato must be there.
  • Encourage people to wear other things than black during the funeral
  • Play the song "Good Life" and have someone sing "Eagle's Wings" at the service
  • My facebook password is....HA! Just kidding
  • Bury me with a pack of Gummi Worms from 7-11 and a little bag of Reese's pieces
That's all for now!
