Year One - My close friend Mr. Death

As it has become customary these days, I have my list of 13 that signal my entry into the month of September. I've been thinking about death lately and how it affects certain people in ways that sometimes baffle me. I don't understand, nor will I ever, why some people completely break-down at funerals. Personally, I find it a bit self-serving as its a release mechanism that allows you to let go of the person that is gone. Sometimes, I also wonder why everyone else around the person crying don't try and bring them back to reality with a word of comfort or some stern advice about the beauty of life. Of course, I will be called heartless and a total emotionless fuck because of the same but that really doesn't matter to me because I still find it very illogical and pretty selfish at the end of the day.

1. When a pet dies, crying doesn't help because you paid for your pet or got it for free so what your really crying for is loss of investment if you think about it
2. Gas chambers are silly. If you wanted to know the effects of gas on people why not just lock yourself in a room and gas it with a button to let the gas out when your done choking yourself.
3. Tiger Woods can put a golf ball in a hole but he can't use a cellphone discreetly
4. Smoking isn't bad but the effects have made society think otherwise
5. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. So why are so many doctors eating apples?
6. During wedding preparations the bride isn't the only one that goes through hell
7. Bruce Wayne would never have become Batman if he had gone to a good shrink
8. Having a special day for teachers also implies that there should be one for every other profession on the planet
9. Religion is nothing but sales-pitching these days. Don't like one move to another.
10. Heinz is the one company I respect the most in the food manufacturing industry. How can something so cheap as a unit product generate so much money
11. If IQ tests were a gauge for people being allowed to live or die, we'd never have the concept of genius. Corruption might have bit the dust too
12. Top Gun should be retired from Television permanently. Make people pay for the DVD or BR
13. The next time someone tells me that TV Shows are a brain-rotting experience I would like to ask them what politics is. I mean you've got drama, suspense and humour along with all the other makings of a good TV Show
