The Five

So on this other blogging site I use, about every friday-this group poses 5 questions to answer. I'd figure I'd start posting them up here...they're called the FRiday five and yes i know it's saturday..it's just yesterday I couldn't be bothered to post them up.

If you knew you were going to die on at specific day at a specific time, what's...
1. the last song you would listen to?
I actually don't know. I think it would be something old school though- maybe Stand by me. I think that'd be a fitting song to go out on.

2. book you would read?
I doubt I'd spend my last days reading-There'd be no point reading anything new and no point in wasting time reading old stuff. I'm far from religous so I wouldn't turn to the bible. No..in my last days there'd be no reading.

3. person you would talk to?
I love a lot of people. But the people I would want to talk to most are my mom and my brothers. I would want them to know that even though I don't show it, that I love them. And that it's never been anything different. I would want them to know that I didnt' think less of them or harbor any resentment for anything.

4. food you would eat?
I'm not sure with regards to an entire meal, but all i know is I would want steaming hot corn bread with butter. I haven't had that in so long(the whole diet thing you know) but god damn, just writing about it, i can taste it in my mouth.

5. goal you would accomplish?
I'd like to complete some sort of masterpiece(at least in my eyes.) Something that maybe would be left hidden for like 15 years after my death somebody stumbles on it and releases it to the world-a piece of work that maybe 20 years later would in turn inspire somebody else to do something great.

That would be cool.

5 things I would do

The Song:
Not sure. Suicidal Thoughts by Biggie. I am trying to think of something a little less melancholy, but that's what's coming to mind.

The Book:
I barely read now. Reading is too time consuming of an endeavor when I am about to die. Maybe I would read Over in the Meadow. It was one of my favorite childhood books. Plus it would only take about 5 minutes to get through.

Person I would talk to:
This is a tough one. Maybe my brothers and sisters. Some of them are a lot younger than me. I need to explain some things to them that maybe I am waiting til they get older to tell them.

Food:
I might eat myself to death before I actually died. Ribs, fried shrimp, extra crispy buffalo wings, calamari, macaroni and cheese, candied yams, french fries, collard greens, sweet potato pie, and cookie and cream ice cream.

Goal:
I would like to have a son. Maybe that would be unfair to him to have to grow up without a father. Perhaps I would finish this movie I am writing or open a restaurant. Something that would be around long after I'm gone.

Suicidal thoughts passed

Suicidal thoughts passed though my mind but I figured it'd be too depressing to hear that when I was going out. I mean I think if I knew I was going to die, I'd be depressed inside, but I'd want to put on a smiling face on the outside you know.

As for your meal..damn son.
