bury a bone

while driving home last night, i thought about the things that are gonna happen today. well, my wife "imposed" on me to do the driving on our way to the cemetery... damn, i hate typing that word... my wife's such an old school!! three places i hate: hospital, funeral parlor and of course, you've read it...

is it really necessary to do all these ceremonies i'm about to immerse myself into? go to the mass (i'm not catholic), walk from the church all the way to the... ah! cemetery???! said it again! were young, the generation x people... open/broad-minded, liberated kind. why all the trouble? our modern world calls for practicality. and oh, can't we have a little consideration with others? you know, the traffic. i don't know about people of my age but when it comes to these places (the three mentioned), i'm very, very anti-social.

can't we change it? i mean, with all the rituals we have to go through, we really can't change the destiny of the dead... why don't we just bury them after death or cremate? it's much cheaper. we don't have to go to the bleeep (i bet you know what) during all saints/souls day... save us a lot of trouble, right???

i wish it's tomorrow already; at least i'm done doin' b.s. today.

my two cents.
