Theory: If everyone in the world smoked, there would be world peace. The two biggest lines of bullcrap you'll ever hear from friends: "One last cigarette, then let's go," and "I'll just finish my beer." Don't ever believe it. One last cigarette is equivalent to half a pack more and another lengthy conversation over... you guessed it: more beer. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- You know what it's about? It's about useless conversations regarding the most inane of topics, the perfect buzz and a freshly lit cigarette, classic moments you'll remember forever, the right song at the right time, a brilliant exchange of intellectual bullshit, retarded comments and observations, and a really good laugh. It's the little things that make life worth the fight. Choose the people who matter, and treat them well or lose them forever. Life will suck one moment, and be utterly awesome the next. When I go, I want to be cremated. I want my friends to wax poetic about me, and after their eulogies I want the song "Ticket to Ride" by the Beatles to play and I want everyone to freakin bawl their eyes out while smiling and laughing when they remember all the stupid and brilliant things i've done and said. I want my ashes placed in a big red urn inscribed with the following: "I've always known that life is beautiful, so I sucked the marrow out of it as best I could. I worked hard, played harder, loved the people who were worth it, smiled all the time, cried when needed, laughed whenever I had the chance. I drove fast, drank plenty, and fed my vices. I jumped, skipped, leaped, and ran around for the fun of it. I absorbed everything I could about this amazing world we live in, I saw things I couldn't believe, I believed in people, and people believed in me. And now, I'm ash in a jar. But you know what? This ash isn't me, because I'm already gone and off on another adventure. It doesn't matter that I'm done with this life. What matters is I fucking lived it."
