I've seen "The light" for no reason twice in one day (my vision went black and white, and grainy, and then it got really bright...  think Halo 3 with about 100x Bloom -- This was probably the second most scary)

That happens to me all the time. I have low blood pressure and getting up to quickly does it.

Well, I don't suffer from anything like that, and I was sitting still (it was in the middle of my Responding to Emergencies Class), so it wasn't from getting up too fast.  Which is probably why I was so scared.  Though after laying down for about 5 minutes I was back to normal.  And it's only happened that day too...

Death is the rest for those who lived to tell of living, or for those that god wishes to be closer to him for thier good hearts and pure souls.

Many reason for someone to die, I just hope mine is from old age and happiness.

I'm not particularly scared of death.  I used to be, but i grew an understanding that if i die, i doubt it will be the end of my journey through existence.  I mean i've experienced so much in my life that if i were to suddenly die tomorrow, i don't think i'd be to upset about it.  I mean, I've gained and lost so much.  I used to be very into heavy drugs, heroine being my fave for the longest time, so much so that i watched my "baby momma' to be" pass away from the same shit i was running into my arm.

I've also gotten to experience amazing things.  Meeting Down, Meeting pretty much every band that has come through Cleveland, Living in New Orleans (oh that was an amazing time) living in Tennessee (meh not so exciting, but i got to farm... YES FARM).

I've met interesting and mundane people.  I've eaten fine food, and then sheltered in cars and bus stations.

I've been through so much... and there is no possible way that death will be the end of it.

i'm certain of it.

man being burned alive seems like the most painful way to go, other than some sort of torture of course. That and starving, I heard drowning isn't that bad but I really hate stuff over my mouth/face and suffocating is a really big fear of mine (like small spaces and not being able to breathe) so I think I would probably freak out real bad.

I actually thought about it quite extensively when I was on my last ship and decided I would rather jump ship and freeze to death/drown then stay on that motherfucker and burn alive if a bad fire ever broke out.

Also, traditional hangings are supposed to be pretty instantaneous I think and its just a neck-snap thing so it doesn't seem THAT BAD (if it works right)

"I heard drowning isn't that bad" - apparently when you die from bird flu your lungs flood with your own bodily fluids

I'm not as scared of death as I am of dying before doing the things I want to do, like getting my univ diploma, being completely independent, travel here and there, and have experienced a bit more life.

I don't give death and dying too much thought.  I figure I already have a decent life insurance policy so if something happens to me my family is taken care of and the funeral will be paid for.
