According to the Internet Death Clock my personal date of death will be on September 7, 2019. 

Seems like a long way off… but it really isn’t.

So a few weeks ago Lisa was on Karl’s radio show and they were talking about, ”The Power of Blog”.  It’s kind of like the power of attorney for bloggers.  The person granted with ”The Power of Blog” basically fulfills your last request on your blog… meaning they put up your last post, change your template, or do whatever it is that you want done when you have moved from the virtual world into the spiritual ether.

Sadly, you can see an example of blogging posthumously over at Punk Rock Mommy, because yesterday morning Andrea made that journey and her last post in her own words are up.  I was a bit awestruck by this one line…

Death is far more about the living than the dead.

There is truth in that statement.  A scary and unshakable truth that cannot be proven false scientifically and relies upon faith in the intangible to do so.  I myself learned firsthand the comfort that blind faith can bring in the face of death… even to the most cynical of which I was/am.  Personally, I like the whole Dead Like Me idea that you go to your own wake and funeral before going up or down first. 

This actually isn’t a new topic for me.  I’ve already posted about dead blogs and what should happen in the case of my own untimely journey.  Looking back though, I realize that I need to update some things since that was over 2 years ago.  Hell, I need to update a lot since it hasn’t been updated in over a year and a half.  Even though the wisdom that is the Internet Death Clock says I still have 11 years, its something that really should not be put off.

If there’s one thing I know for sure… you never know what tomorrow will bring… and Tony Soprano is still right after all these years.

Have you made your intentions/plans yet?
