Yeah, like what if you actually could use some money wherever you go when you die... But maybe they have a different currency there... Maybe they trade in seashells, or fish scales, or something else infinitely more interesting that dirty old dollar bills...

Anyhow, lately I've been thinking... what if we don't actually "die" when people say we "die"... Maybe we've got the whole thing all screwed up and wrong...

I mean, just because we're not around anymore...does that mean we've "died".

Like, if I go on a trip somewhere and my friends can't see me and don't know where I am, am I as good as "dead"?

What if the act of "dying" is just like walking into the next room...only we just leave this dumb flesh shell behind... Maybe we just go on living somewhere else in some other shell... Like a snake shedding its skin...

Meanwhile, the people who thing we're dead forget about us, and the people who keep us alive in their thoughts are right... we are... we "are" just somewhere else... like we left and went on a trip to India and don't feel like coming back here because it's a dumb place to be...and besides, we have a nice shiny new skin and want to enjoy it for awhile...

Hmmmm...

Sorry for not being more fun, I have to draft a Power of Attorney and stuff like that. My mind is not free to come out and play.
