i've been thinking about when i die. and it's not fun.
don't bring huge bouquets, bring a single flower.
don't make one of those photo collages, just one photo.
don't do a viewing.
and there better be music.
oh, there better.
wear whatever you want.
you don't have to stand.
visitations are good.
do something i would've done. like an elastic band.
cry or don't.
don't try to out-know me. "how did you know andy?"
call me andy, call me andrew, call me captain, call me whatever -- just make it catchy.
don't just sign the guestbook.
don't bother my family -- if they want to sit, let them.
don't say "i just can't imagine" or any variant.
turn off your phone.
sit outside, late that night. or watch a movie. or talk to that special person. or listen to music.



no, i'm not morbid. i'm just circumstantial.
