That’s almost the right lyric.

Something from nothing is an A for effort.
So, those lyrics were wrong. You could have gotten nothing from nothing.

Watching this HBO show About the last few months of David bowie. This guy was an icon. Uber famous. Dying. Then he dies and for a few weeks everyone makes a big deal. About it. Then silence forever. Make the most of what you have.

David Bowie has been dead for a long time just like the other actors/singers of his day.

ok, when you are on death bed, instruct family to post news here.
I will write up a story about you and how you promised to come back and save the world.
You can be Ryno the promised Savior.
Sound good?
Your family can do ancestor worship and keep the dream alive.
burial plot should be in easy walking distance of Bourbon street.
We will put you on the map for tourists to come see and feel your Presence.

You can make this statement until you are blue in the face and people will not understand it until they themselves face death.
It's like that old Jim Mora clip. You think you know...but you really don't.
Then when you actually face death and you become one of the actually do know.
It is quite liberating. I am a much nicer person now that I know I'll be dead soon. I see the sadness and weakness in people that is glossed over when you are "living". It's there in everyone. Many do a good job of wearing the happy mask. I have empathy for people much more so than when I was living and trying to rule the world.
I didn't wait till I was dying to start living. I've had a great life. My suggestion is just that. Do what you wanna do while you can.
David Bowie is no different than anyone else. His stuff ends up in a box in a storage shed just like the rest of us.

There is an interesting quote about dying twice.
Irvin Yalom said, "Some day soon, perhaps in forty years, there will be no one alive who has ever known me. That's when I will be truly dead - when I exist in no one's memory. I thought a lot about how someone very old is the last living individual to have known some person or cluster of people. When that person dies, the whole cluster dies,too, vanishes from the living memory. I wonder who that person will be for me. Whose death will make me truly dead?”

I plan to become just rich enough to buy a small plot of land in a city, build a nice statue of myself with a badass quote, and then somehow make it impossible for the city to every move it or do anything to it.
I shall live on.
I shall live on.

After your grandchildren (if you have them), you're dead to the world unless you leave a crap ton of money and get your name slapped on a building.

Perfect example is Keith Jackson just died.
There will be mentions and a memorial 10 seconds on TV and then :poof: no one but family will remember him often.
He'll be mentioned for awhile as a great but he hasn't broadcast in 11-12 years? A generation already doesn't know who he is.
I mean Dick Enberg was a great broadcaster. After a week or two...has anyone mentioned Dick Enberg again?

I might have read it in college. I recall reading some Camus, not sure which.
Looks like I need to investigate, I have re-found a love for reading now that I have 24 hours a day of free time

The Stranger is a quick read.
If you abide, move on to the Plague.
Camus is confusingly beautiful for me.
Why write somethings so grandly just to let everyone know to frick off?

When a chick is smilin' at you
Even though there's nothin' said
You stand there like a statue
Jack, you're dead
When you get no kicks from lovin'
And you blow your top instead
It's a fact that you ain't livin'
Jack, you're dead
When you just ain't got nobody
Since you gone and lost your head
Rigor mortis has set in, daddy
Jack, you're dead
What's the use of havin' muscles
If your life hangs by a thread
If you ain't got no red corpuscles
Jack, you're dead

I never really considered myself a fan of his but has a bunch of good music. That was a really well done documentary.
