Live fast, die young. Having died once, I plan on living forever. So far, so good.
Seriously though, I have died once. I figure I won’t get any other lucky breaks to that degree again. The inevitable is no reason for rushing it, and when you are coming out of darkness, laying there, what’s important becomes real, and the ridiculous becomes even more so.
I know what it feels like to to get that electric charge of life for the third time.
Having died the first time at 38, from an aneurysm, ...it aint luck...more like real a miracle, being the only one to ever survive of 15 known cases, of this type. I am not going to live forever...don't believe I'd want to.
Death was dark, absolute black...but very comfortable, indescribably comfortable! No thoughts, no pain, no feelings of love, or hate, ...nothing but complete, thorough, almost intense comfort...so peaceful, in the complete darkness, alone, surrounded by extreme comfort, and absolutely nothing is of concern.
When they brought me back, I did not know who I was, I had to start over from there...electrical signals from a brain to being a person. And celebrate the anniversary of my death or 2nd life as much as the orginial birthday.
Always thankful to be alive,..everyday.
I am not concerned with death, ...been there.
I want to feel life.... and still ride motorcycles, my favorite a raked out, chopper type with a fat rear tire, old school...but I still go wide open throttle, and rip through the gears. Even did a few wheelies on my kids 185 hp motorcycle at 70 yrs old, but I could see he was a little concerned about me wrecking his motorcycle.
I have survived humanity more than I can stand, bullets cutting the wrinkles in my clothes, drive by shooting, blades to the throat, chains, baseball bat, stabbed, gun fights, fist fights, threats of, gonna kill ya, no big deal, gangbangers hunting you, "were gona make you bleed MFer" ... and you never call the law, that will draw unwanted attention.
One pesky rattlesnake bit my right leg when I stepped on him...but he didn't rattle, and I didn't see him. So I actually expected to die young...but by miracle made it to old age. People have been the largest threat to my life since the beginning. These days I stay away from people, avoid cities completely...small town life, suits me these days... and I'm thinking of relocating all the time, It's getting too crowded...and you never call the law, I lived with alot of violence in the early years and don't understand those who haven't experienced it, and lived such protected lives.
Kids today are getting the same treatment in the inner cities, if not worse. Sad, but they have nowhere to go...
Nothing like a 16 ft high fence to remind you, of who you are, and you don't belong on the other side as I was looking through it, wondering what it would be like...right after another kid tried to cut my throat with a switch blade knife, over a place in line...welcome to grade school. USA...the other side of the fence.
