Dog Refuses To Leave Owners Gravesite

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PhwcJmfjbk&feature=player_embedded#t=0s

This dog in eastern china absolutely refuses to leave the gravesite of his owner. I follow a Boston based sports blog and have been seeing a lot of instances where dogs just remain completely loyal to their owner when they die and It always makes me think of this class and also how special the bond is between man and dog. Even in death, the dog won't leave his side. It's truly an amazing and touching thing to see.

Pretty cool stuff ha? So, I guess all of these people will die before me, death is natural, 80billion people have already died before me, so go live life, you know it is coming... might as well live life right.

The Thrill of Life.

Last weekend I went skydiving for the very first time, and it was ridiculously scary. My heart kept beating wildly and as soon as they opened the doors once we were 13,000ft up in the air, I felt like I was going to die, yet as soon as I was about to leave to jump I saw this quote by Leonardo da Vinci "As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death. " and so I though, life is about chances and experiences, life is about memories, and I when I jumped I no longer felt petrified, but instead felt free, as if saying "if this is life, then I welcome death", I felt as if death was just there to contrast the beauty of life, and that for me is the true thrill of life.

Double Standards?

I wish I would have thought of writing this earlier because I would love to read other's comments, but I literally was thinking about the situation surrounding my husband's death. On November 6th, 2009, my 23 year old husband was killed by a negligent 81 year old in a car accident. We lived in California at the time and the state law on vehicular manslaughter (which is what the man was charged with) has a minimum of 4 years in jail. From what I know from my lawyer was that he never served any jail time, he only had his license taken away. Do you think it's right that somehow this man got out of serving jail time, I am assuming because he was 81 years old at the time? What about if the roles were reversed? What if my husband killed this old man in the same manner? I am pretty sure he would have served the minimum jail time sentence. Do you think that it's right that some how this man didn't serve jail time for killing a US Marine?

Natalie Wood Death

As most of us have probably seen in the news recently, the death of Natalie Wood is coming back into light, controversy and questions are beginning to arise. However, what I have been questioning is why is our cultural so obsessed with death? We all want to find the unsolved mystery or find out who that killer really is. We can look at the case of Casey Anthony, or even of Jeffrey Dahmer, our society was so wrapped up in the death of another or others, that it was in ever headline, every article, etc. I ask myself and others, are we obsessed with fighting for the justice of this death, or we obsessed in the death itself? This is a question that may never be answered but should always be asked.

The Bucket List

This is the trailer of the movie The Bucket List.

This is the ideal of a "Good Death" in my beliefs. In this movie, it shows the reality of death and you should always live your life to the fullest and that it is never too late for lost time. I love The Bucket List. It really is a great movie and I recommend it to anyone. It really might open your eyes to the reality of death and that death doesn't have to be just sadness. You can have to best time of your life while you are in the process of dying, like these men in this movie. It is all up to you and the attitude you have about your life and your death.
