Blog Reviews

Goku Blog : I love this blog because of its free speech feel to it. Every line has something really meaningful or cool to it, and that's awesome. My favorite line is the last one, "Hakuna Matata, take a breath and restart.". Whoever wrote this has some champ skills. http://jadenjtheboss.blogspot.com/

Traffic Cones On Churches: Their remember blog is sooooo good. The word choice, personality, message, everything, is awesome. I really want to read more from them. http://trafficconesonchurches.blogspot.com/

Aileen's Blog: I enjoy her blog about remembering, because it makes the point of saying we should credit those who influenced us when we were young, not just important figures like presidents and such. She also quotes my favorite children's book "Oh, The Places You Will Go" by Dr. Suess. http://aileen-blog-juneau.blogspot.com/

Remember...

George Harrison (In his Jesus phase)
Last words. They seem to be so important when someone passes, but why? It's just a phrase. Some are well thought out, beautiful last words, but you don't always know when you're going to die, so really any words could be your last. Never the less, they're often told at funerals, written down as quotes and remembered by people to be a snapshot of who you were as a person.
It always seems as though famous people have the most meaningful of last words:
"Love one another." -George Harrison
"It's better to burn out, than to fade away" -Kurt Cobain
"I die hard, but am not afraid to go." -George Washington
Mozart being a champ as usual
And my favorite..."The taste of death is upon my lips. I feel something that is not of this earth." -Mozart
It makes me wonder if these words were planned, or if these people were really as amazing as their last words make them seem. Either way, hearing those words makes you think of the person in the way their last words represent them. Harrison, a lover, Cobain, a rebel, Washington, courageous, and Mozart, unprecedented. All are accurate descriptions if you ask me. So maybe last words are important, not only for you, but to your loved ones as well. They are an eternal embodiment of who you were and are hopefully a meaningful depiction.
