What is going to happen to our things when we die?

Well...since I'll no longer have any need for them after I croak, it's not really a question I struggle with. Perhaps a nice big bonfire fueled with all my worldly possessions would be nice. I like that idea! People are always telling me to "get my s**t together." Why? Who needs a big pile of s**t? Well, now I'm thinking they may be right. If all my s**t is one big pile, nobody will have to gather it all up to set it ablaze.

I suppose it may seem selfish that I don't want anyone else to enjoy my s**t after I'm gone! f**k that! You've got your own s**t! This is my s**t! When I'm dead, I want all my s**t burned until it's nothing but a bunch of glowing embers. All my loved ones can watch the embers slowly go out. Hopefully, somebody will say, 'Well, he's gone now. And so is his all his s**t!"

Landfill. It’s just stuff. In my semi-nomadic experience, material possessions have been more of a burden than a blessing.

Not to mention, everything is going digital these days. Who's going to want a flash drive full of your old JPGs?

I think it was Bruce Willis who made a really good point: he was trying to figure out how to work his iTunes music collection into his will, so his son could inherit it...but Apple said that was against their terms.

I really want people to enjoy my music and audio equipment collection, after i'm gone from earth.

This hasn’t really crossed my mind before. I love my Beanie Boos and can’t imagine them in a landfill. Maybe I can have them in heaven. Then there’s my writing. I’m not worried about the writing as much as I am my Beanie Boos.
