For He Hath Passed...

There are those days when I think about the time when I pass from this earth and this existence of suffering. Being Buddhist, we tend to think our lives are meant to be a life of suffering. Your suffering is only ended the day when you can be liberated from your earthly form and reborn.

So my thought was whilst watching a Bruce Lee documentary was did I do enough in life to be remembered? Have I done anything noteworthy to even be remembered? Have I made a mark on the people that I've touched in my lifetime?

Let's be frank, unless you're Michael Jackson, or Billy Mays the likely-hood of anyone remembering you after a month will be quite slim...

I mean I'm sure my family would remember me, and some of the goofy crap I've done to garner a laugh from them... Also, most of my relatives have a picture of me somewhere in their homes... So at least they have some physical evidence I was alive...

My friends would probably fall into the category of they'll remember me for a month then kinda forget about me. I wish I could say that wasn't the case. Well, maybe I should amend that statement, I should say very few people would not forget about me... But those are the few whom actually care about me as a person.

So there will come a day when I'm at Fatburger eating a XXXL and die of a massive coronary (that's how I plan to go folks...) What will I have done to make my mark? Well first things first I need to get out of the dead end job I'm in... I want to get some headshots done and work on my writing and acting passions. I also want to get our media company off the ground, I'm hoping our buddies Paco and Eric will be on board for the journey...

Despite what my religion tells me, I want to grab all I can get and have fun for once in my life... I had to grow up real early and never got a real childhood... And I want to do it with a bunch of cash in my pocket, where I don't have to look at the price tags on things... And I want to be remembered for being a good writer, actor, and media mogul... And hopefully a good husband and father...

What are you doing to leave your mark? I gotta find mine...
