SOC Blog #8 - Death And Will

I had a thought yesterday and it sprung forward this idea.

I was wondering how many people would do it if, upon my death, I had it in my will that I wanted the muscles from my body removed and cooked; and that each person who held an affection for me would eat a small piece of me.

Firstly of course I don't know the legalities of this, and of course there's the obvious comparisons to christ asking his disciples to eat of his body and drink of his blood. This would not be my intention at all. I just would rather that some small part of me nourish those stil living here. Of course, the fact that I would be exiting their bodies a few days later and into their systems is also an interesting idea.

Went to urgent care yesterday as the right side of my face, save a little bit of movement in my eye is completely paralysed. I'm planning on doing some sort of youtube video showing the fun sorts of things you can do with Bell's Palsy... You can look like an insane person, you can take a piece of paper and split yourself into the human half and the robot half, and you can speak as though you have a great deal of food in your mouth.

On the downside I need to put eyedrops in all the time. I'm on 3 different treatments now, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and a goo I get to put in my eye at night which is then covered with a gauze patch... Arrr me mateys..

Thank you to all of you who read this every day. As much as I want to act like I write this for myself, it's for the readers who glean some sort of enjoyment, or deeper understanding of who I am that it's all about.

Hope the meds aren't making you feel worse.

No muscle for me, thank you. :)

Hope you feel better, Jeff! Christ's words were symbolic, not literal...
