My Grandma died last weekend.
I think I may be pretty jaded. I haven't been upset, it's just what I expect people to do. Especially the old ones, so I'm not real into having people feel sorry for me or anything, which is why I've started phrasing my response as to why I'm not doing anything for Halloween with Grandma in the present tense, as if she is alive and well, throwing her own bash.
It also made me decide that I don't want to die in a hospital, although I can't seem to buy a DNR bracelet online. Stupid sanctity of live. Rather than being all drugged up with people taking blood samples all the time....check that, I would like to go out all drugged up...but rather than having relatives coming around to be sad, I'd rather be trapped in some cave in the wilderness, scared, desperate, cold and hungry, possibly cornered by a bear that I had attempted to befriend. Eventually I would manage to kill my brethren bear, and would attempt to crawl for safety, but I'd be too weak and die crawling up a hill, close enough to hear the traffic from a busy highway just on the other side.

Parent Clones
After 6 weeks in a cast from foot surgery and after a few weeks of being fairly hobbled, plus a break in coaching for a few days, I decided to clean the fuck out of my house.
While cleaning, I discovered not only a hairbrush containing what is obviously my mom's hair and one of my dad's wisdom teeth, which I guess they didn't dispose of as bio-waste in the 60's, as I was always fascinated by them and dismayed when I was not allowed to keep my teeth...although in retrospect, it may just be that anything coming out of me could be considered some sort of biohazard.
Anyways, it got me to thinking...what if I could somehow clone my parents and raise them as my own? Being that they raised me, my parenting would be modeled from theirs in some way, shape or form. While their environment would be different from their own childhoods, they'd be raised in the same one that I was. Would they turn out similar to their original selves, or degenerate rugby players just like any of my birth children will be?
Furthermore, would they fall in love due to genetics and spawn another me? And after breeding with their sibling, could I have them sent to some sort of correctional facility and raise my grandself? and how exponentially kick-ass would Goody/B turn out after being raised by Goody/A?
