    I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.

    -Woody Allen

    It's going to sound strange, but the thought of death is a little exciting. Lots of people claim to know what will happen after we die but no one can know for certain because there have been exactly zero credible eyewitness accounts from the afterlife. We know infinitely more about the depths of space and the universe and particle physics and all sorts of really complicated stuff than we know about the afterlife. What happens to our consciousness after death is the greatest mystery of our lives, and death is inevitable, and it's soon. Am I the only one that finds the idea of coming to that threshold and crossing it mindblowing? And if there is nothing left of me on the other side then I guess that's that. But if there is?

    Not that I'm in any hurry to get there, mind you. Living is pretty awesome too!
