what makes a person who he/she is? the individual definiton? Is it the way one carries themself? The way one works words like magic? Or superficial things, like the way you look, smell, touch, thrust. When you're a cadaver... will any of this really matter?

I've always kind of felt that no matter what you did with your life, beneficial or not, it wouldn't amtter because you'll end up just like everyone else: a gravestone with your name on it & some fake, sugary sweet description of you.

Will what you do after you're dead matter?

Matter - to be of importance.

Important- 1. Drastically affecting the course of events or the nature of things
2. Of great significance or value

Chaos Theory says yes. :-P Any action echoes through eternity.
But, really, value is relative to ones opinion. Everything's relative! In the words of Solomon, the supposed "wisest man to ever live:"

"Vanity of vanities...vanity of vanities; all is vanity."-

LoL.
What does it really matter any way? Any of it? Who knows. Just live how you want to live. Maybe we can all die happy. Wouldn't that be great. "I'm dying and I don't give a shit." That's all I hope for.

...If I die... I for sure want you and Hammy to bust out "pump, pump,pump it up" at my funeral. k?
