Here's another reason why I've started this blog. I can't stop thinking about what will happen when I die. I consider myself a Buddhist, and want to believe in the life after death and the reincarnation. But I can't completely believe that. When I die.....there'll be nothing?? I will just vanish away? This thought scares me.
In a Japanese (or maybe originally Chinese) folklore/superstition, it is believed that if you eat mermaid meat, you will have eternal youth/immortality. I want it! Usually in falk tales, those who obtain eternal youth have to bear lonley miserable life forever. But I think I can enjoy it. I'm just afraid of death. Yes, I'm coward. Because I love my life!
Well, I don't know where I can get mermaid meat, besides, I don't want to kill them. So, I just thought maybe I should have something to prove my existence.....even after I.....

why not call your blog mermaid meat?
i find the idea that when you die that it all ends—no heaven, no hell, no reincarnation, no nada—is comforting. you have your life, you do what you do, nothing follows you beyond the moment of death, the end.
and i think your blog is off to a great start, a good mix of topics so far.
I'm with diablo on the dying. However, I'd like a serving of MM if it would make me young (like, say, 21) until the day I die (painlessly in my sleep) at around 90. That would rock!
