dear diary,
i prefer north carolina over michigan hands down. the weather is better, the air is cleaner and the economy is more sound (comparitively speaking). i was thinking of all that charlotte has to offer in terms of what detroit doesn't, and it lead me to bodyworld...and the reason for this was due to a discussion i had with a guy i went to lunch with the other day. for those of you that don't know or have never heard of bodyworld, allow me to give you a quick run down. it's people that have donated their bodies to science, and a german "artist" has removed the skin to expose the inerts of the human. it sounds creepy, but the concept is pretty cool. i, however never went to see it. i started laughing thinking if i decided to donate my body to science, i wondered if that would be my ultimate demise...to be on display at local science centers nationwide. this is rather morbid to think this way, but i would do this. i would only donate my body to science if i knew for certain that this would be my perminant "resting place".
i've often joked (half serious) that when i die, i want to be stuffed by a taxadermist and strategically placed next to my fireplace with a pipe, smoking jacket, and a huge cup of coffee. until i figured out that i could go "on tour" with bodyworld. oh just the chance to hear my friends say something like, "hey...where's maynard this weekend?...oh, he's at the des moines science center...tickets are $30!" and that way, i'll always be around.
i love you,
maynard
