- Since I've never
been religious, will never be buried and I've known
that for decades... I have always viewed funerals
and burials like I'm in some foreign land and I'm just
a fly on the wall. When you view it this way, it's
almost an honor being allowed to be part of it. That
being said...
-
- ...Greek Orthodox
is intense. Now, as I said, I don't
subscribe to any of it - but having been to certain
rituals in the last 15 years (since the last Greek
Orthodox funeral) the sheer pagentry of it. It really
feels like I was in Africa and sitting in on some
tribe who adorned their elders with colorful costumes
and chanted to the heavens. I mean, that's
exactly what it was. But since I used to go to a
catholic high school I grew pretty accostomed to it.
I am so far removed now I had to remember to
close my jaw.
-
- AND AGAIN,
THIS ISN'T A JUDGEMENT. I'm sure
everyone wonders why the hell I do The Journey as
therapy, ya know? I am in NO WAY saying what is
right and wrong here... but for whatever reason this
realllllllly struck me. I am an alien. I am
so out of touch with so many people. It's
jarring.

- I was happy to
support their process. I hope my presence was seen in
that light. Loved that man, heartbroken my children
couldn't know him. Something I talked of the last time
I saw him:
-
 -
- Fuck
COVID man. Lost a pretty crucial couple of years.
As I said before, Goodnight, Papou. You were a
legend.
