a to do list after death

I took a minority literature course this semester and in one of the accounts that I was reading I found this funny and touching "to do list" after the writer dies, so thought would put it up. By the way the writer is gay and he is leaving these instructions for his partner:


1. Play Stevie Wonder’s “As” when
they’re wheeling my casket out. No
Cher, Celine Dion or Pet Shop Boys.

2. Cremate me; it’s cheaper. Do NOT
invite your friends, Treat and Jed, to
the reception. They drink too much
and they’re always cruising for a
three-way.

3. I want my corpse in a traditional
barong. Pick the one with the
geometric patterns not the ornate
lacy one that looks like cheap
lingerie.

4. Send my unpublished work to bigtime
publishers. DO NOT go with a
no-name biographer!

5. Fall in love again but not too soon or
I’ll Blair Witch your ass! When you
find the right guy, hold on to him.
Keep our rings in a safe place.
