How Does He Do It?
As regular readers of this site know, I get most of my news from Moby’s blog. Man, that guy can just cut through all the filler and spin, and give me the news the way it’s meant to be read: in all lowercase letters. Over time, I’ve grown accustomed to getting my daily dose of the world from Ol’ Moby, but the guy managed to surprise even me with his latest journal entry.(Regular readers of Moby’s know that he dislikes the word “blog.”)
Anyway, Moby’s latest entry deals with death. “Whoa,” you’re probably saying. “That’s a heavy topic. I don’t know if I can handle reading about something like that.” Well, don’t worry, because Moby handles it with his usual grace and aplomb. He asks each of us to think about how we would like to look back on our lives when we’re on our death beds at some point in the future. Moby wants to know if you want to look back on your life with contentment and happiness, or regret and sadness. I know which one I picked, but it took quite a bit of soul-searching, I must say. So if you feel like you’re ready to be enlightened by a man who may very well turn out to be our generation’s Martin Luther King, Jr., head on over to his site and pick up some knowledge.
Kudos to you, Moby. You took a dark subject like human mortality, and from it, spun gold. You also mispelled the word “germane” and used the word “arbitrary” incorrectly. Whatever, I still love you.
