I seems like I'm a bit out of the ordinary, but I don't think about death or my death much unless forcibly confronted with it (someone close to me dies, reading a horrifying story online, etc.)

I've got too much living to do to die, and I certainly do not want to think about my death while living. I don't think about not thinking about it - I just don't think about it. It's just not a part of my daily life.

One of my all-time favorite movies is Harold and Maude. If you haven't seen it, go out and watch it right now. It touches on a lot of subjects - coming of age, love, wealth, death, etc. The soundtrack is amazing and the psychiatrist has some fantastic quotes that will probably make you chuckle.

    "Harold: I sure am picking up on vices.

    Maude: Vice, virtue. It's best not to be too moral. You cheat yourself out of too much life. Aim above morality. If you apply that to life, then you're bound to live it fully.”
