Twisted Perception.

Despite its title, I like to think the following lines are realistic and not twisted at all. I like the movie 'The Book Thief' mainly because its told from Death's point of view, in this case Death being used as a noun.
To use the words of Donald Rumsfeld I consider death as a "Known unkown". Every morning I stare at the ray of sunlight shining into my room and see a new day. But where others see new opportunities , I see new possibilities of the ways I will die. Out there somewhere Death is rolling his dice to find out when and how to kill me, maybe by choking me with a grain of rice, be tripped by a banana leaf and break my neck, get hit by a falling meteorite.... The possibilities are endless, and every day I climb to my bed I laugh at what a looser Death is. This may seem as a twisted perception but its only because as human beings we like to mask this harsh reality with the fictional thought of an afterlife. Let us entertain this thought for a second and say there is an afterlife, what if there is nothing there but spiders, giant spiders kinda like the ones in The Desolation of Smaug. What then?We just end up being toys to some spiders and we all know that's no way to enjoy immortality. But I digress. Anyway I have been beating Death at this game for the last 21 years, yet I'm wise enough not to stretch my luck too far. We will all die someday so I'll drink and enjoy the company of women(I'm just kidding girls don't like me) its something about some social protocol I can't seem to grasp... Anyway when you wake up in the morning don't lie to yourself about new opportunities, look at it as another day to dodge Death. That mindset keeps you on your toes and trust me, you'll never feel more alive.
