What Color is Nothing?

I've only told a handful of people in my life that I'd love to one day be a fireman. Their response is usually the same:

"But firemen have to jump into burning buildings-- What if you die?"

What if I do? By now, I'd like to think I've acquired a zen philosophy of when it comes to whatever's afterlife.

We're all going to go at some point. Doesn't matter whether it's from a delicious lighting bolt, or forgetting to take your old people medicine.

I like to be social, so if Heaven's real, I'd like to fly up there and hang out with Hunter S. Thompson and Kurt Vonnegut.

I also appreciate peace and quiet, so if death is an empty abyss of nothingness, that'd be alright.

And if Hell exists, save me a seat, would you? I don't wanna be the only guy standing up at the party.
