An Australian often described as the world's oldest blogger at 108 died today.

This is something that has crossed my mind more than once. Not the age, but the last post you'd put on your blog. Suppose you knew that it was curtains in a while; what would you post on your blog ?

Awww thats such a sweet last entry she wrote.

I'd probably write something cheesy like 'Don't forget me..' or something equally egotistic like that.

  It is isnt it ?
  
  "Don't forget me ..." IS a bit cheesy if you dont mind me saying so. There's a good chance you can get a response that says "Good riddance" which is just awfully rude.

  haha will I be expecting a "Good riddance" from you then? I would write it for jokes though, no better way than to end with something sarcastic.
  So long suckers!!!!!!!

  "So long suckers" ... ahh thats a great line. Kind of part-Scorcese, part 1930's gangster era. That's something I could go with.

I'd probably use a story. I'm not sure what about yet, though. See how many of the things I'd discussed I could slip into it...

All I know for sure is the line I would end with.

"What is remembered will never truly die."

  True. Poetic and true.
  
  I write myself and I did consider writing a story for the last post I'd ever do. Wouldnt be as heart warming as yours though.

  Now that is good-cheesy!

  I'm flattered.
  
  That little line is one of the main principles behind... well, how I live my life, pretty much. Particularly how I interact and how I write. Try to remember those who do something for the world, try to be remembered, try to make sure those who matter are remembered.

I once posted a last blog post because I wasn't able to keep that blog going.... posted an awesome YouTube video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=j36vmAnqm_0

Well, it wasn't my final blog post. I am still alive and started another blog later on.
