The Blog of Death is an obituary blog that features well written obituaries on people that have led interesting lives. The entries are really fascinating and make good short stories. Hopefully when I die I’ll have accomplished enough cool things to fill up 3 paragraphs.
“Some people believe writing obituaries is a morbid job, but in truth, only one line deals with death. The rest of the story focuses on the amazing lives people lead.
Whenever I hear about a death, I ask myself, “Did they live with passion? Did they accomplish great things? Did they touch other people’s lives in a positive or negative way? Did they contribute something to the world that was previously missing?” Then, I simply try to tell a good story using the facts at my disposal.”
A few of my favorites:
Sandy Allen, the tallest woman in the world. The last interview question asked on the video bummed me out.
Harvey Weinstein, a tuxedo manufacturer who was once kidnapped and buried alive.
Wayne Schenk, a New York man who won the lottery but was unable to use his winnings to save his life.
