Experiencing death.

I just wanted to pop in from an extended absence to say that this is a great thread. Keep the ideas rolling.
I've been struggling with a similar issue of late, primarily trying to come to terms with the fact that death could come at any moment, regardless of what might be taking place in my life at that time. It's been tempting to live life waiting for the end to come sometimes, but it's such a waste of it. Life is too full of good to ignore it all; do you ride a train without ever looking out the window? It's not about the destination, it's about the journey.
Considering that this thread has mostly been about the experience of not existing, however, my contribution bridges off a bit from that. It's a thought I've had as well, but at the moment there are too many great things I'm living for to be ready to ponder the end of this iteration of my existence. If it comes, then the game is up, but there is no reason to wait for the end of the game, and every reason to enjoy every moment of the game possible while it is in session.
If I could choose how I die, I would want to be killed instantly by a meteorite. That way, even if I had no real legacy to leave as a decent human being, it'd be news all over the world, with people saying in many languages, "Hey, did you hear about that guy who was killed by a meteorite?"
Best post in this thread, in my opinion.

Certainly the most willfully sentimental.
