But why can't I have good quotes to be remembered by? If I died tomorrow, no one would have inspirational stories of how I would often say something inspirational or say this one line that everyone adored. Maybe something along the lines of "Don't worry about it, el tigre. Keep your chin up and give em' hell." (Nonsensical nicknames seem to make motivational phrases more endearing) I need some sort of amazing phrase that is normally reserved for wise dads, grandpas, influential uncles or sagely neighbors. Ideally, this sort of phrase would be on a banner or tombstone next to an equally inspiring picture of me. Memorial pictures shouldn't look like audition headshots. Good memorial photos are of someone confidently standing in front of a jet/car/heavy machinery, or someone holding a shovel, or maybe even casually tucking a helmet or ball under their armpit in one arm and a strong thumbs up with the other. You have to look like it was taken in the midst of hard work and then in the throes of photographic passion, you make the perfect pose for future generations to admire.
(Other acceptable poses include: leaning up against a fence/wall, confident arm fold with smug smile, shirtless with sunglasses in sunshine)
I can only hope to achieve such inspirational greatness via confident photographic posing or broad and empty inspirational rhetoric.
