"i thing you're site is very sickining" [sic]

This was the subject line in an empty email I received last month. After gettin' past the spellin' an' grammatical  errors, I was a little confused. What did this person find sickening? My tribute to funeral cars? My enjoyment in things that're a little bit twisted? A page of post mortem pix? OK, that last one even creeps me out a little. I emailed the author askin' for clarification, but didn't get a reply. So here I sit, still confused. 

What's more natural than death? If ya think 'bout it, birth isn't assured but death is.

As a society, Americans have a fear and aversion to death. We fear it, but believe it always happens to the other guy. Not us. We believe we're immortal. We believe there's always tomorrow. The old joke goes, "Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow." Only we don't believe it's a joke. We accept it as a way of life.

Well, I like to know that death is always a possibility (I've come too close too many times). If I remember that death can come at any time, I appreciate each day an' take risks that helps me grow an' live life to the fullest. Death isn't bad, it's a motivator. Respect death, don't fear it.

An' as for  funeral cars...

I love the classic an' elegant look of these bitchin' giants! So they're used to carry bodies. So what! There are Chevys, Fords, an' Volvos out there right now carryin' murderers, rapists, an' worse! An' no one's afraid to drive them! They're cars. They're not bad, evil, or even creepy. Just cars...

Just totally bitchin' cars! An' I dig the hell out of 'em!

Am I overreactin' to a little negative feedback? No, I don't think so. 'Cause I don't feel this was constructive, just insultin'. If ya don't like this site, don't visit it. I know not everyone digs the things I do, an' I don't expect 'em too! To each there own, right? But if ya dig hearses, hot rods, horror, an' Halloween...welcome!
