KORAK 257

1955--?????

All welcome to Korak's last party and will be attending if only to hold an ash tray to be somewhat functional. LIVE BAND, FOOD and other activities, such as... life size Pinatas dressed as police officers for the wacking.

If anyone believing to find financial gain attending my funeral will leave very disappointed because...I spent half my money on booze, young wild women, and gambling--the other half I wasted.

Korak also wanted to say...

I have spent a lot of time on top of the grass, being on the right side-- adding to that Dash or little line between those two dates on my grave stone. Such a small fine line to carry so many emotions, dreams and hopes throughout an entire lifetime. A sad thing for one to be forgotten but sadder to think of all one's good and great deeds will soon be forgotten. I wonder if it was all worth it in life creating my "Little Line" to be good and honoring GOD's word. Well, if there is a living GOD...Then I have done well in my life-time. And if there is not- Then I have still done well for I left this world being a good man. I guess I win....

Now for the losers...like Tim Garret and Bill Eslet whom ripped me off for over ten thousand dollars. I pray for you with my last and final dying breath. I pray to my Lord...

that the IRS audits the both for the last ten years, that your brakes go out traveling down a steep hill or a meteorite crashing into your heads while your wives are in the midst of leaving you guys for your best friend-whether dog or man. I PRAY!

The service will be held outside the Nic Nac Grocery Store. 1134 Three Rivers Road, Mississippi .

DIRECTIONS-- a cigarette burning half-way on Hogger Road, Turn right on a dirt road until spotting Mr. Henry's cow and hang to the left of the ditch before turning and ride squirrel road for another half cigarette and then look for a dried up creek...the store will be on your left by a dead possum.

Please bring your own Dixie Cups.

This is funny Korak but I sense a deeper level of sadness and uncertainty about whether you have wasted some of your time believing and doing good to and for others. Don't let those thoughts in, dear friend. You have been a kind and gentle man, caring and standing up for others and having courage to face and walk through some things many others could not weather and still press on. You have loved the Lord, listened to Him, forgiven and moved on. When the time comes for an obit God will know more than all others that your "dash" was pleasing to Him and good for others.

I have been missing hearing from you, my friend. Let me know what all has been happening with you! Alice

Korak 257 May 13, 2012, 6:59pm UTC

Korak, you had some great lines in this, especially the last, "Please bring your own Dixie Cups". Man, that one says it all.

Korak 257 May 13, 2012, 7:02pm UTC

I happen to know your a good person. Maybe a year ago I wrote a post on here about my depression. You responded with good advice and concern.

mary v. Apr 29, 2012, 8:05pm UTC

You don't even know me but I could tell you cared. You have a lot to offer, you may not remember me but I will always remember you. : )

Korak 257 May 13, 2012, 7:04pm UTC

Yeah I like caring....fun to be good.

mary v. May 13, 2012, 7:21pm UTC

mary v. May 13, 2012, 7:23pm UTC

You may remember my brother was ill, he passed away in January.

Korak 257 May 27, 2012, 12:28am UTC

OH MY....I am so sorry for I have been working 35 days straight without a day off...my mind is tired my friend....If I have forgotten I am so sorry. i lost a friend on the job a couple weeks ago ....losing a loved one is hard but it makes all a reality check because we all are going to die...... it is sad to lose someone that was there when so young....God Bless you.

mary v. May 27, 2012, 12:36am UTC

Hi Korak, You need some rest for sure. No need to apologize, and I'm very sorry about your friend.

Korak 257 Jun 10, 2012, 4:59pm UTC

A strange event for sure with reality check. I used to go wide open and still do ...only longer to recover before the next day begins. Almost over tho. Thanks for saying....

Korak 257 May 13, 2012, 7:05pm UTC

Pam Brittain Apr 30, 2012, 9:22pm UTC

Great meet to the challenge. There have been a few of your friends that wondered where you've been.

Korak 257 May 13, 2012, 7:06pm UTC

working...working and working....and working out of atate.

Pam Brittain May 13, 2012, 7:25pm UTC

FYI, a few of your friends asked about you. Looks like you're very much appreciated. On the other hand, work means paying the bills.

Korak 257 Jun 10, 2012, 4:56pm UTC

yes....auuugh, my body is weary but soon they will be close to finishing, freeing me up until the canada job.

Gary (The Eclectic) Timothy Apr 30, 2012, 11:17pm UTC

LOL! Great stuff, my friend! What a wonderful take on that little dashed line of our lives. That would have never occurred to me, but you're right - so much life represented by a simple little line between birth and death. :-)

Korak 257 May 13, 2012, 7:08pm UTC

My friend welcome home....We read the dates with a faded line or dash with so much life represented by such a little line. So much life are in those little lines...........

Gary (The Eclectic) Timothy May 13, 2012, 11:35pm UTC

Indeed you are correct! :-)

Korak 257 May 27, 2012, 12:30am UTC

Gary...I think outside the box so to speak. Such a line of hopes and dreams....need portal to red bubbles.

Gary (The Eclectic) Timothy May 27, 2012, 2:24pm UTC

I've pinged you with the link to RedBubble. :-)

You know, there are some who would hurry you along for a party like that! Oh, and I have a couple of folks I'd like you to pray for.

Korak 257 May 13, 2012, 7:09pm UTC

I would love too....
Hi, How are you?

Joann B. May 13, 2012, 8:28pm UTC

Hi, I've been out buying dixie cups.

Korak 257 May 27, 2012, 12:31am UTC

Hey...wait now ! I like to think I have a little while before exiting this world.lol !

Joann B. May 27, 2012, 7:29am UTC

So does that mean the party's off?

Korak 257 Jun 3, 2012, 11:22pm UTC

With such great directions who could go wrong?

Korak 257 May 13, 2012, 7:10pm UTC

Yeah but once i forgot the directions only to turn right because of a crossing racoon.

Angie O. May 5, 2012, 8:49pm UTC

You would have the last word here. Funny with a bit of a sad note. Good writing.

Korak 257 May 13, 2012, 7:12pm UTC

That was what I wanted to do in this writ to bring out both emotions....like all deaths those two emotions will be felt, maybe not back to back but they will be felt.

Alice G. May 13, 2012, 8:05pm UTC

Well, heres to "------------'ing" my friend! And besides, if ever the time comes you have tons of friends so you needn't write your own obit! We can all do a serial write just for you! Take care and don't go so long next time-we thought maybe you had been kidnapped or abducted or worse run off with the meter maid!!

Korak 257 May 27, 2012, 12:33am UTC

lol....I have been working many days without a break...10 to 12 hour days for months. I got to go home for a week...pooof back for a 35 days straight without a break...auuugh ! I get the next 2 days off....so I will or shall return.

Alice G. May 27, 2012, 12:57am UTC

So good to hear from you and know you are okay. Give us a short post now and then so we don't worry about you.! Take care.

Korak 257 Jun 3, 2012, 11:23pm UTC

alright.........................kool.

Alice G. Jun 3, 2012, 11:35pm UTC

Korak, we are going to hold you to that. You have a lot of friends here on Gather who do worry about you when we hear nothing. Just go online and send us a postcard type message: I'm alive or not if you are not. Okay?

Korak 257 Jun 10, 2012, 5:00pm UTC

kool...........

Maybe your next story can be about Korak resurrected and all the bad guys were gone out of his life forever.

Korak 257 Mar 10, 2013, 10:15am UTC

lol....thank you for letting me know. I have to run back at times to see if anyone commented. I have died many times in this life only to be resurrected tro stand tall another day. there will always be villians whether im here or not...where do these kids come from? When I ffinally leave, another will take my place. I am old, bones creaking, with still a desire to help anyone in need. discovering so many take advantage with me cutting loose. No one ever helped me on earth, finding a way to survive. Not many toys but happy..........THANK YOU FOR READING.
