You know, everybody talks about the meaning of life like it's something important. WELL WHAT THE FUCK IS IT? It can't be too hard. Napster used to say they had it in their FAQ, but I never found it there... Anybody got any idea?
Yes, I know this is a completely useless post. You don't like it, go to hell. |

I'm probably the furthest thing from intelligent possible, but here's my take on the meaning of life...
Find something you're good at, make sure you do it as much as possible. Thus, you will enjoy what you do everyday and life will be good...try not to think about the bad shit. That's the meaning of life, to make yourself as happy as you can be and enjoy doing it. **Please note, if the thing you're good at and you enjoy doing is life threatening, I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to you in your attempts to make yourself happy. ![]() ------------------ "Beliefs Are Dangerous.

That question is far too easy. Here's the answer:
1. Biology. a. The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism. b. The characteristic state or condition of a living organism. 2. Living organisms considered as a group: plant life; marine life. 3. A living being, especially a person: an earthquake that claimed hundreds of lives. 4. The physical, mental, and spiritual experiences that constitute existence: the artistic life of a writer. 5. a. The interval of time between birth and death: She led a good, long life. b. The interval of time between one's birth and the present: has had hay fever all his life. c. A particular segment of one's life: my adolescent life. d. The period from an occurrence until death: elected for life; paralyzed for life. e. Slang. A sentence of imprisonment lasting till death. 6. The time for which something exists or functions: the useful life of a car. 7. A spiritual state regarded as a transcending of corporeal death. 8. An account of a person's life; a biography. 9. Human existence, relationships, or activity in general: real life; everyday life. 10. a. A manner of living: led a hard life. b. A specific, characteristic manner of existence. Used of inanimate objects: "Great institutions seem to have a life of their own, independent of those who run them" (New Republic). c. The activities and interests of a particular area or realm: musical life in New York. 11. a. A source of vitality; an animating force: She's the life of the show. b. Liveliness or vitality; animation: a face that is full of life. 12. a. Something that actually exists regarded as a subject for an artist: painted from life. b. Actual environment or reality; nature. 13. Christian Science. God. Excerpted from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Third Edition © 1996 by Houghton Mifflin Company.

The meaning of life is just to survive another f**king day without sucumbing to the seething mass of putrid cloying degenerate cultural excreta that gags its way down into our lungs... A last gasp of air before drowning in the liquified decompossing remains of some f**ked up political stunt...
Life has just taken the hint and f**ked off whilst we get on with the more important things like finding which sodding cola goes best with which limp pathetic burger... In truth life is going on quite happily without us. I'm sure we knew it's meaning once upon a time...now we vainly grasp at misplaced ethics and outdated morals... Yeah lets me nice to everyone...but oh, we can't possibly be nice to EVERYONE...I mean there's all those awful people who don't agree with us and oh look someone who wants to do something different from us...my god lets burn the infedels!!! but we're decent people really? We go to church every sunday... we give to charity... we're just trying to make our mark on the world...Urghhh Bitch no. 2. Oops...erm..I'm a happy person really!!! look see?? you DO see don't you??? Happy Happy Joy Joy...boing boing...phweee.... -blip- -gurgle-... urgh. Mule. Edit - Oops..sorry for being so heavy... it's just darn hot here today..and I've got far to much time on my hands whilst waiting for my work permit...sigh... whistling in the dark...

Yeah, I noticed that it's two pages, too. Kewl. The reason you're the only mod for this forum is because you're so special.

Yeah, they're pretty good at bitchin'. You're pretty good at it, too. I'd like to think that I'm good at bitchin', but I'm not sure. Let me give it a try:
[bitch] GODDAMNIT! I'M FUCKING PISSED! MY TRUCK GOT A FLAT! MY MOTHERBOARD MELTED! MY GIRLFRIEND SMOKES CRACK! MY FAVORITE CD GOT SCRATCHED UP! I HAVEN'T HAD SEX YET! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

Hm. Never thought of myself (well, not since about three years ago, anyway), yourself, or Radioactive Man as being highly experienced in the art of bitching.

See if it goes above 80 I just melt into the ground...how can you stand it?

Oh well, my school life wasn't so bad..I mean I did have a BMX so the 1 mile ride across desolate moorland in the howling winds and seething rain was not to bad... I even kept a few layers of skin... this is everyones cue for mass outgivings of sympathy??? what no??

From Scotland, huh? Pretty spiffy. I used to live in Portland, but not that Portland. I used to live in Portland, Oregon, which is 'bout 3000 miles away from there.
I would love to have temperatures as low as it is there. The heat is almost unbearable here, but I've adapted to it. For every minute that I spend in the sun, my body ages five minutes. Needless to say, I don't spend a lot of time in the sun. Sometimes I have to crawl into the microwave to cool off. Hehe...------------------ Give me NyQuil and no one gets hurt! |

k, we all know 42, but what is 23? This is a thing I have not yet heard of.

Okay, coming back to my post, I thought, "Hey, i didn't put my version of the meaning of life!", so here it is:
Be happy. Simple, huh? I mean, deep down, that's our basic goal, being happy. We eat chocolate to be happy, listen to music to be happy (well, not always), fall in love to be happy, etc. The only problem is STAYING happy, which is pretty damn difficult for me right now. Knowing the meaning of life is nothing. Actually following it is another story. No, this is not a blatent way to get my post back to the top of the forum, though if it was, it's pretty effective, no?

Agrred- the meaning of life is to just enjoy the ride. In the words of the immortal Tolstoi- "If want to be happy- than be"
So sit down and relax! In California, it's hovering around 90... yuck. IN alaska it was 40 degrees and it was a perfect white overcast... that's my perfect optimum weather condition. Cold and gloomy... just like me ![]() Xerxes

I was born in California. I don't remember anything about it because my family moved to Portland, Oregon when I was really little. I moved to Mississippi when I was two. I wish I could live in (or at least visit) Alaska.
