Searching for Meaning: Reflection

What's the point to life if all it is is one disappointment after another, one forsaken expectation after another, pain after pain after pain without relent? All we do is run around performing meaningless tasks for even more meaningless people. What's the point?

Well, if you're looking for an answer, I don't have one. None of us do, and those that say they do are full of it. But when it comes right down to it, why should we care anyways? Why spend all our time trying to find out why when really we should be out living it? Because it's easier. Emotions come with both the good and the bad. You can't have one without the other. We cannot feel happy if we don't sometimes feel sad. It's not to say that we'd know the difference, but we do so it matters. None of us have the answer to life and I'd bet that none of us ever will. So quit worrying about it.

Life is inconsequential if you don't get out and live it. If you haven't, stop reading and get out there. There's far more to it than a computer screen and someone else's opinions.

My Favorite / My Least Favorite

My favorite color is green because it is the color of new life. I enjoy food, granted I used to enjoy a greater variety, nevertheless it is one of my favorite things. Bad food is the sign of a bad day. So, DC food... Haha! I love music. But not all music. Primarily rock, classic hard rock, and classic metal. Of course, there are exceptions. My favorite song/performance of all time is Queen's "Somebody to Love" from On Fire Live at the Bowl (1982). It's just a profound performance and an even more phenomenal back story. I've pasted a copy of it below. Feeling is what matters to me in music. It's hard to explain but the song, performance, or artist has to have feeling. It has to embrace you. You have to be able to sink into it. It has to make your skin crawl. It has to be almost sexual. That kind of connection. A primitive, almost supranatural closeness. My favorite TV show is The Simpsons singularly because of the inclusivity and profoundly lib...
