lol

you sound like my best friend. she's dating some hippy chick from northern cali and all they do is sit around and ponder life and shit and eat granola.


she's a little TOO hippy though. we've been having some very interesting conversations though lately.


but in reference to the topic...yea. i am constantly observing people and life and society and wondering what it's all for. i don't seem like the type who would do that, but i always am.

the other night i was bored so i poured myself a glass of wine and created a word document with all of my short term and long terms goals mapped out. i like to plan things for some reason. i'm a visionary you could say.

the point to my existence?

i try to do as much as i can to improve myself as a person. so i always have a billion things going on at once, little projects and half-baked schemes and the like.. meh. i figure, you only live once, might as well try to experience as much as you can and get as much done as possible. in the future i plan on doing a lot of travelling. perhaps when i'm old and can't wipe my own ass i can look back with satisfaction and think, "yeah i did a lot of cool shit back in the day.." i guess i'm a selfish prick like that.

i guess you could say that i realize we won't live forever, and the period of time when we're young and still able to fully enjoy life (without being held back by the physical difficulties of old age) should be spent appreciating it as much as possible..

what i'm having difficulties with nowadays is deciding what i should do for a career. i'm not a big fan of.. working. i've worked full-time since i was 18, and uhhh.. i don't like it. i dunno.

i hate to admit it, but i've done the same thing before. i'm actually crossing shit off the list.. go figure. i don't think it's a bad thing necessarily. i just like organization..

to slylee and omega

very strange but i was thinking about this yesterday too. i came across an article a year or two ago and it said people who write out goals are more likely to ACHIEVE those goals. so writing down goals are a good thing...i need to make a list of exactly what i want to accomplish.

*jots down "sex with jessica alba* in notepad

interesting find though. honestly i'm a firm believer in the "you can do whatever you want, as long as you work hard enough at it" mentality, obviously within reason. horatio alger myth i guess. so far it's worked out for me though.

Originally posted by RJT I didn't read through the whole thread, but from what I did read, this seems like a good place to post something I've been meaning to for a bit. I think ultimate satisfaction in life is returning back to that which gave rise to us. So in that sense, when I become food for worms (or more likely, a tree), it will be one of the most satiisfactory experiences of my life - not because my life is over, but because in many ways I'm returning to that which is most fundamental. /random.

I think of this too. In a way, it's like redefining who (or rather what) you are in such a way that makes you immortal. What we are is a marriage of atoms and energy patterns. Those atoms were part of something else before they became a part of you (the food you eat), and when you die, they'll become a part of something else again. The energy that constitutes your consciousness comes from somewhere, and it's always transfered into something else. So in that sense, we never cease to exist, in death, we're only redefined and redistributed across other entities.

me too. i printed out my goals and taped them to my bathroom mirror and yea, i've been crossing them off too. i even added a couple of dumb things that i was able to cross off immediately so i felt a sense of accomplishment. lol

i just felt like lately i have too many things that i need to get done and i kept forgetting things here and there, so finally i was like, "screw this, i need to write this shit down" and then that turned into a big goal writing session.

and i definitely believe that anyone can do anything if they put their mind to it as well.

like when i went to Barnes & Noble the other night, i was talking to my friend and i was like, "do you know how smart i would be if i read each and every book in this store?" if i really wanted to do that, i could. i'm not even a big reader, but that reason alone is why i love going to bookstores and being around lots of books. just being surrounded by knowledge makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

or was it the other way around evil temptations constantly surround clog up your thought process
shows no progress like lengends of the monsters they claim to exist in lochness
rise up from the shadows of your own regrets and darkness
escape, let go of the devils with human features that seduce and appear harmless..
time to climb up the bottomless well that lead straight to hell
vicious cycles and endless trails only lead your soul to sell..
whats a souless body floating the earth whats it all worth ?
you find out at your demise notice when the dove cries but whos lookin in my eyes and tellin lies..
