"art is as real as life itself, and, as life itself, it has no goal or meaning; it exists because it exists."

lev lunts, an early 19th century Russian revolutionary. found it quoted in the introduction of one of the books i borrowed from cody, a Russian dystopian novel (We).

It's simply a matter of timing Kes. You being bored because your life, for th most part, is now working out. And as for the meaning of life, to coin Douglas Adam's "I pick 42 because it was artbitrary. Randomly out of thin air. Is it my fault that I was right?" (one of his last interviews before the movie realy got hopping)

to not be in a crappy 3rd world country.. but being there does give some insight on what you leave behind... maybe you'd like to visit?
