"There is no transcendental signified."-Derida. That is to say, there is no ultimate TRUTH in all caps. There's not even Truth with a capitol t, just small conditional baby truths whose validity is dependent on outside factors. Happiness. What the hell is it? Well at this point in life, I'm inclined to agree that its Ninja Gaiden. Earlier it was Ninja Turtles, and some point later it might be wine and opera (doubt it). So I guess I take a pseudo-existentialist view of things. That change is constant and truth is transient. I can't ever say anything definate on life. "Life is about..." All I can ever say with any kind of certainty is: Life is... So life has no inherent meaning. So once we've deconstructed the world. Is life meaningless? Hell no. We can still apply meaning. Life means what I say it means, and that meaning is subject to change.

The only real goal in life is to just live.

Just to get out there and expierence it,
see things you haven't seen before, do things you've never done.
Video games and such are just an essential, you have to do things that you want to do.

I know this sounds kind of crazy but do things you've always wanted to do.
Don't let anything hold you back, i mean unless it's that you want to pull some GTA vice city.

I know there are things that you've always wanted to do, so start trying to achieve them.

Because, i've realized throughout the past month now that pondering about things like this is just a waste of time. It's just going to drag you down, and there's enough shit to drag you down in the world. All i can really say is try to live life.

I'm not even gonna pretend that I have some educated guess about the meaning of life. I just know that I like it. I already know I'm going to die someday, along with everyone else. but in the meantime, I'm doing what I like to do. I extremely enjoy the emotions of love and happiness that I have with Margaret (Sex ain't that bad either).

Granted, the meaning of life should be more than just being happy, but I don't know, so sorry I cannot give you any relief and or shed some light. Some might say that life needs to be fixed. Well with every solution, more problems will arise. Life will always be a balance of serenity, work, and death.

So perhaps life is just that life. And in life, the goal is to challenge yourself and explore your ownself. Life is to gain knowledge of yourself.

so yeah, there's my demented rambling for ya Teajae. Keep on rockin' you sexay thing ;)

Have you ever thought that maybe we're not meant to know why we're here, and can't possibly find out in this life? It's not good to overthink these kinds of questions, you will most certainly drive yourself crazy, and lose all touch with life

'Kay, I definitely can't give you any words of encouragement.
I just want to say that I'm in your boat.
I think when people get depressed and feel hopeless, that life doesn't mean anything.. it's when they're seeing the truth, undistracted by the day-to-day that keep normal people from remembering there really isn't a point.
Wish I could give you hope.. Sorry.
