People always ask “What is the meaning of life”   That of course assumes life actually has a meaning.  That can sound harsh, of course, but no one said life had a meaning. I mean does a plant ask “why am I here.” Does an amoeba?  Who knows maybe they do.  The fact is you’re here, and you being here is actually an extremely below-average thing and at the same time the results of probably millions of freaking miracles.  I mean if your great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was two minutes late he never would have met that woman, and you would never have been here.  Try to replicate that string of chances that ended up with you being here.  So here you are. A freaking miracle.  So after all that, you’re watching a porn video?  Really?  That’s the best you can do.  Well, I can tell you watching a porn video, is probably not the meaning of life. 

I guess in the end, the meaning of life, is whatever you make it. I do know that YOU can totally waste this opportunity.  There is life all around you, are you living yours?
