Inspiration I s'ppose.

I have been inspired by the post two posts ago about the meaning of life to write a post of my own about the meaning of life (phew).
I believe the meaning of life is not just science related, though that is a big part of it. Science is a big part of everything. The deep stuff I'm thinking and about to type wouldn't exist without science. Nothing would.

I believe the meaning of life is to live it. To see everything we can in our time, do everything we ever wanted to do. The meaning of life is not just that though; it is also to enjoy it while you can. To not regret anything, regret only slows you down, makes you over think what was not meaning to be over-thought.

Alright, this sounds really corny. I'm only going to go on a little bit longer.

I spent time thinking about what the point of growing up is (I needed to for an ELA thing), and I ended up concluding that the point of growing up is mystery. Growing up would be no fun at all (it's not that fun to begin with) if we knew how everything would work out for us in the end, knew who we would turn out to be. The point of growing up is to try to fit together the puzzle pieces that make up our lives...


Okay. Ima stop now.

secrets

from this point on I speak only in code
Vell 'ere are my fur favorite quotes

"float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" - Mohammed Ghandi

"a lilly by any other name smells just as sweet" - William Shakespere

"Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it." - Joe franklin

"Don't stop believing" - journey ( a song that would have made Erato, the muse of epic poetry cry)

I know four of you
from Secrets

P.S.
LLEGar

why...

why
is the sky blue
our hearts beating
why
do our hopes and dreams exist
what is the meaning of life?

because
It has to do with reflection off water (I think...)
because we wold die without continuous oxygen flow to our body
because
we don't want to acknowledge the bleak truth
To further the existence of our species to make sure humanity does not go extinct to further our genes, whichever you prefer

I am home, on saturday
bored
so here is a haiku

bored you are this day
with listless life tired
rocks pushing on me

'snap snap snap'

I loathe haiku.
So why did I just write one? If anyone is interested in a philosophy or debate section on the blog please comment.

Post Title

"Things ABout Right Now" part 3.
Time: 5:36
I'm: sick. And annoyed by the rubber bands between my teeth that are there because of my braces.
thinking about/wondering: why my 5 year old sister is pointing a letter opener she thinks is a knife at my brother.
and: if I should try to stop this
or: if my brother will beat up my sister now..
I want to: stop a fight
specifically: the one between my brother and sister
or: "Or" does not work in the situation, I'm just writing it because it is in the format for "Things about right now"
I should: be thinking about what homework I have due tomorrow
but: I don't want to.
now the time is: 5:42
because: instead of taking my usually three minutes to write the past lines, I was busy with two insane siblings.
now: I'm listening to my little sister mutter things under her breath
now: I'm petting my cat
now: I'm staring out the window meaningfully
because: that's how I roll
now: I'm hoping my brother doesn't make me spraypaint with him in the basement again
because: I almost passed out yesterday because of the fumes
and finally: I'm looking at the sky and realizing life is okay.


Okay I'm done with the deep stuff, now gimme some cake.
No just kidding.
