I don't remember, I don't think I gave him enough attention in one of his threads or something.

You're not special, you're just you.

That's the answer to all your questions.

So, what's it like to be an older me?

I guess I should tell you everything I experience, when I experienced it, and why I experienced it... then maybe you could see if you relate, and if you're older and/or you have experienced things that I wish to experience then maybe you could give me insight into it all.

Maybe I'm crazy. Can't kill myself, but it's hard to find purpose.

I think a lot of those movies where the characters are struggling to find some kind of meaning to their life or are looking for some kind of purpose in it all, but they just haven't yet... they're dealing with something else than what I think of. Usually I think of it in the logical sense like, what's the point of life with entropy, endless universe expansion(inevitable ruin of everything), and no afterlife... It jut seems so meaningless since there is no such thing as meaning if there is no god. (Which there isn't) And I doubt the characters in movies who deal with "what am I going to do" type situations in the grander scheme of life are not really dealing with those kinds of questions, but maybe they are... I just doubt it though.

My kind of reference on that is Lost in Translation where Scarlett is all like, "wtf do I do" and tries to figure it all out... but like fails I guess and is all like, "shit, this sux... and marriage blows, but let's get high with Bob." So, yeah. Damn. Idk, I just doubt she was dealing with the kinds of issues I think about when I think "what am I going to do." She goes to temples and shit in order to feel something, but that's just not even close... because that allows some kind of superstition or illogical reasoning... It's just not the same at all, so I figure she's not an ultra rational person.. I mean, so rational it feels (such a loaded word) like it dehumanizes everything because yeah...

damn, it's late. This is what happens when you wake up in the middle of the night(not even sure if I ever fell asleep to be honest), fap, and then can't sleep.

Sigh...

Go worship some fruit loops.

What hurts my head the most is that there is some girl out there equally or more fail that will porocreate with you. Darwin was completely wrong about strong survive.....

That's not really how evolution works anyway... I don't know everything Darwin said, but I am sure he said more than just the strongest survive.

Survival of the sufficient would be a better catch phrase.

Anyway, keep a stiff upper lip, keep your chin up, your feet firmly planted, and reach for the stars.
