Just what the fuck ARE you doing with your life?

What is your purpose? What do you feel you need to achieve? Take a moment and see if you can sum it up in one short sentence. Now take another moment and make sure there isn't anything else you'd like to add. One short sentence. If you can't sum up what it is you want to be in one short sentence then perhaps you simply don't know.

If you took a few minutes to read the last paragraph and are now coming up with reasons why I'm wrong (lie all you want, you don't know wtf you're doing); what is it that keeps you moving? If you don't know where you're going, why are you going anywhere at all? To do what: put yourself through school, pay the mortgage, have kids, drive a nice car, brag at your high school reunion? Sounds like a fantastic recipe for a midlife crisis.

To those of you, the few, wonderful you, who answered "Me", pat yourselves on the back and go have a cookie. See me later for a complimentary blowjay because you are single-handedly keeping the human spirit alive, and I can dig that.

The best thing any one of us can do for the rest of civilization is simply to be us. You be you, I'll be me. If your you just so happens to be dead under a bus, I guess that's how the cards were dealt. But you better damn well do every single thing possible to make sure you were all the you you could be, so when that bus makes you into roadpie everybody will know who to mourn.

As for those too weak to be themselves... it was nice not knowing you.
