The Meaning of Life (Revealed)

I guess something big came to me in the shower today. Actually it was something that I already knew for a long time. Wanna know the meaning of life?

Here's the secret: There is no "meaning of life." All these people constantly talking about it have no clue what it even means. And do they really think they'll find an answer? Look, every complicated decision has pros and cons. You have to make choices in life, and by making choices, you'll choose to miss out on some things. We only have so many years, and they're best spent living in the moment. So don't waste your time asking stupid questions like, "what's the point of all this?" There is no point! It's really not such a bad thing. And I believe that you'll be a step ahead of everyone else by knowing that there is no answer to search for. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for learning and searching and growing. But I won't kid myself into thinking that there is an answer to every question that our minds can create.

Fraternity Life

I visited the White House a few weeks ago, and I had a wonderful time. But one thing struck me afterwords as I began to analyze my visit. The White House is really a giant fraternity. Consider this:

• People come and go, but the furniture remains.
• Lots of parties, gatherings, and dinners.
• Everyone knows that their time in the house is limited and long after they're gone, the place will continue to function without them.
  
• It's mostly about who you know.
• It's all political.

I could easily go on, but I'm curious to hear some of the ones that you guys come up with. Ciao.

Independence Day

I had a nice fourth of July weekend. I left for Beaver Lake in Garfield, Arkansas on Friday evening. A few of my friends from undergrad were there and we all had a great time. We spent our time eating, wakeboarding, tubing, drinking, listening to music, talking about life, politics, money and women. I slept like a ton of bricks (what a stupid expression) last night. All that time on the water and in the sun can take a toll on your body. ..

It was nice to get back to work today. I love taking vacations, and its really nice when you feel refreshed when you walk back into work the next day. I can’t believe that my summer break is already more than half over. Time is passing so quickly right now. Is that the wind rushing by my ears or do I hear the voices again?
