I'm tired of taking the winged bus. Try thinking of someone else for a change, dude...

You're going to die eventually. Once you're dead, you'll remain dead for eternity. So you're going to have plenty of time to be dead. You've only got a few years to see what it's like being alive. Might as well use them.

Of course. Some might wonder why it is that all mailmen are also postmen. After all, shouldn't there be some people who had become mailmen before the process of becoming postmen was made mandatory? The answer to that question is as simple as it is devilish, the Law of Postgendered Mail Delivery was enforced ... ex post facto.

If that is your outlook, your life really does mean nothing. In which case, make it your duty to make your life mean something. You can, I promise. Do what I do, join a political movement and piss the government off.

You mean the crime drama with Damian Lewis? I don't see why you should continue watching that, they finished it after the second season. Bad mistake.

The purpose of life is to collect life experiences. If there's an afterlife, I suspect they are the only things you bring with you. If there isn't an afterlife, then there really isn't anything else to do anyway is there? Might as well keep collecting.

I'm still counting on that sliver of hope that I'll take over the world before I die -- which won't be until after 100.

But your life does! Every choice you make alters the life of someone else. The difference between you posting this and not posting this has already affected the lives of many people, however minute the effect. I'm not saying this is bad but that's just how it is. If you think about the chain of events, your actions now could affect many people maybe a thousand years later. It may be just coincidence but many things happen from coincidence that will change the future.

What I'm saying is to follow your judgment and instincts. I think that everyone in the world is a prerequisite to the future, so why not make it positive? :lol:
