What a
touted question. People make this one thing into such a huge deal. It’s so
important, people spend they’re whole life just trying to find out why they’re
living it! Seems kinda silly to me, doncha think? Why would life have a meaning
of its own? Life’s just chilling, man, it’s not driven by anything! There’s no
guy anywhere running the Life Inc. ™ corporation and we’re all his employees
out to spend our hard earned life on his wishes. I waited literally billions of years to get this one tiny
little life and now I’m supposed to just hop along with whatever it means? Screw
that! But thank Glob and Randy Newman that’s not how this shindig works. Life on
its own doesn’t mean anything more than a book without a writer. It’s fuckin
blank, man. I like to think of life as like a huge bowl and I at the meaning
buffet just pickin out all the goodin’s like enjoying the incredibly short
moment I get to have sentience (before I go back to being food for some of life’s
least appetizing creatures!) instead of some of the crazier ones like giving
all glory to the hypnotoad. I tried it once. Not as fun as you might expect,
but a great group of people. We used to have knitting club on Thursday nights
and gab about all juicy gossip of who gave how much glory and the hypnotoad’s
need for more, but I digress. See the beauty of the meaning of life is you get
to make it as you go along so worrying about what “the meaning of life is” is the
meaning of life! Well can be. But it can be anything else! And as long as it
doesn’t too harshly impact the other peeps on Earth’s face I’m totally cool wit
dat! As for me, I’m just coastin through tryin to soak up all the great time
and get the most outta life experientially and creatively. And to glorify the
hypnotoad. In all his immense glory.
The soft cheese fears not the fast approaching knife, for
the soft cheese has known its fate all along and thus has had much time to
contemplate and accept its impending doom. The soft cheese, henceforth referred
to as Gary, had lived a full life. He laughed with friends, enjoyed wine
tastings, even went to the moon! Gary had seen all he wanted to see and done
all he wanted to do. At his age, Gary was already approaching stage 3 mold and
didn’t have much longer to live. In an act of selflessness and a testament to
Gary’s love for others, he donated his own flesh to feed starving children all
around the world. Gary has achieved the inner peace he had longed to reach as a
younger wedge and, having completed his list of life goals written in the 4th
grade (ranging from eating ice cream for dinner to wrestling in a tag team
match with Lou Ferrigno against the Nature Boy Ric Flair and Elisabeth the
Queen of England), faced his death with the same determined smile he wore every
day of his life. Gary was an inspiration to us all.
