....TItle sounds cheesy. might change it when ii come up with something more creative

There was a commercial before by the World wildlife foundation which I found to be a bit intellectually substandard. The commercial was about wildlife conservation. I don’t remember the exact words, so I will paraphrase: “It is perhaps the greatest question man has ever asked. We know that plankton exist to feed the whales, we know that zebra exist to feed the lions, we know that (insert species here) for (insert species here). What about us? What is our purpose?

I didn’t like the commercial for a variety of reasons. One, because it states that the inane question “what is our purpose” is the greatest question man has ever asked. Two, because it seems to assume that there is a universal purpose for why we are all here

From a lion’s perspective, a zebra’s purpose may be to satisfy its hunger. But from the zebra’s perspective, the purpose of its existence may be to get through life without satisfying the lion’s hunger. Purpose comes from either the lion’s or the zebra’s intent to achieve its own respective goals -Goals that are diametrically opposed to each other.

One may say that the purpose of fire is to give us warmth or to heat our food. But fire didn’t come into existence to serve man. Fire existed and then man found purpose for it. But that purpose only exists to those with minds to see benefit from fire. From fire’s perspective, it doesn’t care what man does to it. Fire itself has no intrinsic purpose for existence except for the subjective interpretations of purpose that man assigns to it.

Meaning is defined as the overall purpose of one’s existence. The claim that there is an overarching purpose for the existence of everyone or everything is a circular claim. The question “What is the meaning of life” is a question that proposes its own answer

Purpose requires intent, can only exist in minds that are capable of intent and is perspective relative. From a theistic standpoint, it’s a valid question since you may be of the belief that you were created by a mind that is capable of intent, for a purpose that it defined itself. It is valid to ponder what intentions your god had for creating you. Though I don’t see how you can get an answer unless you can ask him yourself.

However the question just doesn’t make sense in a secular forum because it presupposes true the assumption “purpose precedes existence”; That we were put here for a purpose that preceded our capability to define it and that the birds, lions, the whales and us are pawns fulfilling a purpose that was devised by a mind that is capable of intent –by asking such a question, you are already presupposing true the existence of a sentient creator

One of the most irksome questions that theists ask me is “If there is no god, how can our lives have meaning?”

Believers who can’t see meaning or purpose in life without god bother me. I just don't understand why some people can't grasp any concept of meaning or purpose without god. It seems like they’ve surrendered so much of their thinking process to their chosen deities that they’ve forgotten that purpose could also be defined from the first person perspective. They believe that they have a purpose, I believe that I have a purpose. The difference is that I don’t need other entities to define that purpose for me

It’s not just believers who misuse the word “meaning”. Some atheists claim that according to evolution, the meaning of man’s life is to spread his genes. I think that “meaning” is not the most appropriate word here. Evolution is a mindless process that is incapable of purposeful action thus it cannot ascribe meaning or have reason for anything that it “does”. Evolution gave us the capability and the motivation to procreate. Whether that will be the purpose of our existence will be determined by the individual who has the mind to conceive of purpose

The question “what is THE meaning of life” makes as much sense as “what is THE favorite color” which cannot be answered unless you have a reference point. For the question to have sense, you have to replace “THE” with “you” or “my”. So instead of asking: “What is the favorite color”, ask what is your/my favorite color

Instead of asking “what is the meaning of life”, ask: “what is the meaning of your life?” “What is the meaning of mine?”

I’m not here to make fun of you my dear reader, if you have anxiety problems. I’m usually into the habit of making fun of other people’s shortcomings or disabilities, but not this time… because, my dear reader,I also have anxiety problems. I suspect this may be a result of being bullied back when I was really small. I never got a chance to get back at my bullies. My current inability to locate the whereabouts of my bullies and pummel the sweet bejesus out of them is giving me chronic anxiety, I believe.

My anxiety problem is intermittent, meaning it’s not always there. But I always have to watch out, in case it decides to rear its ugly head

My anxiety problems are wreaking havoc on my dating life, which is practically nonexistent right now. I’ve courted a total of two girls in my entire lifetime. (The word ”courted” is being used very liberally here) The others, I just give them hints or flirt with them and hope that they would court me in return. But they never do. So I just wait and wait for them until they get snatched up by other guys

I've developed a few ways to cope with my anxiety problems. Here are some of them:

Be badass

If you’re badass people will respect you more. Whenever a stranger would ask me an inane question, I’d look at them in the eye and say something like: Do I look friendly to you? Scram!! This gives people the impression that you are actually confident

This method would work more effectively if you actually look badass. If not, there’s a high probability that you will get your ass kicked

Learn to avoid situations that may trigger your anxiety attacks: When you identify a situation which could potentially trigger your anxiety problem, you must learn to creatively avoid it. I try to avoid situations in which my already very insecure ego would feel even more insecure. When in a crowd, try to find an area in which almost everyone around you is smaller, less accomplished and less attractive.

Use sounds when communicating: I occasionally get tongue tied whenever I talk to girls that I like. My best solution to this is to minimize the use of words. Use sounds instead like., Uhh, Huh , Hmmm, Uh-huh. This would make it less likely for you stammer or say really stupid things

There's actu

It's a pretty simple piece. You should be able to learn how not to play it in a few hours. Just follow the chords and the playing style. If you don't know piano chords, search google.

The pitch is a bit off but i thought it made the song a bit more melancholic. Also, there were a few mistakes but those were of course intentional. This entry is not titled "how not to play the piano without mistakes" afterall

I'm not moving. This is still my main blog.

Olivia Munn: This half Chinese half Caucasian lady is one reason why I didn’t mourn jacktv’s demise for too long. Maxx has a lot of crappy shows and I profusely lament the fact that I don’t get to see stewey of family guy anymore. But “attack of the show” alone more than makes up for the deficit-It deeply arouses the geek in me, especially whenever Miss Olivia munn graces the screen. The first time I heard her crack a joke, I said: “that joke didn’t have the remotest semblance of sense. awww”. Who cares if her jokes fail 90% of the time. Her cuteness is so sublime that every failed joke actually makes her more adorable. And just check out the picture above, in which she’s clad in princess leia’s slave girl outfit. Geekgasmotronicalistic!!!

Kristin holt: Kristin Holt is the host of g4’s cheat. I’m not a big fan of the show since I never cheat in games. If I ever do watch the show, it’s only with the intention of gazing upon Miss Holt’s magnetic charms.
