Most of us will go through life without leaving a lasting imprint on the world. As nameless faces in the crowd, we are neither heroes nor villains. We constitute the multitudes forgotten by history. Yes, history will mention us, but only as part of the larger whole. Is there nothing worse than to live life so unexceptionally? Most do not possess the academic drive to...

"Happiness is not a destination, but a method of living."
The journey matters as much as, if not more than, the destination. The prize comes not at the end, but at every step along the way. But, on second thought, I am plagued by doubt. What is happiness? And what is truth? What is truth if not merely the negation of falsity? Intuitively, truth is...

Peach, too! As long as it's not artificially flavored and has chunks of fruit in it. I also like the right kind of vanilla: Dreamery or B&J's. No French vanilla. No Breyer's, which seemed somehow ... crumbly the last time. I'm also partial to Blue Moon, for childhood-sentimental reasons.

What is nothingness?
Is it not something if it has been named? Since if it were truly *nothing* then it would not have the name nothing. Only that which is something has a name. If nothing is named as such, then it is something. Nothing is nothing.
I went to http://www.nothing.com out of sheer curiosity. Heh. If nothing is pure zero, it is something, it...

Nothings nothingness makes it something. If you had 5 apples, and they get stolen you're left with nothing...which is still something. Kind of a comforting fact actually.

Does it pertain to "objects" of affection? Is the most enjoyable part of a relationship in the "chase?" Is it the challenge which makes an object so alluring? Once the desired is caught, does it lose its glitter? Remember when you were...

Our loved ones have seen the best and the worst in us--they've seen us at our most admirable and they've seen us at our most deplorable. From the highest peaks of the mountain down to the lowest gulley, they've weathered the cycle of ascent and descent in life, and are surprisingly willing for more adventures and obstacles with us. Still, it is these same individuals...

I am deeply saddened by the loss of NBC reporter David Bloom. *a few moments of silence* He has a wife and three little kids back home, and a whole nation of Americans mourning for this courageous man who untimely left us.

How Do You Decide Who To Marry?
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.

No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get...
