[QUOTE="Zeviander"]Because I spent almost a decade of my life (it started in high school) searching for a religious answer to my existentialist question (the perennial "why?") that ended up showing me I already knew the answer, I was just being an idiot about it. This answer being... and children tend to understand this best: time doesn't exist (what matters is the moment, the "now"), what pleases me is the most important thing in the universe (whether that be physical, emotional or interpersonal) and life isn't worth living unless you are having fun. It's almost too f*cking simple... yet since fully embracing it, I have come into my "self" again, and am very happy with my life and am willing to put in the effort to change it for the better (where certain things cause stress or depression). I also spent a good four years (out of a total five) in university using my post-secondary education as a spring board for this futile quest. I wasted my time and my money on religious studies (and to a lesser extent Asian studies and Japanese language/culture) instead of pursuing something that I truly loved (astronomy and physics) or something that might have actually been useful for me professionally (engineering) that would give me an income to permit pursuing what I love in my free time (video games, cars, etc.). But don't take my word for it. Everyone comes to this conclusion eventually... just in their own way and own time. Unfortunately for some it ends up coming around way too late.sayyy-gaa

This sound like a real selfish way to live Z. What pleases you is the most important thing in all of the universe?

Whats wrong with wanting to live a lfie of personal fufillment? As long as your joy does not come at the expense of others I see no problem in living a life in pursuit of happiness then to spend it worried about whether or not your going to burn in hell for 'sinning.'

I base mine mostly on facts, there may be a god there may not, we have virtually no valid evidence to come to a logical conclusion.

Secondly I'd say i am humble enough to accept this, some people can't, they have to feel their life has some 'higher purpose.' Just sit back relax, be a good person and enjoy the ride, don't get too worked up over death and judgement by some 'god.'

I go with the flow, read one or two books on my subject then start writing and read books as I go. Most would feel this is a terrible strategy, but it works for me.

Disturbed - Believe (remember buying this back in grade 8 and getting absolutely hooked on their music, definitely my favourite album of all time).

Two honourable mentions

Rage against the machine - Renegades

Metallica - Master of Puppets

Don't like them, especially the ones that claim they only hack to "do good' in the world.

My favourite would be the SNES to Dreamcast, not sure what eras that included. today I play SNES, Genisis, N64, Dreamcast and some Xbox. The mdoern era is fun, but I grow tired of patches, incomplete games and a major focus on online to the neglect of single player modes. FPS now seem only focused on online and just tack on some mediocre campaign.

The modern day is still enjoyable, and there have been a few amazing games, i.e MGS4. But I do think its less innovative and profit oriented (Call of duty comes to mind, although to be fair what they are just giving consumers what they want).

Tobacco companies....I get that smoking is bad, but seriously at this point people know and if they choose to buy them, then its not the companies fault, there offering a service. Also I cannot stand it when some fat guy rips on smokers and tobacco companies while stuffing his face at some fastfood joint.

So happy for Vilma's suspension. such an arrogant player, not that this suspension will change it, but its nice to know he'll be watching football from the couch this season.

A real tragedy, such an awsome football player. RIP Seau.
