Yes I do know what I'm looking for in life. I'm looking for the things I enjoy about life, so as I can live happily and with a clean conscience. Simple. It has nothing to do with music tastes either.

Well actually, Yes. I'm Arriving Somewhere and I know where that is.



Here.
And that's all there is to it. Everything else is just pathetic attempts to convince yourself otherwise, always failed and never admitted.

Not at all.
 
I'm 20...what I want seems to change quite often.
 
But it usually revolves around women.
 
I have no idea what I want to do in life. Yes, I do have a major picked out in college, but I would be perfectly happy doing something totally different with the rest of my life. In a way I'd like to be a jack of all trades. I hate that I have to narrow my professional focus down to one seemingly insignificant field. I feel like I'm missing so much.
 
Also, on the social side, I would like for there to be a social side. In a way, I'd like to have like 4 or 5 very close friends (and a girlfriend in there as well...) and just waste the days away with them. Of course, two years ago I wanted the exact opposite...going out to parties and meeting various peoples...but now...that doesn't seem to interest me. I'd still go if invited, but I have no interest to seek it out. And who knows, give it four years and see if I still want this or something different.
 
Music is easier. I love prog, jazz and related, and the avant-garde. I like many others types of music as well. Only problem here is time...too little too too much music.
 
I suppose the ultimate goal is to be able to live a happy life and not look back at things with regret (as I'm doing now, in a way at least). How to become happy is the key, and the answer will be what I want. But what that is is elusive to me at this point in time. Somethings are constant, such as music and a ladyfriend. But overall, there are many grey areas. Hopefully one day it will become clearer.
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

So you'd prefer to be buried and eaten up by maggots and weevils rather than being burned, dumped, or eaten by people? Tongue

Both can be accomplished if necrophilia is part of the gameplan.

Also I voted I don't know so that the count would be 8-8-8.

That's the thing, his preferences become quite irrelevant at this point, don't they?

Man: (entering a shop) Um, excuse me, is this the undertaker's?

Undertaker: Yup, that's right, what can I do for you, squire?

Man: Um, well, I wonder if you can help me. My mother has just died and I'm not quite sure what I should do.

Undertaker: Ah, well, we can 'elp you. We deal with stiffs.

Man: (aghast) Stiffs?

Undertaker: Yea. Now there's three things we can do with your mum. We can bury her, burn her, or dump her.

Man: Dump her?

Undertaker: Dump her in the Thames.

Man: (still aghast) What?

Undertaker: Oh, did you like her?

Man: Yes!

Undertaker: Oh well, we won't dump her, then. Well, what do you think: burn her, or bury her?

Man: Um, well, um, which would you recommend?

Undertaker: Well they're both nasty. If we burn her, she gets stuffed in the flames, crackle, crackle, crackle, which is a bit of a shock if she's not quite dead. But quick. And then you get a box of ashes, which you can pretend are hers.

Man: (timidly) Oh.

Undertaker: Or, if you don't wanna fry her, you can bury her. And then she'll get eaten up by maggots and weevils, nibble, nibble, nibble, which isn't so hot if, as I said, she's not quite dead.

Man: I see. Um. Well, I.. I.. I.. I'm not very sure. She's definitely dead.

Undertaker: Where is she?

Man: In the sack.

Undertaker: Let's 'ave a look.

(FX: rustle of bag opening)

Undertaker: Umm, she looks quite young.

Man: Yes, she was.

Undertaker: (over his shoulder) FRED!

Fred: (offstage) Yea!

Undertaker: I THINK WE'VE GOT AN EATER!

Fred: I'll get the oven on!

Man: Um, er...excuse me, um, are you... are you suggesting we should eat my mother?

(pause)

Undertaker: Yeah. Not raw, not raw. We cook her. She'd be delicious with a few french fries, a bit of stuffing. Delicious! (smacks his lips)

Man: What! (he stammers)

(pause)

Man: Actually, I do feel a bit peckish - No! NO, I can't!

Undertaker: Look, we'll eat your mum. Then, if you feel a bit guilty about it afterwards, we can dig a grave and you can throw up into it.

Man: All right.

Did they really have to say then that they were going to eat her? If he went with cremation, they could have kept the body and, as they suggested, just give the guy some random ashes.

That too.
 
If more people here are not wandering through the abyss it is because the population here skews much higher than the average punk/whatever forum.

The meaning of life...oh, bbffrrghh...Abstract tears to the ground/Soft years of melancholy/A draft of inner advice/To welcome the strangers neighbor/A vast, swift talk of romance and despair/A bellboy's journey through the eight limbs of Yoga

Yes. I'm Arriving Somewhere and I don't know where that is.
