The Meaning of Life

Life sucks. Life gives you shit and then gives you seconds. This policy only applies when you ignore the good. Everything is a learning experience and an opportunity to better yourself. I sounds like a motivational speaker. But seriously. I was forced to move from my place. I enjoy living here. My roommate is cool and the location is perfect. I am within walking distance of everything from vons to target to denny's. But now I must move on. I could call this a bad luck experience and be depressed. However instead I realized that this an opportunity to move into a bigger room and possibly pay a lower rent. Isn't a lower cost worth more than convenience sometimes? Convenience is overrated. Convenience is convenient. There's no question. However it eliminates the time you are experiencing the world. A wise man once said "Life is what happens to you when you're making plans for something else." That means that when you go to the supermarket and you get a flat tire. Then a guy stops to help you. You chat with him over the situation and become friends after that. That situation would never happen if you ordered your groceries online because it's more convenient. Everyone has a story like that. Hopefully you have more than that. By skateboarding with a friend at a school that you hate to skate, you spot a dodge ball. Within a few minutes no one is skating and everyone is running around the school playing an enhanced game of dodgeball. Your favorite skatepark is conveniently down the street but you went to this bullshit skate spot instead and life took it's course. Share your stories. Give me a life story. Leave a comment and let me hear another. I could go on for days. Life happens and life gives you shit. Keep your pace forward and evade the obstacles.
