so the other day at work i made the comment to matt about how everything we strive for in this life is futile. wealth, knowledge, connection. all futile in that when we die, none of those things go with us. they all get left behind. and now he makes fun of me by putting on a "mcclain" voice and saying things like "oh. everything is pointless cuz we're gonna die. i shouldn't put effort into anything. blah blah blah."
i keep telling him he missed the point. just because it's futile, doesn't mean there isn't any point in trying. quite on the contrary. i think the fact that as flawed human beings who are destined to fail makes trying all the more beautiful. there's glory in a lost cause.
COMING SOON: i'm going to be writing a blog about the whole ninjas vs. pirates situation.
but i want to wait to do it until i've had a little bit to drink, that way i can be as hurtful as possible towards the pirate side of the line. why? CAUSE NINJAS FREAKIN' RULE!!!
