The meaning of life, if you ask me...

I don't know much about anything but this much I've learned: be, love and help somebody

1. Be somebody

There are things you're either good at or have the means to become good at, things that you like doing and things you can do for money. If you can find a calling in life that fits into all 3 of those categories, you've achieved more than most.
Whatever it is you end up doing, try to be the best you can be at it - trust me on this one.

2. Love somebody

I doubt this one needs further explanation. Find someone that you'll love, respect and be able to put up with and who will love, respect and be able to put up with you and share your life with them. It's much more fun that way.

3. Help somebody

Out of the 3, this one's the simplest - if you see someone in need of help, try your best to help them. If you think the world is a shitty place, like I tend to, try to make it less shitty for people around you.

I'm not entirely sure why after years of using this blog as a depository for music I like, I decided to write something again. I guess I haven't been feeling well lately, and figured I'd share something meaningful to me with the rest of the world in case life happens.

Cheers!

OIL 2012

This about sums it up

"You form your opinion of God from the account given of Him in the Bible; and I form my opinion of the Bible from the wisdom and goodness of God manifested in the structure of the universe, and in all works of creation. The result in these two cases will be, that you, by taking the Bible for your standard, will have a bad opinion of God; and I, by taking God for my standard, shall have a bad opinion of the Bible."

Thomas Paine in a letter to a christian friend on May 12th, 1797
