David’s Ramblings

This is quite possibly the most profound sentence that has ever been conceived by mankind.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it. Philosophy. I can’t stand it. 99.999% of the time, it’s bullshit. My opening sentence for example: Where’s the profoundness? Let’s take a look. By saying that this is the most profound sentence ever, it implies there is a deeper meaning. But there doesn’t seem to be one. Could it be that there I am claiming that there has never been anything profound said by mankind? Maybe, but that’s just looking at the top layer, the mocking tone.

If you look deeper, you realize that it requires a lot of thought to prove this point, thereby making one spend countless hours reading other profound sentences. By making you do this, our above sentence has made you more deeply contemplate everything, and is in itself profound…

There’s another layer to it too. What if, perhaps, the profundity of the statement is that you can’t prove that anything else is profound, because there mankind in and of itself is not possible of being profound? Woah. Hold on. Way deep man….

Or not. It’s all bullshit. I made this sentence up to prove the very fact that it is. I could have BS-ed an essay out of the sentence and no one could have proved me wrong. The question is, who gives a damn? Not me. You shouldn’t either. The amount one can bullshit you should not be a sign of his wisdom.

I’m sorry. I started slacking off on posts again. I think I had a good excuse though. Finals aren’t exactly something to be taken lightly. They’re over now, so I can get back to work. In fact, I’ll be getting to all sorts of work this holiday (I hope). I’ve got to make a few websites. Maybe I’ll even find time to work on this one.

Of course, me slacking off isn’t anything new to any of us. It’s a rather bad habit of mine. I’ve got all these ideas that I’d like to work on, and yet I never take the time to get around to them. I’m going to try and change that a bit this holiday break. I don’t plan on stressing too hard, of course (it’s the holiday after all), but I’d like to do something meaningful. Something worthwhile. Something better than sitting on my ass getting another level for my Diablo II character.

I’ve got plenty of ideas, that’s for sure. I could design a better style for this page, write some little program for me to use, work on my writing skills, my drawing skill… anything. I just want to stop looking at my life and thinking, “Wow, look at that. I had over 40 hours of free time and managed to do nothing beyond play video games.”

That was my original intention for my “try to blog every day” resolution Ð to get myself to stop being so lazy ÐÊbut, as usual, slacking off won. Let’s hope the same does not happen for the rest of my life.
