Just so everyone knows:
The meaning of life is to live as long as you can. I hate it that when I ask someone what the meaning of life is they'll say this!
This is true though, actually.
The meaning of life is to exist. Simply exist.
(You have to drop thinking about it from the human perspective to realize this, and stop anthropomorphizing the universe)
It's kind of humbling.

I've had a lot of free time the last couple of evenings, and I've had great intentions of working on some of my projects, and maybe even starting a new one, but every time I go to open an editor my focus just drains right out of me. Right now I feel about as creative as a cinder block with a learning disability.

From a biological point of view, it is true. Survival and reproduction are the only universal meanings to species' lives.
But I'd rather think about it in a "human" perspective: one that also includes a psychological point of view, because we consider ourselves to be "more" than just animals...

So, I was just sleeping in my car here in Orlando, in the industrial sector where all of the factories are and the rundown houses start to crop up. Funny thing is nobody even cares about my little corolla parked in a vacant lot, mostly because it is obviously only a jimmy-rigged fixed anyways, and still has marks from it run in with the mountain one cold icy day.
So I just kept snoozing there, my laptop charging on the seat next to mine when suddenly I heard a sound. A loud sound, and I awaken to find that one of the factories had a massive hole in the side with fire coming out. So, being a reasonable man, I called 911 and booked it out of there before they would ask me why I was parked in front of a empty Factory/Warehouse? I really did not care what it was when I parked there to sleep, only that it was empty. No need to let the cops give me a ticket for being too cheap to pay the mad rates most hotels and motels go for out there. Also, camping in flordia has never worked too well in my favor (Bloodsuckers). Well, that is my adventure, and now I think I will drive off to another abandoned district, away from the eyes of the cops and whatever crime there is here to sleep. You just gotta love mcdonalds wifi.

Facesforce - From my youthful misadventures, I can give you two tips about not paying for hotels, and I actually used the second one of these in Orlando before.
1)Find a place open 24 hours, and use that parking lot. When I was living out of my car, I found that walmarts were pretty good for this. You don't have to worry about security coming by and rousting you at three in the morning. Still, I only ever let myself sleep for a couple of hours at a time, and still made a point of actually going into the store to get something so I had a receipt to show I was a customer and had every right to be in the lot. (I was around 19-20ish at the time, so the rationalizing seemed fine to me) Of course, I stopped doing this after one night when I heard a case of child abuse unfolding two spaces over and truncated it in just about the most irresponsible way possible. (I actually posted it back on GW, I'll have to see if I still have a copy, or if I'll have to type it out again.)
2)This one takes some self confidence, and a bit of acting skill wouldn't kill you. It actually came to me when I found myself suddenly homeless after a heated argument with the young woman I had been living with. You park in a hotel parking lot, you make sure you look presentable enough for whatever place you are attempting this at, and walk right in like you belong there. You go up to the front desk, even late at night there should be someone around, and you ask if someone has checked in yet. You make up a name, not something stupidly outlandish, and not something ridiculously common, for obvious reasons. You make sure that you look sincerely confused and worried when they tell you that they have no guest by that name. Ask if there was a message left for you, because you were supposed to meet this person there. Start to get a little upset, visibly when they tell you no. Verify the name of the hotel, and ask one more time if they're sure the person hasn't checked in. Bring up that they asked you to meet them there at a time, possibly a time in advance of the actual time. If you have done everything right, and you look sincere enough, the clerk will probably suggest that you could wait in the lobby. From experience, you can get a few hours this way, or at least up to the shift change. Of course you can't just pick a couch and pass out immediately, you sort of need to be alert for that first hour or so, constantly checking the clock/your phone. Gradually though, you start to sink into the upholstery a little bit, you catch yourself dozing, when you pop back up, make sure to check the phone/clock again. Eventually, you can just fall asleep naturally and stay that way for a while.
That said, it is still just easier to plan your trips ahead, book a hotel online, and pay a reduced rate. That's what I do now =)

This is a nice little piece of social engineering. I approve.
My house mate's kitty is out there in the cold- will he come back safely and will I be able to live with myself if he doesn't?
After driving around the beautiful, winding, one-lane road that carves along the coast of Maui, I am in Calgary again. If anyone goes to Hawaii in the future, hop on a flight to Maui, rent a jeep, and drive around the coast. It is worth the cost... I will be uploading pics (it did happen) of a few points along the way.

...why do I always end up with the most embarrassing health problems
EDIT: Turns out I have haemorrhoids. Because varicocele wasn't bad enough. :(

Why would knowing that someone else has worse issues make me feel better? Hope you get better soon! Sorry to hear about the break-up too. :(
I don't think it should bother people that much unless they thought the world worked like a Final Fantasy game...

I wish my neighbor's house would suddenly explode or ignite. I wouldn't have to see his juvenile jackass kids' faces anymore afterwards.
Thankfully, the chance of the house blowing up isn't that slim, given that he's from some outlaw motorcycle club and those clubs always have time for vendetta.

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.
