What is your meaning of


What is your meaning of life?

I guess it's better than being an Ice Cube.

Spring break is finally looking up: I have plans to meet a friend in DC on Thursday in front of the Smithsonian. I'm excited: I love DC - just walking around, and being there seems to always be a good time. I haven't had a chance to talk with my friend in quite a while; and I'm looking forward to that as well.

Tomorrow, I'm planning to go down to the Inner Harbor and just kind of hang out and take pictures, all tourist like, maybe go over to Fell's Point and do the shops. Maybe catch an IMAX movie at the science center. You know. Hang out. Rad.

The quotation at the top of the page is a reference to a paper I once did for a High School english class. It wasn't a really good paper, and the teacher who ran the class, Brother Tom Bondra - a Christian Brother who didn't take crap from anyone, tore it apart. I think I wound up with a C-, but the greatest comment that I've ever recieved from a professor graced the last page of my paper: circled was my concluding paragraph (included just to fill space, I believe) with the sentence in red alongside it:


All of this is so vague as to be meaningless.

It is the most dead-on of any writing criticism that I've ever recieved. It is my plan to become famous one day, write my autobiography, and title it that. My production company will be called "All of this is so vague as to be meaningless" Productions. I'm not sure that I want it on my tombstone, but you never know.

Thats it for today. Can't wait for the Inner Harbor tomorrow.
