I don't blog about my candle making adventures, my family (with two thousand pictures of my kids), or my life as a housewife who makes quilts 24/7. I'm not some pretentious hipster who can't finish three sentences without using some form of the word "musing." I'm just here to laugh at society.

This ain't Monty Python's Meaning of Life.

The way I see it, or from the unbiased point of view I'm trying to see it from, the purpose of life is to pursue that question of "what is the purpose of life?" Depending on what you believe, it's probably something along the lines of pleasing a greater being, God. This works, because it is a purpose that cannot be fulfilled untill death, or untill we stop wanting to please God, in which case our lives purpose becomes pleasing ourselves. If you are an evolutionist, then pretty much your only purpose is to die and hope that your spawn have the heads of dinosaurs or something, I don't even know. Although, that would be pimpin' on a whole new level. If people didn't ask questions, we wouldn't have to think about the "purpose of life," and people would live life instead of wonder about it.

Since we are chasing this evasive question, we assume that there is an answer. Is there really a purpose to life? As a human being, probably not. I was born, I will live for a small while, and then I'll die, fertilize some dirt, something like that, tons of fun, eaten by maggots. But honestly, if you don't already have a purpose written out somewhere *cough* the Bible/Quran/Book of Mormon/Skymall *cough* then you're probably doomed to just look under leaves and whatnot.

"Oh leaf, why was I put here on earth?"
*rustle rustle*
"Should I be taking notes?"
*rustle*
"Oh I'm sorry great leaf! I didn't mean to anger you!"

His name is Russel. He's angered by the fact
that you're taking notes on his brethren.

Yeah, something like that. Do you have a purpose for living? Christians: yes, God put you here to do his bidding and whatnot. Deists: no, God left you here like an unwanted baby at an orphanage. Evolutionists: no, you were an accident, you're also like an unwanted baby, but you werent even put into an orphanage; you're the Sasquatch of the universe. Atheists: sure. In the (paraphrased) words of Dane Cook, you get to live, die, turn into a tree, then be chopped down by a sweaty lumberjack, turned into paper, and have the Bible printed on you. Do you even believe there is a purpose to life? You confuse me on a voluminous level. Congratulations. Muslims: yes! You are to spread the words of Mohammed el Prophet and kill those pesky infidels. Or, if you choose to believe that the whole of Islam isn't a radical terrorist group, you can just live out life and wait for your 72 virgins. Catholics: you are to follow Cathol and all his teachings (source: Eddie Izzard). Also, you have lots of nice orphanages (but not for Deists and Evolutionists.)



* Note: I know very little, and I realize this. However, if you still feel inclined to remind me, I welcome it with open arms. Also, I wrote this when I was like, fourteen, and edited very little. It's probably nor so good.

FEED ME MOAR PARADOX! *NOM NOM*

People way over complicate this "unstoppable force immovable object" paradox enigma thing. Just because they meet doesn't mean one has to stop movement or begin movement. Theoretically, all that would happen is the unstoppable force would be deflected in a new direction, leaving the object unmoved and the force still unstoppable. For all I care, the unstoppable force shatters into a million pieces and all those millions of pieces scatter off unstoppably. But one must also define an unstoppable object. Having an object that moves at such speed that it is virtually impossible to impede counters the laws of physics (some random scientific crap/jargon about force and resistance and stuff). Since we're operating outside the laws of physics, you can pretty much create any scenario you desire about them. There are two types of energy in the scientific (and I assume the regular) world; kinetic and potential energy. For instance, Kvetchey Karen has a great deal of potential (energy that could be used for moving) energy when she stands at the top of a flight of stairs. While falling down the stairs, pushed by Dastardly Dane (because KAREN IS SUCH A DOUCHE!), she has high amounts of kinetic (energy that is moving) energy. So a force could be unstoppable in our metaphysical realm based off of either one of these two types of energy. And while we're messing with physics, I'm gonna go deal with some Escher stuff... I'm thinking new troll workout; the Stair Master 4000. It's not actually a machine. It's just perpetual stairs.


Here's a classic:
The following sentence is true.
The previous sentence is false.

They're both right and wrong. It's a perpetual circle of varying validity. The second sentence has a loophole, though. Sometimes there's more than two sides to a story. It says that the first sentence is false; just because something is not true at the present time doesn't mean that it will be forever untrue. If I were to say That Obama is the President of the United States, it would be a true statement. In ten years it will definitely not be true. In two years, it could be true. That last statement I made is conjecture, based off an unstable fact. When we say that the last sentence is false, what we're really saying is that it's false for now. It'll be true later, so why worry about it? And since there are always three parts to a logical syllogism, I'm just gonna throw a few out there for you. Neither sentence matters; the cake is a lie; never gonna give you up; u mad bro?

Here, this one looks easy: Paradox of the Court: "A law student agrees to pay his teacher after winning his first case. The teacher then sues the student (who has not yet won a case) for payment." (trust me, it makes more sense if you read the link).

They're looking at it all wrong, honestly. The law student has made an honest agreement with his teacher, and then when the student wins no cases, the teacher sues the student for the money he promised. Alright, now stop. The court is in session. They both present their cases, and the judge rules in favour of the student, saying that he doesn't have to pay the teacher since he has had no cases. So there is no suing happening, ya dig? The case is now over. The law student has won his first case. He remains true to his word and pays the teacher the money he promised him. Why is this even a problem? Oh right, 'cause the teacher gets mo' money, and mo' money is mo' problems. If the student had lost the case, however, he would have paid the teacher the money he promised him for winning a case, and now his debt is paid off in advance.

Crocodile Dilemma: If a crocodile steals a child and promises its return if the father can correctly guess what the crocodile will do, how should the crocodile respond in the case that the father guesses that the child will not be returned?

If there's one thing I've learned in this life, it's that crocodiles are thieving, conniving bastards; they never keep their word. Also, they can't talk, and they have a tendency to eat their meals (in this case, a delicious child. Is this the Crocodile Dilemma or the Pedo-bear dilemma? I forget). Here's how it's all gonna go down:

"Hey man, I stole your kid. If you guess what I'm gonna do with him, I'll return him!"
"You aren't gonna give him back, are you..."
"Damn straight I ain't, mutha sucka!"
"Aw, snicker doodles..."
"Actually, wait, you can have him back. In about two to three days! Muahahahaha!" *chomp* 

Bam, that's what I think. Send me some more paradoxes and I'll solve them for you.


P.S. I know I'm full of BS, but if you still feel inclined to tell me so in the comments, I welcome your hate with open arms. And I'm gonna give your hate a hug. 'Cause honestly, who can hate during a hug? Besides, people tell me I give awesome hugs.
