By reading this message, you agree to donate half of your assets to
benevolent non-profit organizations upon death.

At the beginning of a Tool song called "Third Eye":

"a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed
to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness....."  "there is no
such thing as death, life is only a dream and were are an imagination of
ourselves"

I too, figured this out through reading countless pilosophical and
theological things on the internet for three weeks during freshmen
year.  I wrote a philosophy paper about it.  I failed my philosophy
class.  What a bitch!

However, my life has been different since then.  I don't party as often
cause it gets kind of pointless.  My life's work is to make people less
ignorant the best way that I can.

Since, I get angered easy, I can't just like go join the peace force or
something or teach high school.  That would really suck.

I am gonna try to be the best damned computer engineer I can so there is
enough computing power to cure all the diseases and predict weather and
natural disasters so that everyone can be more happy.  Since we are all a
part of each other, making other people happy and able to make themselves
happy and able to help other people happy, should be pretty cool for me
too.

Along the way, I'll make sure that I don't work myself too hard and make
sure I don't completely dedicate myself to others cause If I'm unhappy,
then I will be physically and mentally less capable of reaching my
goals.  So, I be nice to myself sometimes too.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS:

If you find a direction in life and make sure that you don't impede the
happiness of other's (and yourself) while going in that direction than you
got a very good chance at being happy.

Why would you be happy?  Because you will probably get laid.  I mean
sooner or later, being nice to people and aiming for a decent goal will
get you really good sex.

Are you too geek for that?  Well maybe you'll earn enough money to get a
Playstation 2 or something.

Anyways, don't kill yourself or anything.  Anyone smart enough to be able
to post a newsgroup message has got to be useful for something good.

Happy Holidays

Please reply to me directly as well as in the newsgroup.  Thanks.
