"Why bother?"

With life, I mean? Very little about it is worth hanging around for. And don't give me crap about an afterlife, because if the meaning of life is to live and die so that you can live again, then it only makes it even more pointless than it is already.


Help me out here. My human curiosity is getting the better of me and I need an answer I can swallow.

Christ. Now I know where it is. Sounds like a pretty dire place. The problem is living in London is expensive unless you're earning a minimum of around 30k and even then it's not enough...

Not really, Mitcham is right into London. Egham lies just outside the M25, right by Staines.

Staines being no great place itself...

I see. Is it near Mitcham? My mate lives in Mitcham and it's a bit of a dive...

Egham, Surrey

Where do you live, IB?

What mates?

Even if I did have any these days, I mysteriously can't afford to go out.

Work to live, don't live to work. Hang around with your mates, light one up, knock one back, pull some birds, dance like a moron, have a laugh. Just make sure you enjoy yourself.

I'm pretty much tone deaf when it comes to playing instruments, which is why I only ever related to drums and DJing. With both all you need is a little rhythm.

And I've had epiphanies, but all they do is tell me that life is gay.

I'd like to be able to say I could join a charity and enjoy a life that brings fulfillment through helping the needy, but I crave material success, and a talentless dolt like me can achieve such things in scant few ways.

So, right now I'm working on expanding my vocabulary.

Because you dont want to?

I think everyone reaches these epiphanies and either life changes for the better or you just carry on and wake up when you're 70 and wonder where it all went.

Used to play drums.
Then I played two turntables and a mixer

Music is an escape, but it will never be a profession.
