How to Waste a Life
"There's no such thing as adventure. There's no such thing as romance. There's only trouble and desire."
Someone said this to me today and it bugged me.
If there is no Romance, no love, no adventure, no excitment. What is the goal of life? Just to follow your biological impulses until you finally die? That sure sounds like a boring and wasted life to me.
I'm a Christian and to me not following Jesus is a wasted life. Just the thought of someone living their life as if that statement is ture gives me chills.
I can only see Edgar Rice Burroughs laughing at this quote as he writes.

Music I like 09/02/09
Yeah, this song is a rip-off/parody of "Hey There Delilah" but for my time, this is the better version. (Though I do think that the line "He loves a killing spree" should be changed as "24" makes it clear that Jack doesn't like killing, but only does it because no one else will.)
