The meaning of life?

gemfyreI just had an interesting thought. Everyone's always asking about the meaning of life. Of course biologically that question is easily answered. DNA exists to replicate itself, we're just elaborate vehicles DNA has created to be more successful in it's consequent replications. Biologically there is no meaning per-say, we just have to eat so we can reproduce and pass on the genes.
Spiritually however... Most people are of the mindset that if there is no spiritual meaning then "why bother?" People who feel their lives have no meaning get depressed and sometimes suicidal. And I was just thinking, I don't get this. So... just because you think your life may have no meaning you're going to sit and mope all day because "why bother?" Huh? Meaning or not, I'm still here, I still feel, by God I'm going to have a good time meaning or not. It's all I'm gonna get.
I like that quote I heard somewhere - "You get what everyone else gets. You get a lifetime."

For fuck's sake, go away bladder!!
I drink 750mLs of water and am consequently rushing to the loo every 10 minutes, and that isn't an exaggeration. This is ridiculous.

It's all in the colour of the pee. If it's dark it's bad, if it's light there's nothing to worry about.
Wow - I know too much about pee.

You can learn an awful lot from shit.

I hate having to take pee tests...carrying that little jar back through the waiting room full of people gawking at your pee...
I guess it would be worse having to do a poop test - the little jar even has a scoop! AND it's not clear so at least you can't see in...
YUK!
I'm far too squeamish for biology
