1996-2006 & Beyond


First the fat boys break up, now I've been out of high school for 10 1/2 years - what's next? Quite a scene/show/celebration for the Woodbridge Senior High School class of 1996 on Saturday night. For me, the 6+ hours of partying mirrored my 4 years of high school: Quite a bit of fun, new memories, a late night, unnecessary drama, and of course, a handful of people who drank much more than their bodies are capable of handling. Anyway, reflecting back on the last decade brought to mind one of the more intriguing philosophies out there:

Nihilism is a philosophical position, often associated with Friedrich Nietzsche, which argues that the world, and especially past and current human existence, is without objective meaning, purpose, comprehensible truth, or essential value. Nihilists generally assert some or all of the following: there is no reasonable proof of the existence of a higher ruler or creator, a "true morality" is unknown, and secular ethics are impossible; therefore, life has no truth, and no action is known to be preferable to any other.

I concluded, this may be true or not true, but while I try to figure it out over the next 10 years, why not have some fun and leave a legacy behind that I can be proud of.
