What the hell is life all about? Seriously, what is it all about!? We're born, then someone hits us, and naturally, being a few minutes old and having been living inside a warm womb for as long as we can remember, we begin to bawl.

Then the schooling process begins. We get taught all sorts of things; say mommy, say daddy, this is called this, that is called that. Now count 1, 2, 3. Good boy/girl! Now say the ABC's. ♫ abcdefg.♫.....♫ hijklmnop.♫........Good boy/girl! Doesn't it seem that since the first day of our birth we're being taught something?

Twelve, maybe nineteen years of school follows. Again, more learning. During this period, nobody, and I mean NOBODY can tell us a thing. We know it already. I know. I know that. I already know! But somehow a few do manage to acquire new information that leads to a whole new avenue of life. And then again, there's some of us who just don't get it. It's just a little bit outside our realm; outside of our perception of what the world is about. Why? Who knows why? That's why I ask, “What the hell is this life all about?!

If we're lucky, we'll find the Love of our life, get married, have children, live in a nice big house with a dog, maybe a cat, and live happily ever after. Yea, right! During that period, after marriage, everything seems perfect for the first few years. Of course, for some, this perfection never stops; they really do live a fairy-tale life. But that happens rarely, once in a great while. Oh, lucky them. Why couldn't I be one of them? Was it really my choice??? But for most of us, it's....”Man, is this all there is?!” We just cannot find true, complete contentment and happiness. What the hell is life all about?!?

Then we arrive at the social security age. At this point I'm just imagining what it will be like:) After a lifetime of work, we're now ready to REALLY begin living. We've saved up all kinds of money and are ready for anything. There's just one thing wrong; we don't know what to do. Finally, though, after some soul-searching, we finally decide and do whatever it is that we always dreamed of doing – and we do it. But there's always something nagging at us. It's like as if something is missing. What is it? What? Is this the way we've felt all our lives; that no matter what or who we've had, we've felt that's there's still something more? Again I ask, what the hell is life about?!?!

So now we're on our deathbed. Some will weep cause they're scared of the unknown, while others will cry for happiness. Happiness that comes from knowing that they are FINALLY leaving this world and are on their way to a new one. Oh, what an adventure it will be! Like on your bus ride out of your hometown going into the armed forces, or going away to college, or leaving home to begin a career in a new city all by yourself! Oh yes, it will be an adventure like no other!

Death come, come and embrace me. Embrace me with your arms of newness, with the prospect of new potentials, of new beginnings, of new hopes & dreams, of maybe realizing what I did not realize in this world! Come quickly, Honorable Death, and take me for I am truly tired and sick of THIS life!!!

But then we get there and realize that it is the same thing. When will this cycle end? When?

Okay, I'm awake now and back to earth:)!
