“A wise man once said to me: “Mike, ” he said; “If you
always remember to keep your mind focused and follow the simple and
logical path of progression in every area of your life, you will
accomplish many great things.” As I pondered his words, he added
the following punctuation, which has since become a part of the
definition of “me.” He added: “Of course, you’ll eventually die
with the realization that you missed out on 99% of your life and
you’ll most probably be miserable and bored at the end of both the
literal and figurative day. Well before you reach your expiration
date your milk will have already turned into cottage cheese. Leave
me now and go do something either irrational, contrary or both, but
just go. And have fun!” He was probably the most upbeat nihilist
I’ve ever met ;)”
