Life is a Path you take, and it doesn't matter how long it takes for you to arrive – what matters is the experience you received getting to your final destination.

The Meaning of Life – My Journey

Posted on December 6, 2014December 8, 2014 by saywordz

(After writing my blog post I realized that this was not my intended topic, initially I wanted to blog about my night out and the experience I had.)

I woke up this morning to my mobile alarm telling me to wake the fuck up.

As I mentioned in my previous post, life is a journey. It’s about experiencing and meeting new people, and having a “moment” in your life with these people. It can be short, a simple conversation on the side of a street; or it could be a long relationship you have with a best friend. In the end it doesn’t matter, but what does matter is how you spend that time with that person.

Imagine for a second how you’re living your life right now, in this moment. I suppose technically if you’re reading my blog post you are reading it in front of a computer or electronic device of some sort. However after reading this blog try to think about what you’re doing in life in this moment. I’ll give you an example: Right now it is 12PM noon as I am writing this blog post. However think about all the things in life that could be happening right at this moment? There are people in Japan who are currently partying in Tokyo; University students in Europe who are pre-drinking; there are people working something simple as retail to the world’s greatest minds developing a cure, an invention, or an idea. There are people in the world mourning lost loved ones, and people who are celebrating new ones. There is so much going on in the world at this moment, right now.

These are all experiences.

Now it’s impossible to experience everything all at once, that would mean creating a machine that could make billions of clones of yourself and having each clone connected to each other. However what we can do is enjoy each experience that we are living in. The problem is how do we find ourselves in new experiences? Let me talk about the dilemma I had while growing up, and the type of person that I am discovering myself to be.

I have always enjoyed thinking about life and unravelling the complexities of life. What is the meaning of life? To be honest, there is no meaning. The meaning is what we develop for ourselves, while some prefer to live a conservative lifestyle of work, family and retirement. Others may prefer a life of constant adventure and excitement. The question is discovering what we know to be true about our life, and if we can be satisfied with it.

As I mentioned I enjoy thinking about life, but one thing I have always been a fond of is experiencing. I believe that experience is an exciting moment in life; there are good experiences and there are bad ones. For my own purposes I will talk about my own journey and experience. I have always lived a life of little adventure and little experience, not because I wanted to, but because I was forced into it. Because of this little jail of comfort I was forced to live my life in, I have not experienced much in my life. That’s not to say that I haven’t done anything in my life, but let’s just say that I’ve lived a pretty sheltered life. There are people who say to me –often while we are about to do something most normal people don’t – “you’ve never done this before eh? you seem like a good kid”. There is a difference between “being a good kid” and “not experiencing”. A perfect example of how sheltered my life has been; I have gone to more bars in the past three days, than I have in my life (I’m turning 26 in 9 days). That’s not to say that I didn’t want to go out and bar hop, but when the people you hang out with only go to the same fucking place to eat half price chicken wings – your options are forced upon you.

That’s the beauty of life – as I see it at least – the people you meet and hang out with, will give you a different experience in life.

I’m not here to try and convince you to live a different style of life. Think about what makes you happy in your own life, because that’s the key to being successful. If reading a book and staying home on a Friday night is what makes you happy, then go for it. If spending countless days and nights in your workshop trying to develop the next big thing is what makes you happy, then go for it. If travelling the world moving from one location to the next makes you happy, then go for it. There are an unlimited amount of ways to live life, and the key is not to emulate the ones you see, it’s to develop one significant to you.

I want to experience everything in life, the good the bad, and the crazy; and probably not in that order. I’m not trying to make up for all of the time missed out in my youth, but I am learning that I did miss out on a lot. The key is acknowledging that there is an infinite amount of things to do in life, and you can’t do them all. My journey is to experience as much as I can, and leave here a documentation of all that I’ve learned

To trim the hedges

Indiana Jones'

Plot......copy

In 1957, Indiana Jones and his partner George "Mac" McHale are kidnapped from Mexico where they were digging for trinkets by Soviet agents under Colonel Dr. Irina Spalko, who infiltrate a secret Nevada warehouse labeled "Hangar 51" and force Jones to locate a mummified corpse (implied to come from the Roswell UFO incident,10 years earlier, on which he was forced to work). Upon its discovery, Mac reveals he has become a double agent working for the Soviets. After an unsuccessful attempt to retrieve the body and a fight with Spalko's henchman Dovchenko, Jones escapes to a model town at the Nevada Test Site, minutes before an atomic bomb test. He takes shelter in a lead-lined refrigerator and is rescued, decontaminated, and interrogated by FBI agents, who suspect him of working for the Soviets. Though freed by the recommendation of General Ross, he ends up put on indefinite leave of absence from Marshall College. His leaving also causes the dean's resignation to keep Indiana's job at the college.

Jones is approached by greaser Mutt Williams, who tells him Harold Oxley found a crystal skull in Peru and was later kidnapped. Jones tells Mutt about the legend of crystal skulls found in Akator, and Mutt gives Jones a letter from his mother, containing a riddle written by Oxley in an ancient language. KGB agents attempt to capture them, but Jones and Mutt escape and, finding and following the riddle's meaning, reach Peru. At the local psychiatric hospital, Oxley's scribbles on the walls and floor of his cell lead them to the grave of Francisco de Orellana, a Conquistador who searched for Akator. They find the skull at the grave, with Jones reasoning Oxley had returned it there.

Jones and Mutt are captured by Mac and the Soviets and taken to their camp in the Amazon jungle, where they find Oxley and Mutt's mother, Marion Ravenwood, who reveals that Mutt is Jones’ son, Henry Jones III. Spalko believes the crystal skull belongs to an alien life form and holds great psychic power, and finding more skulls in Akator will grant the Soviets the advantage of psychic warfare. Spalko uses the skull on Jones to enable him to understand Oxley and identify a route to Akator. Jones and his allies try to escape, but Marion and Jones get caught in a dry sandpit, and are recaptured by the Soviets. While on their way to Akator, Mac tells Jones he is a CIA double-agent to regain Jones' trust. Jones and his team fight their way out of the Soviets' clutches, while Dovchenko is devoured by siafu ants. After surviving three waterfalls in an amphibious vehicle, Jones and Oxley identify a skull-like rock formation that leads them to Akator, unaware that Mac lied about being a CIA agent and has been dropping transceivers to allow the surviving Soviets to track them.

Jones' team evade the city's guardians, gain access to the temple, and find it filled with artifacts from many ancient civilizations, identifying the aliens as extra-dimensional "archaeologists" studying the different cultures of Earth. They find and enter a chamber containing thirteen crystal skeletons, the tenth missing its skull. Spalko arrives and presents the skull to its skeleton, whereupon the aliens reanimate and telepathically offer a reward in ancient Mayan through Oxley. Spalko immediately demands to know everything and the aliens transfer their knowledge into her mind. A portal to their dimension becomes activated, and the other remaining Soviets are drawn into it. As Jones, Marion, Mutt, and Oxley (who has regained his sanity) escape, the thirteen beings fuse into one, and in the process of receiving the overwhelming knowledge, Spalko is disintegrated and sucked into the portal. Mac is sucked in too after he willingly lets go of Jones' whip. Jones' team escape and watch as the city crumbles, revealing a flying saucer rising from under the ground and vanishing into the "space between spaces", while the hollow in the valley floor left by its departure is flooded by the waters of the Amazon.

The following year, Jones is reinstated at Marshall College and made an associate dean, and he and Marion are married.
