The phenomena of being alive.
I don't care to look for the meaning of life. I find that this just get me bogged down and is an incoherent folly at best. All experiences are subject to accumulation and adaptation. What was once the greatest priority can reveal itself to be a mere trivial pursuit over time.
Besides if I would actually find an answer to the meaning of life, well... then what? Game over? Sounds rather boring too me.
I have many interests, pursuits, agendas, intentions, desires, goals, but none of them are ultimate or are the sole thing that bring "meaning" to my life. I have suffered a lot in life, but I would not trade it away. I am a product of this suffering. I have laughed a lot in life, but again would not trade it, as I am a part of this just as well.
I'm a happy Sisyfus! I choose my rocks (the key to my happiness) and shove them up Mt. Olympus. Zeus is there waiting to zap me in the ass. I drop the rock, it rolls down to the valley again and I get to do it all over again. How cool is that!
In spite of what comes my way, I carry on regardless...
Two songs for the road...
...the second is why I returned to philosophy after a long absense, whatever that's worth?

Moral is as moral does and as moral wishes it all too be. - MoS
The absence of all empirical evidence for the necessity of intuitive X existing is evidence against the necessary empirical existence of intuitive X - MoS (variation of 180proof)
Athesim is not a system of belief, but rather a single answer to a single question. It is the designation applied by theists to those who do not share their assumption that a god/deity exists. - MoS
I am not one to attribute godlike qualities to things that I am unable to understand. I may never be in the position to understand certain things, but I am not about to create an anthropomorphic deity out of my short-commings. I wish not to errect a monument to my own personal ignorace and demand that others worship this proxy of ego. - MoS
