Ok, so we have this project in school, it's really rather interesting. we have to take a peice of art, literature and "moment" in history, and show how they represent one unified meaning of life. Thats right, as Seniors in Highschool, we are supposed to have figured out the meaning of life. And you know what? I got it, at least as far as this project is concerned I think I have a good point. Legal Disclaimer: any of my classmates who take this I will kick your ass and then show whatever teacher that I had the idea first, here. The Meaning of Life, as I see it, is that Life Is Tansient. So my Project, or at least title page, will be: Life is Tansient: People Leave, Ice Bergs Melt, and Civilizations cease to be. Or something to that effect. I plan to focus on The Great Gatsby (all his friends leave him), the ginormous sculpture of an ice berg at the Art Institute ( you wouldn't know that its an Ice Berg unless you read the thing) and I'm thinking the migration of Irish after the potatoe famine or maybe something obscure and ball busting like Pygmies or Arawak people. Ok, focuz dried up. I have an idea though. Maybe I'll start writing articles, not replacing my ususal banter, but suplimentary to them, using articles from National Geographic Magazine as prompts. Ok, now i'm really done
