What looked like a simple task turned out to be a time of struggle with few triumphs, but to succeed in my goal of self understanding I was forced to continue on. I often found my self running in circles coming upon the same ideas that I started with, never building meaning. I felt as Bartleby the Scrivener must have felt in the dead letter office, what I needed was to become unstuck in time and see what my future held.

So in my desperation for understanding I took a nap on the toilet, the two places I do my best thinking. As I sat upon my throne I fought for everything that I was worth to release this growing pressure from the pit of my stomach. I fought so hard that soon exhaustion came over me and I had to rest; sleep soon won over and my journey through space and time began.
The results of my travels reveled to me two things: one, I am a very heavy sleeper when I am on the toilet and two, Kurt Vonnegut was right about human involvement in the end of the world...So in the end I learned very little about my purpose on my expedition. So what is my purpose?
Well I like fire,
and space is really cool,
not to mention aliens,
and my very favorite, building stuff!!
So if I put all of this together...
I end up in star wars training with the Jedi and blasting away at the Sith Lords battle fleet outside the death star orbiting the Ewok's home planet!!! I don't think life could get much better for me.
Hey Ryan-- great to heare from you, and very cool intro (almost Stetenfeldian in quality). Nice Star Wars allusions, also: well done, sir.
