Pointless

Sir, if you think that that's an unrealistic goal, you better look around a little more carefully on your next porn-surfing session. That particular aspiration got ticked off my checklist long, long ago.
On topic though, why? Working toward the goal still does provide actual, tangible self-improvement and benefit for others, so what's wrong with it?
Please, please be open-minded about the forthcoming PM.

Hey, I'm not the one that labeled it as an impossible goal. You are. I don't know why you can't just go rent a clown suit a goat and a monkey and get your deed done... apparently you're "blocked" in some way. I feel for you. Just not very much.
Personally I like to find constructive things to do, and keep busy with them. Then again, I don't mind sitting around watching movies or such, but that's after a full day of work.
The last year or two, pretty much all I've done on damn near any given weekend is party. The odd weekend I've gotten away from that and helped a friend with a project, or hung out with friends who don't drink. Last week, I decided I didn't want to party on the weekend. Two of my brothers have a custom combining business, and right now they're in full swing. So last week when I decided I didn't want to party this weekend, I asked if I could help them on the weekend at all.
Turned out that I went out there on Friday evening, and started to learn how to drive a big truck. I have my learner's license for big truck, but I've never really had the chance to actually try to drive one. Friday evening, I was quite tired, but got it half figured out. By the time we shut down Saturday evening, I was getting pretty decent at it. And by the time we finished (for the day) on Sunday, I was getting damn decent at shifting either the 13 or 18 speed transmissions.
Sure, there can be a fair bit of sitting around waiting when you're driving truck at harvest. But for me, I was having a good time cuz I was busy doing something helpful. Sure, I didn't get much sleep over the weekend so I'm dead tired and should be sleeping now, but the weekend gave me a feeling of accomplishment that I haven't had from a weekend in a long time! And, on top of that, instead of spending money on booze and smokes, I actually made a few hundred bucks!
So I guess what I'm sayin' with all that, is that you may simply have to find something to do that's constructive in some way. Something that gives you a feeling of accomplishment. Something that makes you feel useful. Somehow that "something" may just add at least a little bit of meaning to your life!

Ok, ok, I get what you're trying to do, and I appreciate it. The problem is that my goal is to solve all the world's problems myself because everyone else is either taking their sweet-ass time, doesn't know how, or doesn't fucking care.
The "block" is that it is physically impossible for one person to rent a clown suit (gather millennia of experience and research and understanding of a myriad of topics and store it in one brain), buy a monkey (attain the physical skill to perform the many killings and evasions of capture and arrest that this would require) and then fuck the goat (and do it properly, especially doing the right and moral thing in each and every case).
See, even typed out it looks fucking dumb. I want to eradicate cancer, kill every violent criminal, solve economic issues to an extent that petty crime stops happening, improve life in Africa or else stop them from procreating if they won't let go of their outdated myths about raping girls to cure AIDS, and end this godforsaken war before another American younger than myself has his or her arms blown off or a building full of innocent children is atomized thanks to "faulty intelligence."
Can't help it. That's just what I wanna do. :happysad:
Nice thing is, I see myself progressing towards this absurd goal by learning as much as I can about everything I can, and going through physical training. This is beneficial to me as a student and helps me along in my career goal as an FBI agent as well, so what's the harm? At least I'm doing something instead of despairing and whining like some emo fag, right?
Oh, speaking of which, did you hear about my and Awaken's awesome new idea? EMODOME. It's going to be the new PPV sport. One hard-working, pissed-off average Joe in a cage match, throwing down against ten or twenty sobbing emo pussies.
Now, who wouldn't pay top dollar for a front-row seat to see CL slam this little shit's head into a post?

Life is whatever you choose to make it.
That's exactly it. Nothing less and nothing more.
You can choose to whine about how pointless it is or get off your lazy ass and make it pointed.
Dan Ackroyd knows about pointed.
