Read the title……..done!!

Ahhhh so you came back then did you?

Well let’s crack on then shall we?

We’ve covered the fact I want to know what the meaning of life is and that I have a pleb for an uncle and we’re having pie and mash for tea but there’s more.

“Mom, did you iron my grey shirt?”

Ah my elder brother with one of the biggest questions in his life.

I mean I guess I could try to get his opinion,but he’ll probably just tell me to sod off.

“Hey could I ask if?”

“Sod off will you!”

See!!

In my life there are two things I am certain of with my brother; being told to sod off is one of them.

“Are you still here? Bugger off!!”

Yep and there’s the other one.

It would be pointless asking him anyway, he’s a kind of live for the moment kind of guy.

Wait though……you could say he lives life to the full then, or you could say he’s wasting his life couldn’t you, could you?  Why do I have to question each question I ask myself. What the hell am I on about??

Another bloody question!!

“Why are you talking to yourself?”

“I asked the weirdo that too!”

Great now my brother and uncle UG are ganging up on me, time to get out of here!

Right, away from the rabble and on with the pondering in peace and quiet, where I can relax.

“Oh god I’m going to be late!!”

Hmmmm maybe not then!

That’s my sister or as I have affectionately come to refer to her…….The tart!

“What did you call me!?”

Oh yeah that’s right she can hear me too……..Oh crap!

“I asked what you called me!”

“What are you on about?”

“Did you call me a tart??”

“No I said, I have to fart!”

“That’s gross, why would I want to know that?”

“I don’t know…….I’m sharing.”

“Oh just sod off will you!”

That sounds familiar.

“What?”

“Nothing I’m going, I’m going.”

    The meaning of life…..hmmmmm.

    I’d have to say I’m as confused as you are, since I think we all wonder. Don’t we take on others meanings from different others too much? But hey-maybe they’re right…but then again maybe not.

    Could be pretty accurate that different people have different opinions and different aspects to the same question, so there you go…who the hell knows?

    Some religious, others scientific. Some all about self, self satisfaction, others about giving. Some about inner self happiness, others about making others happy…..oh and lets not forget the majority’s meaning of life-the all powerful dollar, buck, money, cash, dinero-and much of it….go figure!
