I will be releasing ten posts which will, all-together, chronicle the first 100 things I have decided to put on my bucket list. Each post will contain 10 additions to the list, and there is a very good chance it will extend into the 3 to 500 range by the time the list is complete- whenever the hell that might be.
So lets get started.
1: Write at least one novel.
2: Visit the Palace of Versailles in France.
3: Release at least one music album.
4: Become a guitar 'virtuoso.'
5: Completely disappear from all of my current contacts- family, best friends, friends, acquaintances- for an entire year whilst living in a strange and new place.
6: Visit (and possibly live in) Denmark.
7: Go clubbing in New York City, Los Angeles, London, and Amsterdam.
8: Release an album of slam-poetry.
9: Get in shape.
10: Become 'enlightened,' in some way, shape, or form.

The world is meaningless,
there is no God or gods, there are no morals, the universe is not moving inexorably towards any higher purpose.
All meaning is man-made, so make your own, and make it well.
Do not treat life as a way to pass the time until you die.
Do not try to "find yourself", you must make yourself.
Choose what you want to find meaningful and live, create, love, hate, cry, destroy, fight and die for it.
Do not let your life and your values and your actions slip easily into any mold, other that that which you create for yourself, and say with conviction, "This is who I make myself".
Do not give in to hope.
Remember that nothing you do has any significance beyond that with which you imbue it.
Whatever you do, do it for its own sake.
When the universe looks on with indifference, laugh, and shout back, "Fuck You!".
Rembember that to fight meaninglessness is futile, but fight anyway, in spite of and because of its futility.
The world may be empty of meaning, but it is a blank canvas on which to paint meanings of your own.
Live deliberately. You are free.
