The Meaning of One Life


For my first post as guest blogger here at Demi Spaghetti I decided to get something off my chest right away: I am a mortal. Admittedly, I sometimes wish I wasn't, and for that I blame video games with their constant intrigue of multiple lives. Even outside the realm of video games some people are lucky enough to figure out how to achieve multiple life with their time here on earth - by establishing a second family on another continent, subscribing to "Having Multiple Lives" on Facebook, starring in a slasher movie, abandoning their Livejournal personality for a Blogspot one, or dunking in the holy water of a second baptism - but neither I nor this blog are one of them. As ill luck would have it, we mortals have to do with what we are given and though we may from time to time suffer existentialist crisis - gosh darn it I'll wear a hair shirt if we let this blog die. For those of us laying down at night riddled with questions about the meaning of life, wondering how we got here, what is our purpose, how come our favorite blog hasn't posted in weeks, and how many times you'll have to go back to the first world for more 1ups to save the Princess - this one's for you.
