I'd rather live longer than inspire a bunch of people I don't care about well past when I've ceased to care. I would say that its getting what you can out of life while you can that counts but even thats wrong. Nothing counts.Emooooooo Raaaage!!!
Someone has read way too much Camus...
Never heard of him (or her), thats just my interpretation of the world, taking my Athiesm to its logical conclusion. Fact is, I've structured my whole life on becoming a writer so I can leave a part of myself behind that'll last forever, shortly after I converted. I've only recently figured out how pointless that is. I'm still gonna do it though, just cuz I think I have something to say and I might as well say it.
I'll look into this Camus though, should be interesting.
Edit: Wth? This guy sounds nothing like me.
Edit: Yep, he likes football, screw him.

He was one of the major existentialist philosophers of the 20th century (despite his denial), up there with the likes of Sartre and Dostoevsky
Perhaps you should actually read his stuff. In teams of all things being meaningless I would read his Myth of Sisyphus (excellent book).
