So, I am sitting in the office the other day, writing checks with my sister (we work for our Dad) and it kind of hits me...

Why the bloody hell am I doing this???

I mean, when I lie on my deathbed, is there going to be some crazed accountant there making sure I mailed my car payments out on time and vaccumed my livingroom once a week??

I think it's all just statistics really. The human population, that is. People get smarter with every passing generation. Not all people, of course (as evident by reality television), but each generation produces a few thousand brainiacs who go forth and bring new technology and ways to tamper with the world around us. But to get those few, and a thousand really is a few considering the world populace, humankind has to produce en masse to assure we didn't just breed a generation of morons (again, nature must be reeling over the generation that has produced The Swan and MommySwap).

So in order to get the superkids, the rest of us are left to the lot of sitting around writing checks and watching hockey to ensure that civilization continues it's evolutionary ladder.

So, basically: eat, drink, scratch yourself and be merry...for tommorow - you can do it all again!!!
