42

Yep... another number-based title to a blog post. Surprised? You shouldn't be. (Side note: this post could somewhat be considered the sequel to a post I wrote last November.)

I've been thinking recently... a lot. Friendships, school, my future in life, the meaning of life/the universe/everything (side note: it just now clicked in my head that Coldplay has a song called "42" on Viva la Vida. I don't get out much.), et cetera. Ok maybe not the 42 part... but this isn't why I'm here writing tonight.

Another of those things that I've been thinking about is my contribution to my friends and acquaintances. While I do want to be a part of what others are doing, more than that I want to (slash try slash sometimes fail at) leave something meaningful behind, through what I say and do, for the people around me. An extension of this, at least in my mind, is to not keep clogging the airwaves of life (so to speak) with mindless chatter (which is part of the reason that I haven't been very active here on the blog recently).

The obvious question that follows is... how do I accomplish this dual-sided goal of providing meaningful contributions while not wasting people's time? As an INTJ (translation: I over-analyze everything), I have tried and failed to succinctly figure out how to do this. Working towards a goal is kinda tough when you don't have directions to get there (I also don't like not knowing information that I think I need to know). But you can bet the farm I'm still gonna try!
