My list of big questions

Here's me, eating my lunch (pastrami for anyone who cares), putting together my list of the big questions. Over the next few weeks and months I'll try to answer or put my own thoughts on how to answer these...

1) What is the meaning of life? It's kind of a cliche question, and "42" is not the type answer I'm looking for, irregardless of what scott adams says.

2) Is there a god? For the believers yes, for the non believers no... what's that all about.

3) What happens after you die? I know, an extension of the last question but maybe not...

4) How do you really know if he/she is the one? C'mon, this is a hard one to answer.

5) If you ate ramen for all you meals, would you really starve to death after a few months? I thought this would be a fun one to answer as the big questions don't always have to be so serious.

6) What does it mean to really exist? Existentialistic but relevant

7) How do you become wealthy? Chris rock said it the best when he says, "I'm not talking about rich, I'm talkin' about wealth... Shaq is rich but that old white guy who rights his pay check... that's wealth"

Why Blog?

I wonder that myself, but now that I'm starting my second blog I realize that this is a great thing to do. The big question is, in this ridiculously populated online world, will anyone actually stumble across this website? I'm guessing a few hapharzard clickers will find yourself here and then a few among those might actually be intrigued by the title to continue to read on.

I blog because it's a release. It's anonymous rantings of a guy who rarely rants at all. So there are things that I think about that flicker in my head and seem to be insightful but then it usually fizzles away as I think about what I'm going to eat for dinner or who I'm meeting for drinks tonight. I was thinking that I do think about the big questions as I'm sure everyone does (and they might be different questions for everyone). The big ones are the unanswerable ones but I recently just realized that though they're unanswerable, it's still worth it to keep asking.

So, I put this out to you, the haphazard and curious clicker, what are your big questions? How do you answer them? Or do you even bother?
