Steven Mullaney hates Christmas parties, I feel sick; all that ‘being nice’ stuff - I really shouldn’t drink the free red wine.

Steven Mullaney Feels this pending hangover is going to be as welcome as a Jehovah Witness with Syphilis knocking on the door at six in the morning.

Steven Mullaney Oh, how I hate you. I hate you so much it gives me energy. I have to get up early in the morning just to hate you because there's not enough time in the day!

Steven Mullaney I can put up with a lot of things; hip hop music about lip gloss, people that wear Mickey Mouse hands on hats whilst dancing to the alphabet song, people that think Cliff Richard actually exists. But Jesus Christ! How does one justify selling a Christmas dinner with only ‘ONE’ pig in blanket?

Steven Mullaney Not a problem that can't be cured with a little red wine, except leprosy perhaps.

Steven Mullaney Is feeling as random as a pink elephant eating a banana peel in a pool of spatulas baby! x

Steven Mullaney Hasn’t been this puzzled since Mr Bailey showed him a kiwifruit in 1998

Steven Mullaney thinks there’s too many people in this world, only really need about six.

Steven Mullaney is never going outside again... unless I need someplace to throw up, which may be very soon thanks to this perpetual hang-over
22 Aug 2009

Steven Mullaney is not amused, Facebook is broken, wonder if MySpace will take me back? I’ll buy some flowers.
16 Aug 2009

Steven Mullaney It’s all your fault I’m drunk, look at you all, all over the place like a nest of pigs! If I wasn’t trapped here I wouldn’t have so much to blot out.

Steven Mullaney This little piggy stayed home

Steven Mullaney Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man!

Re: Meaning of life

Oh what will of meaningness
That we hold like are own pride
Or may play are madness sins
As one stands for which side
But I do inpart believe
That madness is in heart
Although meaning is but a hope
Thus they are but of part

What is it all for; this labyrinth of delusional sentiment that incites irrational justifications? A flamboyant token of veracity is desired regardless of its contradiction. Is the reality as we know it imposed by nature? Was and is the very questioned existence conceived on a concept? There aren’t such things as music, harmony or colours in the physic world. Just traveling molecules:
"There is not, external to us, hot or cold, but only different velocities of molecules; there aren’t sounds, callings, harmonies, but just variations in the pressure of the air; there aren’t colours, or light, just electro-magnetic waves" H. Von Foerster.

Are we - and all living beings - just "survival machines, blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes", as Richard Dawkins stated? Are we incapable of knowing beyond the frames imposed to us by nature? Is there any significance for life in a Universe of billions of stars that ignore us? Is there any significance for life in a Universe whose dimensions and nature overcome our understanding?
In the words of Pascal, from the seventeenth century:

"When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity that lies before and after it, when I consider the little space I fill and I see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I rest frightened, and astonished, for there is no reason why I should be here rather than there. Why now rather than then? Who has put me here? By whose order and direction have this place and times have been ascribed to me?
