Though philosophers and thinkers of all ages, types, genders and ethnicities have been contemplating the question sense the very early days of the written word, no one has come up with a satisfactory answer to the question,

"What is the meaning of life?"

The multicultural diversity of modern American culture is mirrored in the plethora of different "answers" to this question that can be found by an earnest conversation with any Joe off the street. The really striking issue, however, is that though most people consider their answer to be "the one" or at least "sufficient."

The very notion of this is misdirected: if there were a single correct answer, not only would no one wonder about the question, but life would be measurably less interesting and everyone would have the same goals, interests and fears. The search to a solution to this problem, then, becomes the meaning of life, but it can still fill any thinker with despair and confusion.

The search itself is, unfortunately, interrupted rudely by the annoyances of daily life such as a chainsaw.
