There’s is nothing better than a fresh outlook on life, especially one so bluntly put–Chaplin’s awesome. I nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award because your posts, like this one, always make me stop and think.

Wow… thanks for the nomination 😀 . Haha, guess I’ve got a little bit of work cut out for me now, figuring up seven things to list about myself and picking fifteen other bloggers to nominate. Awesome!

‘Twas daunting at first for myself as well, but became surprisingly easier once I began. I wish you good fortune!

Yeah, it does seem like it can get a bit circular doesn’t it.
I do love the simplicity of it though 🙂 .

Yes, circular is one word for it. It’s certainly not as straight-forward as it seems.

Yup, Todd! The quote is a quasi-truth: it sounds epigrammatic, but an ounce of thought reveals its speciousness. Yes, desire is important, but only because desire is a facet of the real meaning. Other things are important, as well. Saying Life is this or Life is that is perhaps to miss the totality.
