Hey! I watch tv, play video games, and get drunk on weekends. I also have a girlfriend, friends, a new kitten to look after. Oh and I have multiple side projects I work on while having a full time job.

Just because people do one thing doesn't mean they don't do other things.

You are good.He is only talking about people who only do one thing.

Yes, thank you. It wasn't obvious from my post, but I'm not against having fun, per se. Rather, I'm talking about drifting aimlessly, with no clear direction or purpose. And that direction or purpose doesn't have to be work related, or even creative. I have a lot of respect for people who make their families the center of their lives, for example.

Well that's nice for you. Maybe God will come down one of these days and tell everyone their Purpose.

Except, no, wait, not gonna happen, so show some respect for the existentially purposeless, please.

That's the most lovely and exciting thing about life! No one will ever tell you your purpose so you're free to pick your own. You can have any purpose you want, you can freely choose! Not only that but you can change it anytime you want so no need to feel trapped either. My grandmother is one of my role models, after being a housewife her entire life she started writing in her late 60's and became a successful author. It's never too late =)

I study (university), browse sites like HN and watch TV shows online. That's pretty much it.
