"For some people, this wouldn't be interesting. For me, though, it's a kick" In a nutshell, this is why I find your assertion that most people live "lame ass lives" quite callous. A lot of the things you've listed as "interesting" things you've done in your life sound to me kinda dull and pointless. But that's fine - it's your life and if there is anyone to say "Fuck Em" to, it's people who pass judgement on your life. For the record, I ran a successful company at 22, made a lot of money and have traveled extensively. But those experiences I've had are no more valuable than your experiences with your kids on the My Life Is Amazing, Look At Me Index (MLIALAMI). I know one guy who is ridiculously thrilled with his life as a professional Starcraft II player. And another who is an amazing mathematician who loves his work and who probably wouldn't trade places with any of us. Happiness and satisfaction in life isn't defined along a one dimensional axis or measured by variation from the beaten path. Want to travel the beaten path? Loving it? Keep doing it, and fuck anyone who says your life is lame.
