On A Tangent

The dictionary definition of a tangent is simply "a line which touches or intersects a curve at one point and touches the curve only once". Philosophers speak of life as a circle. Yet a circle can be created from an infinite number of tangent lines put together, each with a unique slope. The stories are all different, but they create a single life. In an attempt to find my life's story, writing seems the only way to see the full circle through its infinite number of tangent lines.

Simple Question

I didn't expect to be posting anything this late, but I have something that has been bugging me all day. A simple question...

So I've been reading the blog of another Tarheel. Someone I don't know personally, though I have learned quite a bit through his blog. My one question is: How can someone I don't even know make me feel like my life is so insubstantial and unproductive?

A question that may leave me brooding all night...
