The 'Big Picture'. The grand scheme of things. The unified theory of everything. The overarching claim. The true meaning. The.....*gulp*.......purpose of everything. What. Is? The. Purpose? Of. Everything? Jeeze,why don't you just shoot me now. Seriously, you expect me, a human being, to determine the purpose of everything? Nope. No way. Not gonna happen. Not now, at least.
But maybe...
You have taken the time to think about a purpose...
And you think, "Oh, yea, that sounds reasonable/logical/plausible/etc." But right when you think you've made some kind of philosophical progress, YOU GET SLAPPED IN THE FACE BY MR. POSSIBILITY. He tells you: "Oh, no. That may sound reasonable.... But have you considered this possibility?". You put in all this effort to support your original claim but Mr. Possibility keeps countering with his divergent alternatives.
Then he rants on about the fact that all things are possible; even the impossible. Which, I guess, suggests that there are things that are not possible; even though he just said anything was possible. That dick.
No one likes Mr. Possibility. He's always ruining the moment. Someone comes to a great conclusion in their life, then they get slapped. Yes, Mr. Possibility is "that" guy.
I do believe, however, that we should give Mr. Possibility some credit. He seems to be the only one who actually realizes how vast our world really is. Maybe we should think like Mr. Possibility.
So what am I actually saying? >Even when you've figured everything out, there's always more questions to be asked. There are SO many questions to ask. What's the purpose of having a purpose? What's the purpose of having a purpose for the purpose of a purpose?......... Purpose?
Should we limit ourselves to only one "idea" for each and every thing in the world? Why settle for cake when you can have coffee as well?
There are infinite possibilities and there are no possibilities.
There's always a larger frame of reference for whatever you're looking at.
You can always take a picture of another picture. No matter the detail.

There's a first time for everything, eh?
When was your first blog? Mine is today. I'm actually really nervous, and excited! This wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. Ya know, making the whole "blog" thing. Anyway. Phew. Yea, I'm nervous. Boy, am I nervous! Well, I suppose I'll start with a short introduction of myself: My name's Dex Lamplot (I know, it's a sweet name) and I'm a student at New York University. GO VIOLETS!! I like math, science, and overcast skies. I'm originally from Boston (believe it or not) where there are only like four tall buildings. Being in NYC is SO much cooler. There are SO many tall buildings in New York, and so much culture! I need to wear a rain jacket just to shield myself from the pouring culture that falls from the sky. You need a iPhone app just to avoid the rush of culture that comes in at 5PM every day. But really, the city is large, diverse, and bumpin. Much cooler than Boston. One of my favorite activities to do in the city is running. I love to run. Distance. That's all me. I started cross country in middle school—been running ever since. I even ran in the Boston marathon last year with my mom. You're jealous I know. So now I run on the cross team for NYU. It's quite swell. We're a chill group of guys, running, far, running. Yup. I also enjoy music. Yes, I will point out the fact that pretty much everyone enjoys music—but I REALLY enjoy music. I mean "really" like it. I play guitars and pianos all the time. I own a pair of Bose headphone. I have been to a Rush concert (Neil Pert ftw). Music = love = running. So, yea, music = running I suppose... music equals running.
