P - Purpose

Purpose: thing, concept

My purpose in life (beyond, actually probably even 'before,' passing on my genetic code) is to read all 17,000+ Peanuts comic strips in order. Not necessarily in one sitting (at least I don't think so, it might be at one sitting, I'll know when I get there), but in a short period of time. A year or two after I realized that this was my reason for existing Fantagraphics announced that they were publishing The Complete Peanuts in 25 volumes, 2 per year. The Halfway mark is crossed this month. This, then, gives me a timeline for my purposeful existence: I will complete my purpose in March of 2016.

I used to think that my pupose was to listen to every version of the song "Lie in Our Graves" (by Dave Matthews Band) that featured Bela Fleck on Banjo, but the interwebs made that one too easy to accomplish (I did it last september).
