Scott Kennel is in his first year of Professional Writing at Algonquin College. Now almost two years out of high school, he spent his first year of freedom travelling, spending one month in Paraguay and Brazil, three months trekking west through Canada, and three months in South Africa.
His pastimes include reading, writing short stories and contemplating the limits of human existence.
He hopes to become a writer, supplement his salary with miserable jobs and travel the world whenever his heart calls to somewhere else.
Life is strange, and the many weird things in this world often lead people to unusual philosophies. I have some uncommon ideas of my own.

We get up and start walking across the football field. At other end Laura, Caitlin and Dianne are sitting under the trees. We pass them and go down into the ditch with the long grass; they didn’t look at us. I glance over to the asphalt to see if there are any teachers—they don’t like us poking around in the ditch. Mr. Derry is walking the other way and he won’t see us.

Happiness. That’s what everybody wants right? That’s what everybody’s looking for. They may all be doing it in their own way, but the end goal is the same. Everybody wants to live a happy life.
But they shouldn’t.

Thursday, January 27, 2011 at 8:48AM Philosophers, writers, religious teachers—basically anybody who thinks about the world around them—tend to come up with some pretty weird ideas about the nature of the human experience, the things that humans should value and strive for and even the physical and metaphysical (beyond physical) nature of the universe.
