Today’s guest blogger is Missy Elliot

Mig asked me not to mention him when I was making my acceptance speech for the MTV “Best Video” award for my video “Work It”, and I respect his wishes, but first of all I’d like to make up for that here and say, from the bottom of my heart, Thank you Mig for the idea with the bees!

“Don’t say anything smart,” Mig said when I asked him what I was supposed to write here, so I decided to talk about the meaning of life, as what is lamer than that? In fact, although I do not like to be pigeon-holed, I would have to say that my belief that asking what the meaning of life is is the wrong question makes me more a nihilist, in some respects, than anything else.

What do you mean by life? I’m always tempted to ask in return. Because life does not exist, you see, only circumstances; and what is the meaning of circumstances? Whatever meaning you give them, is what it boils down to.

Life, schmife.
