during an enlightened session i discovered the meaning of life (well a theory at least)
the meaning of life is.... to wait
need an explanation? well thats all we do. we wait to got to bed we wait to get up, we wait to go to work we wait to go home, eat tea, go to the toilet in fact i bet your waiting to do something right now. arnt we a patient bunch?

i wouldn't say wait... it's more like procastanate  we put death off and just bide our time...
nothing has any meaning really, life is what you make of it! being passive will only get you what the outside world carrys to you, while you can be active and grab life by the horns!
choose to be happy, care free and busy! it's much better then waiting... and i know, i've been waiting too

Meaning of life Hmm Remember those "Shit Happens" T-shirts? This reminds me of that. "Catholicism: 'Shit happens because you were bad.'" "Judaism: 'Why does shit always happen to us?'" "Buddhism: 'This shit keeps happening over and over.'" "Zen: 'What is the sound of shit happening?'" I think it depends initially on the conditions of your birth, thereafte on what you make of your life.

Waiting isn't a meaning it's just something we do, waiting is more like a side effect of time.

yeah. waiting flies right in the face of "be here now" which is more appropriately the utility of life.
waiting is a pretty loser thing to do. even when i'm anticipating an event i don't just put myself on pause. enjoy the moment.
the movie Waiting, otoh, is an entertaining thing to enjoy while procrastinating/waiting/dying.

Waiting... to be born again Wanting... the saddest kind of pain Waiting for the day when I will crawl away Nothing is what I feel Waiting... for the drugs to make it real Waiting... for the day when I will crawl away Waiting... to be disciplined Aching... for your nails across my skin Waiting... for the day when I will crawl away

It's not to wait..
It is to accept this moment, and this moment, and this moment. Accept it for exactly what it is.

 Simisu Lawrence, you so crazy. All this talk about waiting--I get to spend this week waiting to find out if I get a job. The market doesn't have any mercy on guys needing employment in the middle of summer.

That life has some sort of set meaning or a purpose is to imply that there is some conscious outside force which dictates some universal truth concerning life. As an atheist, I just don't prescribe to there being some sort of universal meaning...
Nothing really has value in itself, rather it is the value that you as the individual place upon it. Your life is your own, to do with as you please. Some men (and women) choose to do great things, others choose to do horrible things. Its all relative though, as each of us experiences life & the universe through the eyes of the individual. When we realize this, we can create individual value and meaning to our individual lives. This is not concrete, but fluctuates with the dreams and desires of the individual.

All we have is the present moment, this exact moment in time. In fact reality itself is just one long moment, but we chose to divide it into sections; Tomorrow, Yesterday, Last Night, someday etc.
Humans spend an inordinate amount of time living in these fantasy moments instead of experiencing what is happening NOW. Anything else is mind created and has no inherent existance. So if you catch yourself "waiting" for something, in a line at the bank or waiting for a specific day to come, you are wasting the precious truth of what is right in front of you.
Ask yourself this, is what I am doing right now a means to an end, a mindless task I perform to get to a desired result? Or is what I am doing the end itself, the goal I complete with total focus and attention.

I'm doing things all the time and they pass quickly almost like because I'm busy time speeds up like it were never there... I only wait when I'm not doing anything. So, would you say that it's only the times that I'm waiting that I'm alive? Seems like time only exists when I'm waiting.
Really all this philosophical discussion leads nowhere. A dog chasing his tail so to speak.
