Re: does the pointlessness of your life bother you?
I haven't read the thread but the title is enough:
1) Don't contemplate this stuff. It's the reason religion is as popular as it is.
2) You won't find an answer by thinking about it. And throughout history any "answer" that someone has found has either been something that can't be proven until dead or just silly.
3) Yes, number 1 above is hard to do when you are self-aware (a lot of times I wish I was that kid that no grasp of anything than the current moment)
4) If you live by some spimple rules (ie don't kill/rape/steal) you are likely going to do fine whatever the case may be
5) If you do end up thinking about this stuff (it's inevitable for someone with a reasonably imaginative mind as well as those who NEED answers) then write out some thoughts, read a book or two, but don't jump in too deep because in the end everything has seemed to be pointless
6) If you find you can't get your mind off of a topic, start focusing on something concrete (photography, sculpting, running, writing, comedy, movies). Anything to get yourself out of your own [censored] head.
