accidentally on purpose

This is a word that my sister & I & our friends all used in the 70' & 80's as kids growing up.

It meant that you did something on purpose, (possibly something you already suspected wasn't a great idea)

but a larger unexpected outcome that resulted was an accident.
I was skipping stones in the lake & I accidentally on purpose hit Christina in the head with a rock. (true story...why was I skipping stones in the direction of anyone's head!!)

In 7th grade I accidentally on purpose flooded the home ec classroom with suds because I decided to throw a bar of soap into the dishwasher to see what happened after the teacher specifically pointed out that we should only use dishwasher detergent. (true)

I accidentally on purpose got a huge burn blister on my thumb when I pressed it on the outside of the waffle iron at my godmother's house to see if the outside was also hot like the inside. (also true)

purposelessnessist

now tree pple joined the sarga
tony simon and jack..
we all realized that life is shit and pple live in a fantisy of religion, ambition, love and passion.
through our lives we found that god has blinded pple in beleaving that theres more to life and theres a purpose but there really isnt.
the abitions of money, love and faith is a bottom less hole that you fill in but it never is full.
so living to try hard leads to nowhere but to a pittiful end....
we saw the light .. the purepose less of life cant not be discribed with just this word but somehting more grender ... known as purposelessnessist
the sence of purposelessness regarding life and its down fall spiral that people realise when seeing how life does not lead to any where.
a psy chological feeling similar to comfusion cause by an external stimuli from the coures of life.
