I decided to put 'life' into my title (haha hahahahaa hoo haa) just so it's as generic as any other brand blog i.e. life sux, life is gud, life in the shoes of a Gentoo Penguin, etc but with a little lily touch its my own :)
I wanted to start with an official definition of Life because Life is so complex and dynamic with lateral meanings. Think about it this way, Life is pretty much what we are, and what we wish to be every morning after that extended trip into slumber.
But I went to Answers.com anyway for some 'answers' (hahah haaaaaahaha I'm a natural comic)

What is Life? Answers.com please tell me:
What is Life? (Schrödinger)See also: Gibbs free energy (What is Life?)
What is Life? is a non-fiction book on science for the lay reader written by physicist Erwin Schrödinger (ISBN 0521427088). One of the discoverers of the DNA molecule, Francis Crick, credited What is Life? as a theoretical description, before the actual discovery of DNA, of how genetic storage would work and a source for inspiration for the initial research.[1]
In the book, Schrödinger introduced the idea of an "aperiodic crystal" that contained genetic information in its configuration of covalent chemical bonds. In the 1950's This idea both stimulated enthusiasm for discovering the genetic molecule and could be seen (in retrospect) as having been a well-reasoned theoretical prediction of what biologists should have been looking for during their search for the genetic material.
