saving no money or spending it all on something you want?
having a good time?
getting high on weed for a few days?
having a child?
getting married?
reading a book?
going to the gym?
becoming promoted or succeeding college?
singing along to your favourite song?
telling your son that starcraft is great?
playing rugby in a team?
waiting for the next final fantasy?
some people are marching together and some on their own, quite alone others are running, and smaller ones crawl, and some sit in silence, we're just older children after all
And i can think of a point to everything you listed, but i guess it depends on if you think the point is worthy or not, thats all opinion tho, so whats the point?
in the big picture, ultimately, it is impossible to logically establish any purpose in life, since nothing you do will matter in a century or a millennium if you are lucky/genius. this is assuming you are not religious, of course.
but there's also no point in dying and since living is more "natural" for a living organism (biological perspective), we just continue living.
A point is a vector in some number of dimensions where each component corresponds to the distance from the origin in a direction orthogonal to the directions of all the other components. Usually we consider points in either two or three dimensions because we live in a three dimensional universe, but two dimensions can describe some phenomena that occur on a flat surface in three dimensions.
Man that's some serious existential structuralism going on. I think there's no point-- not objectively, at least. The point is what we make for ourselves. Maybe we want to change history. Maybe we want to create art. Maybe we want money and power. Maybe we want to raise children and be happy during our lives. I think this can be different from person to person.

Guttenburg was by no means a genius at all, yet he has probably been the single most influential human being in all of history.

Hence, "lucky." But, my point will still stand even if you made a contribution that will affect humanity indefinitely. Once you die, you will be no longer exist in any form and nothing that you did will matter to you.
the small things are the point. women love drugs/partying(well if it doesn't ruin your life) adventure games/nerdiness
there is no general point, we all have our own. mine is just to enjoy everything as much as i can. just be happy our life isnt shit, be happy your not a slave or a child soldier or some horrible thing. be motha effin grateful.
