It means different things at different times. In my teens and 20s, life meant smoking pot, sex, rock music, reading, hanging out with friends, camping, motorcycling, and attempting to have as much fun as possible.
Later it meant other things.
My friend's explanation is one i return to;
Maximize pleasure/minimize pain

Well I think the meaning of life is to fulfill our duties in this world with the gift the Holy Spirit gave us. God placed us on this Earth to do just that. I suggest reading Purpose Driving Life, if you have more questions.

The meaning of life? Life means exactly what ever defionition you give it.
The greatest gift Divinity could bestow ( or the single greatest act of love for that matter) was to give you sentience and a life and let you decide what to do with it. Divinity's greatest Joy is to watch you live.

There isn't an exact answer. Noone knows. It's our nature to weave meaning into place and live the way we see fit. That's all I'm going to say. I could type more than 4 pages concerning this issue but there is no way in hell I'm going to do that right now.

LIFE – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it..
I believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.
You need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.
The meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us..

The opposite of death. Being animate, having self awareness. That is the 'meaning'-if you mean what is the purpose, that is an entirely different question. :O)
