I have to say, the first tentative steps we're taking into space as a collective are a move in the right direction for the survivability of the species. By 2012 the population of earth will be 7 billion peoples. Soak that in for a moment. It wasn't until 1800, that the earth reached it's very first billion human earthlings. It took another 130 years or so for the next. 1999 we reached 6 billion hairless monkeys. As you might have gathered, the increasing population of planet earth is accelerating rapidly. We're going to need a lot more room, and a lot more resources if we're going to continue to expand, industrialize, modernize, and other words with -ize as a suffix.
Lucky for us we have a space program. NASA plans on getting us back on the moon by no later than 2020, and set up a permanent base of operations. Manned Mars missions soon to follow with the construction of a long voyage exploration vehicle built in low earth orbit. Happily, when the wayward explorers arrive, they will have plenty of water. Thats right, the Mars lander found ice water and orbital observations suggest loads of it, just inches below the surface of the polar region. The lander with its scooping arms scrapped away a few inches of rusty Martian dirt to discovery white gold! (which shortly afterward began to evaporate due to Mars' low atmospheric pressure)
This is frankly exactly what I wanted to hear. Water is life! And now we have access to it far from our blue ball of a world. Water is not only useful for simple human survival, but for the oxygen our astronauts will need for their extended stay, and extra fuel (in the form of hydrogen) for when they need to leave, either in a hurry, or at their leisure. I'd prefer that they hurry up and start sending base camp construction rovers to set up a staging area for colonization right now, but as with anything, these things cost money. (ahh, to be a trillionaire)

I am feeling, highly energized this fine stormy evening. i took a drive around midnight to experience first hand the violence of the Nor'Easter that threatens to flood the east coast. It was lovely~
I dont know what it is about bad weather that always fills me with a kind of excitement and at the same time comfy warm fuzzy feelings..
i think im a disaster junkie. When the weather is so bad that civilization shuts down and everyone says, "hey, lets all stay home where it's safe and warm", and people have to huddle together.. puts a smile on my face. The sound of rain battering my window, the wind whipping through the trees, the power of nature.. of natural systems, massive beyond our conceptions.... both awe-inspiring, and terrifying, lull me to sleep.
But, i cant sleep.
im too wired.
i should make something with all these eels.
EELS!!!!
(list of things i purchased this evening at the cumberland farms during my outting):
Half gallon of milk 1%
Cumby's peanutbutter cup iced cream
honey nut cheerios
two vitamin waters Multi-V
one rockstar sugar free energy drink
a pack of american spirit lights, and marlboro mediums. (for me and lo)
>end<

I had a little misfourtune this morning, as it was the start of my usual most profitable day, and also my pay day.. and of course.. my car, cold bitter witch that she is couldnt find it in her little shrivled heart to turn over for me ... not even with the help of Mr. Merrow and his buick of doom. Battery hearts conjoined with wires .. his car humming away, whilst mine merely sputtered and coughed.. like the old hag she is. .. a pretty old hag.. with a nice leather interier and electronic dash.... but thats besides the point.
so in absence of working, i spent my day toying around with the tablet that Lorenzo got me for christmas... and i must say.. it is a fantasticle gift.
after a couple sketches.. i got the hang of it..
here is my most recent:

Life is better on my time. A night shift for me is heaven sent. I can sleep all day, awake in the eve, work for 6 hours, and then have all of the lovely lovely velvet dark (oooOOoo, cheezy gothic metaphor) to bask in. Time used to be a preditor, stalking me but, now she is a bountiful cresent, full of opportunity and entertainment, and room to expand. Thought flows freely, and my hands have time to craft that which my thoughts culled from the void. Void, it is a space in which to play, and place things. I fill up the void of time with reflections of myself. It comforts me to know i have been. I am. every second i am anew.
Revived like an immolated bird, risen from the ashes of time. |

Why o Why am i sooooooo very tired? I get plenty of sleep, and i see the sun sometimes, and it smiles on me, and we have tea, and it always asks me why i dont visit more? and why i put tinfoil in my windows to blot him out, and i'm like "dude, you're always waking me up when im trying to get a good days rest"! And he's all like, "but, yo hommie g, i loves you man"! And im all "Nuh-uh, secretly you're trying to give me the cancer! and if it wasnt for my bro O-zone, and that creepy dude down the street magnetosphere, i'd be totally dead by now"! and then the sun says "yeah, yeah, i know... but its the cancer of looooooooove.......uh...uh....yeah... booyah. cancer".
what am i on?
oh wait.... nothing...
what do i need to be on...? |

A lot of things have been running through my head as of recent. In then out, and then on to the vast infinity that is the space outside my miserable head, never to return. I've been wondering what it was that i once did. what am i becoming? I spend a majority of my time in my own head, and most of that time is spent in silence. Sad, no? Well, now and then there are pretty pictures, and some nice sounds, or music. Mostly, though i find i am empty. and i feel alone. My dreams relegated to the childhood long since past, passion pent up and repressed, motivation a sigh of longing choked by a whisping trail of smoke off then end of a cigarette i never wanted to smoke in the first place.
I've seen some beautiful things in my life. I've seen some horrible things in my life.
here are two of those things:
Waves white crested and shimmering in the brightest of suns freezing cold blues, pale horizons, sand clawing at my skin, blasted by winds from the north, the mists layered over the tormented ocean, and they traveled at varied speeds, off in the distance, pillars rose up and twisted into the fading blue. it was very cold that day. i couldnt stay out there as long as i would have liked to. the world looked like it was coming to an end, and the atmosphere was leaving us. It was bailing out before the real fun began.
of course everything was A-ok.
im still breathing. i imagine so are you.
I've seen the aftermath of an old couple hit by a car in NY city. the woman was very still, her head in a pool of her own blood. But, what i found most disturbing, was the old man, trembling, trying to stand, not yet seeing what had become of her, not yet knowing that right behind him, she was gone, and now he was alone. i saw the panic too, in the eyes of the man who struck them. Cold silent panic. i can only imagine that position he now occupied. He too was now alone. everyone there, was in-fact alone. i am, alone.
and im scared. |
