about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote

  • "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Intelligent Life?

August 21, 2004

When I think about some of the crazy things we do as human beings, I often wonder if some highly intelligent race is looking down on Earth and studying our behaviors. If they were, what assumptions would they make from their observations of us?

We pass each other on the streets everyday and rarely acknowledge each other. Do other animals do that? My dogs always acknowledge other dogs. Birds and fish are often found in groups, and change their individual flying or swimming patterns to adjust to the group. I can think of lots of examples of mammals who work in groups for survival too.

We allow ourselves to be herded by flashing lights, painted symbols and orange cones. The light turns green, we go. The light turns red, we stop. We’ll even stop at that red light at 2:00 a.m. when there is no other traffic around us for miles. Sheep and cattle are herded by growling dogs nipping at their feet.

We feed, clothe and shelter our murders and other criminals, yet we allow our elderly and poverty stricken to suffer. We spend money to see that these same criminals are given things to improve their education, while our public school system is in serious need of reform.

We are greedy. Animals fight over territory to survive. Survival isn’t enough for us. We must always take more, even at the expense of others.

We kill each other. Not for food, as animals do, but for things that are truly meaningless.

We poison the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat, all in the name of bettering our lives. And then we destroy all the things the Earth provides us to remedy these things.

Yes, there are highly intelligent races observing us. They are the animals.

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
