• So I was thinking…

  I would be a much more interesting person in terms of telling stories if dreams counted as reality. 

  I find it extremely interesting that before America was settled all the cities and towns were already here.  I know this because I always drive by this one rock that says ‘Upper Arlington: Founded 1917.”  That means people just found all these buildings already built, grouped into cities, just the way they are.  Wow.  However, the person who designed the rock with the date when they found it must have been a person who learned English as a second language because they messed up the past tense.  It should be ‘found’ not ‘founded.’  How embarrassing.  But you can’t blame them entirely; there’s no spell check in nature.  When you mispell something you carved into a tree a red squiggly line doesn’t appear beneath it.  Which is perhaps proof we’re not in the Matrix.

  Because other galaxies are so far away, it takes millions of years for the light emitted from them to be received by us on earth.  Thus, when we look at them we are really looking far into the past.  Remember that Star Wars happened ‘A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…’  Perhaps with a telescope powerful enough we could actually watch the star wars as it really happened.  In fact, maybe that’s how George Lucas came up with the story: by actually watching it.  Then he knew he had to make it unbelievable so he threw humans into the story.

  I want to collaborate with other people when I am older to build a neighborhood where all the basements are connected with tunnels.  That way it would be a true community, where people chill in each other’s basements all the time, having tons of movie-watching parties with plenty of chips and salsa, and where you can sneak into neighbors houses early in the morning to make them breakfast. 

  I’ve got waffles with my neighbor in a few hours, so farewell for now.  A good day to you all!
