| | yeah these days i keep it pretty low key. to very little fan fare i celebrated my 27th birthday. those who remembered called or texted me to wish me a happy birthday and to those i thank them for even remembering such a thing. no i am not one of those people who feels slighted by a few people forgeting my birthday. I did absolutely nothing for my bday. the morning of my bday i woke up to a happy bday message from my girlfriend. most of my nieces and nephews called me to wish me a happy bday. my coworkers helped my celebrate my bday by bringing in donuts and things of the sort. one of my coworker baked some cookies and when i tell you tha this lady can bake she can bake like no one I have ever known in my life. put it this way if she came out with a line of baked goods i would emphatically endorse such a product. I came home from work my aunt called me to tell me that she made me a pan of lasanga as my gift (damn good gift if you ask me). the simplicity of the day made me happy. it was so simple in fact i went to bed before 11pm yesterday.
usually i spend my bday by myself or with family (that includes close friends). this year i chose to spend my day by myself. some people consider me a social butterfly but truth is i am a loner by nature. oddly enough i did come to find on cbs morning news that new jersey became a british colony (they took the land from the dutch) on june 24 1664. no sure how accurate it is but the state website does corroborate this fact somewhat in fact stating that this territoy became a british colony in 1664. the exact date it doesn't say and i don't feel like doing the research to confirm such a thing.
my thoughts on 27 years being earth bound..
I respect facts for what they are. however, there are too many people purposely spinning facts in order to propriotize truth.
it looks like breadth as opposed to depth is the winner of the information age.
I feel sorry for libraries. people rarely go into libraries anymore. i still get giddy as all hell when i see a building full of books. I also become humbled as I realize that there is a lot out there that i don't know no or cannot even begin to understand. and at this age I am thinking I have become fine with that.
I still believe that humanity has made a mockery of love. perhaps in a few hundred thousand years (if humans are still around at that point) they will better be able to understand such phenomona.
I am deathly afraid that humans are messing on a terrain that they know very little about. from what i understand about life, creation is a very special gift giving to a very few species. humans have done a great job at creation to mimicry. however, I am certain they are going too far with trying to create intelligent life forms with human characteristics. what will humanity do when it has made itself obsolete?
it seems to me that we are always on the go and just doing things that we rarely take the time to think. I understand the concept of making decisions in a world with imperfect/incomplete information or even instinct for that matter however, the amount of ready, fire, aim that is is going on in this society will be the end of us as we know it.
I am no environmentalist to say the least but when a species has not only polluted its land,water, and air but has found a way to pollute space as well one said species may need to rethink its modus operandi.
we are in a serious need of people who will ask better questions and not willing to accept bullshit answers.
piece and blessings yall.
