ok you're going to have to trust me on this one, but id written a really cool blog and then boom computer froze. oh i need to get another one so bad. this one is like a put together one from the various places killian worked. thanks killian's employers whoever you are. but its old. mam, dad, if you're reading. come on.
plus it would be like 400x better if i had my computer upstairs in my study
so im thinking laptop, wireless, preferable a mac.
sick of this windows crap.
back to the issue at hand
i went for a run along the seafront-serious head wind, man it was discouraging. cause ok running up a hill, you can see the top, but with a strong wind blowin against ya, it saps your energy.
good cause run is mainly flat, need some resistance.
i got down to the beach and ah! the tide was coming in, i saw starfish, the sea was this crazy color green/gray, im not sure. running down the beach i could see that the sky over howth was bright, and as the wind was coming from that direction, that would mean that my run home would be easier plus possibly catch some sunshine.
there were a couple other people out but they were all wrapped up, i was wearing shorts. dude i get hot really easily. these two older men, walking their dogs, and the dog was eating some kind of sea urchin. i love that word 'urchin'
k so this is rachel carson's 'the sea around us'
beginnings are apt to be shadowy, and so it is with the beginnings of that great mother of life, the sea. . . .
'and the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep-genesis'
when they went ashore the animals that took up land life carried with them a part of the sea in their bodies, a heritage which they passed on to their children and which even today links each land animal with its origin in the ancient sea. Fish, amphibian, and reptile, warm-blooded brid and mammal-each of us carries in our veins a salty stream in which the elements sodium, potassium, and calcium are combined in almost the same proportions as in sea water. . . . In the same way, our lime-hardened skeletons are a heritage from the calcium-rich ocean of Cambrian time. . . . And as life itself began in the sea, so each of us begins his individual life in a minature ocean within his mother's womb, and in the stages of his embryonic development repeats the steps by which his race evolved, from gill-breathing inhabitants of a water world to creatures able to live on land (14).
its magic writing man, combination of things i love, writing and biology, a synergy of sorts. very much recommend
i also think
that
george w. bush should be impeached
not censured.
impeached
this is way beyond an extra-marital affair. and i know that comment is not entirely accurate/inflammatory. but seriously.
what is it going to take?
