My Final Day On Earth


If the entire world population was being transferred to a space colony I would choose one of two new lifes. My first choice would be to stay on Earth with family and friends that would be willing to live with me. In this scenario, we would try to live sustainable lives and initiate the beginning of a new civilization. The pollution would slowly go away and we would work to resupply resources without consuming them too rapidly. My second choice would be to spend my last day on Earth doing as I please and then boarding a shuttle that provides transportation to the new space colony. The first thing I would do is take pictures of the Earth that will soon be abandoned for documentation. Next, I would scavenge valuable items and information that could potentially be beneficial for myself and those at the space colony. I would exchange the valuable items for currency inorder to provide food, water, shelter, and space for my family. The valuable information has great potential, perhaps the information contains fairy tales that would be told to the new generations who live at the space colony. Maybe the information shows and explains how to fix a refrigerator. There are many possibilities as to what the information contains. I would try to retrieve information from the ruins of Earth's previous civilizations that would be greatly beneficial for those at the space colony. Hopefully we never deplete our resources to the point where we have to move all of Earth’s population to a crowded space colony. Instead we should focus on living sustainably so this event never occurs.

    Seven Disturbances


    Much soap on my face
    It’s these times when time doesn't fly
    When it stings my eyes

    Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
    You manage to save my life
    But not my damn ears

    The grass grows too fast
    At least it can never last

    My Empty Mind and Place

    In all of my known world, I would venture to the high deserts spanning the western United States. For me, to truly escape is not only to escape one's setting, but to escape all burdens.
  • The abstract concept of Entities


    While some may say that extraterrestrial entities simply do not exist, others are very much convinced that they do indeed exist such as I. One may come to a conclusion based entirely off of where their information proceeds from.
