Happy Birthday Kami!
Brandy Alexandre wrote: The Kamikaze Kitty, better known as Kami, celebrates her 18th birthday today. Old enough to vote! She's still a bit frail from her recent bouts of illness, but she's bright, alert, interested and still rules the house. I'm not sure how much time we have left, but it's quite a ride. This morning she celebrated her birthday with a trip to the vet for a checkup. She doesn't find that much of a gift, but it was pricey. -- Brandy Alexandre -- Everything tastes better with cat hair in it. =^.^= So the earth has traveled around the sun 18 times since a new biological form slid into the world.... So what? Time is irrelevant. IBen |

So what? Time is irrelevant. Yeah, but silly us, we like to comemmorate ridiculous things. I couldn't agree more.. Makes us believe we're special somehow to have memory over all of god's other creatures. Now you're being sarcastically facetious. That or you're an arrogant fool. What makes you think that you are somehow special because you choose to remember ridiculous things? Your cat can remember. At least, mine does. But they don't seem to give a rat'z azz about things that are totally irrelevant. They so much more prefer to live in the moment. Just like you should. You care about time, do you... Then think about this... In 6. 5 billion years, the earth will be totally destroyed by the sun when it goes red giant. And there's no stopping it. Nothing of this world will remain. Nothing to attest to our struggles, to our hopes and to all of our puny little lives (including Kami). It will all be rendered meaningless within the bat of an eye. All this ****, and in end the end, it won't matter at all. Now, as far as time goes, I think that's a whole helluva lot more relevant and a might bit less ridiculous that whooping and shouting about a fragile short-lived creature's life-span! More fun facts for those of simple mind to ponder... Our sun is only one of over 5 billion 'suns' in this galaxy alone. It revolves around the center of the milky way at a speed of over 67,000 mph. In turn, the milky way galaxy itself revolves around the center of the ever-expanding universe at a speed of over 265,000 mph. Thanks to the Hubble space telescope, we have learned that what were once thought to be stars are actually thousands of clusters of other galaxies, so ****ing far away that it is totally incomprehensible. If life were some how be miraculously discovered on our sun's closest neighboring star system, it would take us over 4 years just to get there to say 'hi'. That is, if we could travel at the speed of light (286,000 miles per second). Right now, the best we can do is 12. And another thing... In one hundred and eighty years +/-, nobody you will have known in your life-span will be alive, so it'll be just like you never lived to begin with! Doesn't that make 18 years seem like such a totally short time? The live oak tree in my back yard will have grown a little thru it all, though. I hope I have been able to put your kat's birthday (and the inane practice of celebrating it) into a little better perspective 4 U, Brandy. It proves that I'm 'special somehow' over people who waste their times with utter useless trivialities... Like YOU. Only God didn't make me like this... I did. IBen 52 yrs, 2 months., 3 wks., 4 days, 14 hrs, 2 mints. and 59 secs. old, since you seem to care Getiner |
