Otherworldly wonder

I’m completely fascinated with the night sky. On a clear night I can’t help but stop and look up at the stars, often for long periods. I just lose myself in wonderment.

 

I’m not sure I find it so alluring, but I genuinely could just stare away at the stars for hours without realising.

I often wonder if humanity are alone in the universe, or is there life out there somewhere?

 

I’m not a “true believer” or anything, but I do feel there has to be some form of life elsewhere, surely. I mean, the universe is no small place, for Earth to be unique in its sustaining life would be… well I don’t how to describe it but you know what I’m getting at.

 

I can’t help but feel that the scientists are bit narrow minded when it comes to astrobiology, always looking for signs of life as we know it. I always wonder why life elsewhere seems to have to conform to the way it works on earth. Who’s to say there isn’t some alternate form elsewhere, that happened under different conditions. Looking at bacteria, it’s quite possible, right?

Days forever gone

I've touched on this before, but I think I need to revisit the past once more.

I'm not going to lie, I really miss being a kid. Everything was just so much simpler back in the day. I had nary a thought of the wider world, and everything was well. (Or at least so I thought).

They say youth is wasted on the young, but from I stand, those years may not seem like much at the time, but when you get older, the memories become cherished.
Nothing quite compares to the naivety of a child, I feel. Their innocence is enviable.

I often contemplated keeping a diary in my younger years, but I never got around to a proper effort. I regret this now of course, as all I have are scattered memories.

I'm only 20 and already world weary....what is the world coming to?

The end of TRF?

TheRexFactor.

The name most of you reading this will likely know me by. I've used it, or some derivation of it, for most usernames I've made over the past year.

However, over that same period I've come to detest it. Go me, creating a name that I now find irksome. Why oh why did I have to use it for so much?

I'm not sure why I've come to dislike it so much, but I really do dislike it now. I may need to change things...

Where has all the time gone?

This is my first post post in a while, no?

One has to love the hectic life that occurs in families in the process of a divorce. My mom somehow managed to rope me into living with her (as opposed to with grandmother, with whom I had been staying with for the two months prior). Hence I've been lacking 'net access due to the location of the house.

I was going to go on about how deluded my father is...(I haven't seen him in those same two months), but I can't be bothered anymore really. Mellowing is fun.

Anyway, I really can't keep track of the time anymore. I only have Uni on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays atm, and once I'm done on Thursday, the rest of the days until Tuesday following just melt away.

I have a PS3 again at least. Sony failed me completely so we just got a new one. It all worked out in the end.

That said, things look set to get a lot tougher in future, but I'll go into detail next time.
