Space… the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. To explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before…… o.0 What!! Aren’t I allowed to be a trekky too?
I don’t know if you all know this but there is a meteor shower happening right now! I think it’s still visible for about 2 or 3 more days so what are you waiting for? All you need is a hot cup of joe, a warm blanket, someone or something to cuddle and a dark clear patch of dirt to lay down on. The only draw back is that it’s best seen at 2am. Well there’s that and the skeeters that might get you lol. go to bed early and set an alarm to get up at 1 just so you can pop out and take a peak, it’s a really cool sight and who knows when we might get another chance to see it. (ok perhaps a few space fanatics would but I sure don’t)
I was lucky enough to of gone out this past weekend to the middle of literally butt f#%k no where and watch the meteor shower with a few friends. It was kind of spur of the moment. We were all sitting around after dinner around about 8 and decided that a meteor shower was the perfect amount of excitement that we needed. So off we went all cramming into the hottest car alive, a 1990 Dodge Shadow! complete with aerodynamic adhesive tape to keep the sunroof from leaking yay!! (also known as duck tape LMFAO) we headed out to the most rural area we could find and drove around to find the perfect location. We pulled out all our blankets and sleeping bags, got all set up just to discover that regrettably the best time for viewing is in fact 2 am. Which wouldn’t be for another 4 hours lol. Sooooo off to the movie theatre we went. We decided through a very devilish and ingenious forum of analysis (also know as it was the only one that hadn’t already started when we got there lol) to go see ‘the sorcerers apprentice’. Now it wasn’t a bad movie per say…. it was funny and corny. It was just rather childish in a very basic way. It was however the perfect way to waste time out in the middle of no where. Finally 1 am rolled around it was time to go find our special spot once again and watch.
As I lay there all wrapped in a warm sleeping bag cuddled up with Kinzie I couldn’t help but stare up at the nights sky and wonder. What’s out there in the far reaches of space? Are we all that there is in this big nothingness? Is there other life out there? Are they friendly? If the stars are what is directly above and around us, if we have seen what is between us and space, then where is heaven? Does it in fact exist? If so where? If it does not in fact exist then what happens to us when we die? Where do we go? what happens to us when we get there?
All of these plus many more questions floated through my head as I lay there surrounded by warmth, love and friendship. I felt very small in size, yet at the same time I felt that my thoughts and ideas were growing exponentially. I guess I’m not the first person to sit beneath the stars and ponder the heavens, the earth and beyond. Now back at home sitting at my little computer writing this blog, I can’t help but still wonder. Is it all a lie? Who’s right? Does science win out because it has more solid proof? Is heaven a myth? Or are they both right and wrong at the same time?
All I know is there is way to much speculations circling this world for us to ignore. I worry that to write off all that is speculated as false is foolish, dangerous and perhaps self destructive. The Mayan’s calendar speaks of the ending of the world, of the worlds transformation as we know it, come 2012. They’re ruins depict aliens and space travel, how could they know of this stuff? All I know is that there are an offaly lot of unanswered, unexplained questions and phenomenons out there. I can’t help but wonder and question my own knowledge of the world.
Sorry guys I know I just got a little deep and philosophical on you all, but I can’t help but have these questions still floating through my head a few days later. Either way I guess we will all find out soon enough what is meant to be. I simply believe that what will be will be, just life each day to the fullest and never ever leave something unsaid. No matter how hard or embarrassing it is to say to someone, if you love them then tell them everyday.
I’m just finishing up some house work and trying to tidy up a bit here and there. It’s way too Fing hot in my place to even think about moving, let alone caming. So sorry boys n girls no MFC today 
But not to worry I will be on early tomorrow morning around 10am pst 
Watch my twitter for the final say. Don’t forget I have my FREE members chat tonight at 10 pm est. Be there or be square
That was a fun little blurb. Definitely didn’t expect to have a nerdy trek post waxing philosophical about the wonder and mysteries of space, time, science, and religion. It’s fun to think about and the imagination can dream up thousands of possibilities. It is very humbling and especially when you visit a planetarium that flies you through virtual star systems. I took a date to Adler planetarium once and heard these three old, rather large ladies say “they ain’t gonna be talkin bout goin to mars when JEEEEzuss comes back” to which two of the friends simultaneously said “MMMMMMmmmmHMMMMM.” hahaha.
Science doesn’t know everything nor does it claim to. Religion on the other hand, well, it claims to know way more than has been proven to be true. I find it nice to be spiritual and feel blessed for the life I live (which is awesome, btw… i love my life) and at the same time be smart enough to accept scientific facts without pointing to a couple thousand year old regurgitation of events long since past and in no way provable.
Not sure what all this is about free members chat, though. Free and members are contradictory, no? I suppose I’ll keep programming instead. Got stuff to finish!
You know I think there are times that we all look up at the stars and wonder everything that you have thinking about. There are times I watch shows on the History Channel that make me question a lot of things. Theres one thing I know, is that there is knowledge out there and I want to learn as much of it as I can. Also there is nothing wrong with asking these questions and there is nothing wrong in believing in one thing while gaining as much knowledge as you can…I feel it makes you a stronger believer (if after gaining the knowledge you still believe in whatever you believe in). And sorry I couldn’t make your members chat, a little bit of craziness going on, but hope you had a great time.
That’s true Kbfan, I think that it is important to still believe in what ever you believe in (let it be science, aliens, religion, the Mayan’s, ect) but to still remain open to new thoughts and ideas. It’s important to seek out knowledge in all it’s forums and to remain open to the idea of change. Not to worry kbfan if you missed the members chat it will be up in the archives section of my site before the end of the week.
I’ll be on MFC from 10 am est till roughly 2pm est today if you want to stop by 
LOL thanks JG. I know I tend to surprise people with my star trekkian ways. Not only am I a star trek fan, but I also LOVE love love Star Wars, the Lord of the Rings, Battle Sar Galactica, Willow! (yay that’s right I said Willow) and a whole slew of classics. I have actually been to the local planetarium and recently too
It was pretty cool! I love to just lay back and stare up into the nights sky and wonder. It’s one of my favourite past times in the summer; I usually try to do it all year but am too frozen to make it a long evening of gazing.
A free members chat means that for everyone who is a member of my site (www.katiebanks.com just in case you didn’t know
) gets to see me on cam once a week for a really fun, flirtatious n naked cam show. 
On the members chat thing, I get how it works. I’m was just feeling snarky.
