My weakness
Complex life discovered on distant planet
Now, I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly, but, from what I do understand, it seems that we have actually found life on another planet! (Correct me if I'm wrong.) I saw the last hour of this special, called Alien Planet, on the Discovery Channel. Scientists are planning to send (or have already sent) artificial-intelligence-equipped probes to thoroughly investigate life on an Earth-like planet. I was in awe at the detail that this documentary went into concerning the lifeforms and the environments they live in. It was quite amazing. Whether this be science fiction, science fact, or a blend of both, this is pretty fuckin' cool!
And, YES, I did watch the Discovery Channel on a Saturday night! Deal with it!
I called my dad this evening. It was a lovely 20-minute father-son chat. A definite shoutout goes to my dad. And, I know that you probably think that shoutouts to parents are lame, but this one is not! For all the shit that I've been through - whether it be bachelorin' it while Mom's gone, being stressed out, or $1,000 phone bills - I am so glad that he was there for me. I would not trade him for any other father on the planet. That's why I'm in tears right now after just getting off the phone with him. Life's been down for him; I just wish there is something I could do to help him. But, on the other hand, I know that he has invested a lot into seeing me succeed and doesn't want me to bear any worries about him. It's so hard not being able to help him. I feel so selfish for continuing on with my life without even turning back for him. But, I know it's what he wants. He doesn't want me to throw anything away for him. God, I hate this!
Things have turned out funny. I am so much closer to Dad than ever before. Who would've thought that I would feel closest to him, not during my childhood, but once becoming an adult in college. I've heard others say this about their relationship with their parents. God works in mysterious ways. I don't consider myself to be too emotional of a person - except for little nervous breakdowns! But, if there's one thing that makes my heart burst into tears, it's hearing bad news about my Dad. It's my emotional Achilles heel.
Speaking of Dad, I still have to mail him that package. Dammit, procrastination! And, dammit, not getting off work until after the post office closes!
And, on a side note, this is my 200th entry. YAY! Too bad it couldn't be on a more upbeat occasion...
