Deep thoughts....
So now that I've got my Zune it simplifies the find something good to listen to on the way to work problem. However this does leave me with a lot more free time to think my deep thoughts. In the midst of one of these sessions last night I found the need to figure out my rough date of conception, so counting back 9 months from the day of my birth left me at Oct 22. Now the thing about this particular date is that it is within roughly a week period of my dad's birthday. Now I'm no scientition But I'm sure the gestation period is a rough estimate not an exact one Moreover live sperm can live inside the human body for upwards of 72 hours waiting around for it's moment (a necessity owing to the timing fertilization requires). Now the fact that my parents had to have had sex to create me has never bothered me, But the fact that it might have been special Birthday sex? You know maybe involving a special night out and something sexy like lingerie, maybe even more? Then all caught up in the moment they forget a condom for the first time? I've never had any problem with the likelihood I was an accident no sane person with four kids planned it that way. Moreover most of the time I find that "planned" children are a bigger mistake then accidental ones owing I feel to the fact that after getting this particular news most people grow up a bit and try and get their shit together (successfully or not) whereas Planned children are the ones had by people who think (frequently inaccurately) that they are "ready" for this kind of responsibility or by people who think adding another noisome financial burden will save an already fractured relationship. Whoa... where was I? Oh yeah. Again with the limited window for fertilization I have to conclude that the most likely date that The act that led to my conception was in fact my dad's birthday (which has a kind of pleasing symmetry to it I guess). I guess the only way to be sure would be to ask my mom if she happens to remember that particular birthday of my dad's from about 31 years ago... well maybe i will. Anyway if you were curious that was about the last 10 minutes or so of my drive to work ironically music is one of the very few things that allows me to shunt my continuous thought processes into the back-round but the kind of concentration on the music it requires Is fairly dangerous while driving.
