It is fucking wonderful to be alive... Thinking about the infinite number of unchosen possibilities which would have resulted in no me, or no people I care about, which didn't happen makes me awe-filled. Millions of generations of just the right sperm meeting up with just the right egg, and that's just the biological aspect. There's all the asteroids that didn't hit, and the "just right" ones that did. All the solar flares which could have irradiated an ancestor. All the historical decisions that could have resulted in something else... If there isn't a god, we are incredibly, incredibly...incredibly lucky, and if there is, that God picked US of all the possibile possibilities..... we are special.
I've been working a lot this weekend. My goal for the summer is to get a couple car payments ahead, put a thousand dollars+ into emergency savings for after the baby is born, and try to get all the other bills and debts paid off. It means putting in a lot of late nights, but it feels good.
What's cool is, pizza delivery means riding around in my car, and that means I can put my time at work to other use as well. Besides listening to good tunes, I've been listening to the audio version of David McCullough's John Adams, and sometime this week I'll begin learning Japanese, to have a one-up when I start my Japanese class in the fall.
I've also been fleshing out the novel idea I mentioned yesterday, which I am really getting excited about. I think my goal for tommorrow will be to begin a rough outline, just to see how these ideas play out on paper. Or maybe tonight if I have trouble sleeping, which is highly likely.
Good wishes to all of you.
