I dont think that livejournal is a valid journal even just to tell your friends things about you that they might not know because they live far away. So, you know. From now on, it's just for me. What you want, thats up to you. I mean thats mostly what it is for me anyway. My own note pad. My own summed up version of a journal I already have. For major events: "Oh thats what I was doing in July!" I honestly can't say most of the people on my friends list know me. So I'll give you what I really think about.
And on that note, I saw this picture tonight:
The dogwood flower, out of all the possible creations, was one of the one that became a part of Earth. And so am I. The dogwood flower existed. It is not much. But the dogwood flower existed.
There is a Richard Dawkins quote to the same effect: "Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here."
