It's so quiet

It's so quiet here... Peaceful even.

I'm moving out tommorow, and I'm half way through packing all my stuff up, so I don't really have much to say in the field of randomness, except that I'm really tired and red Gorillas attacked my foster family in the Amazon...

They will pay for their sins, especially their leader... The one with the eyepatch...

It's interesting how that when I started this blog, I thought I would have a hundred things to talk about, but now that I've got it up and running I can't think of anything to say.

I wonder if there is a scientific word for that? 'Stage fright', perhaps?

Anyway, I was recently informed that the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is actually large. I thought it collided large hadrons, but then I suppose it would be called a CLH and that doesn't really have the same ring to it.
Actually, on that note, did you know that they had to shut the thing down a while ago, because a bird dropped some bread on it?! You'd think something that large and expensive would have bread-proof shielding!
And what if this had happened when they were colliding stuff! Mushroom cloud, that's what!
When I become ruler of the world, I'm going to make a law whereby every company must employ a team of 'risk evaluators' (pessimists), to assess the possibility of duck-related catastrophe.

An interesting thought occurred to me the other day, so let me wax philosophical for a moment and propose a question: where did morals come from?
Nowadays, unless you're a sociopath, if you stab someone and loot their corpse, you'd probably think "that wasn't a very nice thing to do." But if you were an archer in the battle of Agincourt, after the battle had finished you'd want to get your arrows back. They were expensive. You had peasantlings to feed. No one blames you for it.

Anyway,

My point is, when did we decide that something was 'good' or 'bad'? I can understand how we formulate our laws and morals today, a lot of that has to do with how your parents raised you, and how they were raised as a child (etcetera ad infinitum). But somewhere along the line, those morals had to have been formed, so what did it?

God? An instinctual -hard wired- conscience? The guy in charge at the time?

One more thing...

When I was choosing the name for this blog, I realized a few interesting things. First of all, the best names are already taken. "Thoughtbubble," "thinktank," "thoughtlets," all of them had been registered. The second thing I realized, was that most people give up after their first post. This strikes me as odd, why go through the effort of starting a blog if you're going to post one thing and never touch it again? The third thing I realized, and probably the most interesting, is that everyone posts the same things. Things along the lines of "I had a bad day," or "I had a good day," or "no one understands me. I am the only conscious human being in the world."

Hello World

I wonder what you're thinking at the moment, reading through this post. "Not another pointless blog?" maybe? A few of you might be curious and thinking: "What's this all about then?". Even fewer still are trying to work out what the colour purple would taste like. Well, if you're in the first group, it doesn't matter what I say, you've already closed down this tab and gotten on with your life( leaving me free to talk behind your back ). If you're in the second group, then I have precisely one blog post... Make that HALF a blog post, to convince you why you shouldn't be in the first group. In that case, 'here goes nothing.'

The truth is, there are three main reasons I've decided to start this blog. The first is to share my thoughts. I don't care if you agree with me, or disagree, that's not the point.

The second, and more important reason, is to entertain you, the reader. This is obviously quite important, but I'll get to that later.

The third -REALLY important- reason I have started this blog, is because I've never done it before. It's an experience. Win or lose, I've done something.

Even if you hate people for all the above reasons (like Ricky Gervais) doing something, no matter how pointless, is better than doing nothing at all. It is through our experiences that we learn, and even if nothing comes of this blog at all, I will have learned something.

Well that's it for my introduction post. I don't have a video of a cat playing 'the entertainer' while breakdancing( that would be sweet ). I don't have superpowers (yet). I don't even have a chart... I'll have to get me some chart...

Oh, and in case you were wondering, the correct answer is 'Boysenberry.'
