Today we finished Fahrenheit 451,
Overall great book, it really made some people think... however it was just a large headache for so many people. They just didn't get it. It's kind of sad really.
If you read my post in Thought Tour 2009 blog, I talked about mars... which in my mind is my little piece of paradise. I've only been there a few times, one that I remember well. It was at my cousins' church sleep over thing... I know, me at church... sounds like a conflict of interest right? But it was epic to say the least, it was pretty much 15 High-School people with some advisors using the church for a party... We stayed up till... maybe 5 o'clock in the morning. From 10pm-5am we played phoose ball, while discussing debate topics, what's wrong with the world, why humanity was setup to fail, and philosophy.
One of our advisors said "wow, listening to these guys; I should've voted for them in the election" or something to that affect. I kinda thought it was... odd, but anyways. So this mars place... To me it's state of mind... when a group of people start thinking out loud, and start to produce thoughts, feelings and emotions. It's when people put down their guard to produce thought in anything... it's not organized by rules or regulations... people aren't constantly swearing to try to get a point across. It's thoughtful, meaningful, inteligant conversation meant to be had.
We don't say "let's goto Mars" because, Mars comes to us. I useally think of it during the conversation but don't acknowledge it.
I believe the reason why I call this state of mind mars, is becuase of the emptiness of mars, its simplicty; it doesn't have advertisements constantly running or a TV running in the background. It's got vast lands... and it's quite amazing in its design. However, eventually as science proceeds. Man kind will screw it up some how.
And that brings me to the second part of the title. There's the song "girl from mars" by Ash, however Microsoft made an advertisement with a female singer, singing the song... and it was great. It kind of put me "on mars"
Overall, Mars is my favorite place on earth.
