As Ellen’s Midwest General I’ve managed to get on the radio and begin one of many attempts at complete world domination! Last Saturday went amazing and it’s only going to get bigger and better from here! Lot’s of other cool things are in the works, I’ll keep ya all surprised! Nothing wrong with a good surprise!
Laugh, Dance, Conquer!
While on facebook the other day my friend Ada posted an article, “http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science_and_environment/10132762.stm” discussing the fact that humanity has officially created life! She posted the following comment.
“Dr. Verber: “If we can really get cells to do the production that we want,…” So… what that really means is once again, in efforts to learn more about genetic engineering most geneticists’ attempts at creating [from] and consequentially destroying these Knows to obtain their components without knowing how to reconstruct the Knows. …To create new life, we destroy what is, however, we don’t know how to recreate what is.
We can only manipulate the Given to create what isn’t, and without
knowing how to return to the Given, there is no escape in case we
absolutely fuck up humanity. We are toddler gods let loose in a
university lab like it’s the playground at the mall. Scant on parental supervision of the future.”

In reality she’s right! We are the only species publicly disclosed, just in case you believe in ancient astronauts, that have the capability to manipulate so much of what we control. The great paradox being that we truly do not control anything. When a species has discovered the mechanics behind life, resulting in the ability to disrupt billion year evolutionary trends simply on a whim, that puts us in a league of our own. Don’t even start to think down the path of technology and microbiology combining together. That concept alone implies that humanity has the capability to create a unique phylogenetic chain in and of itself! The repercussions being much like all things regarding existence, totally unknown and taken on faith! This is so cool, but so very scary! The fact that cellular machinery can be turned on and off, reanimating some organisms, provides a whole other level to the interpretation of what life is. Thus the gist of what I’m getting at from this is that we really have no way to define what life is, what the spark that defines it is about, why it’s important outside of some code doing a job! When I think about things like this it helps me put events into perspective.
Upon realizing that we can’t truly define something anyone reading this is doing, LIVING, how in the world can you take anything to heart? How can you ever truly be offended? How can you find excuses not to enjoy life? When realizing something like this, how can you take attacks personal? To expand the argument, we can’t define our own emotions! What is love? What is jealousy? What is passion? What is hope? What is anger? In one aspect all these things are nothing more than some chemical reaction, the result of some astrocyte, neurotransmitter, synaptic threshold. Why do we put so much into the meaning behind a gesture, why not just enjoy the pleasures of life, whatever that is?
Maybe one of the reasons I’m pondering all this is because today I had to get rid of one of my closest friends. I love her, but timing and circumstances apparently will never be right. Even when things felt right something had to come along to mess it up. I know I love her because I’ve made a valiant effort not to. I’ve done everything I can do to push her away and I still can’t let go. I waited to long to say what I needed to say. I let someone else come along and claim her. I thought that would help ease getting her out of my head, but it didn’t. It made it worse, it made me dislike a genuinely nice guy for no fault of his own. I don’t like being that person, I don’t like disliking someone because I gave them an opportunity they took.
I don’t know when things can be right. Is it ever the right time to create life? Is it ever the right time to take on faith the positive implications of generating your own microorganism? I enjoy talking with her, her company, even her smell. But I don’t think I can do it anymore. It’s going to be painful either way I look at it. But I can’t be the shadow, I won’t be. Every time I hear her voice or see her face a smile comes to mine. It’s like the chaos of existence simply dissipates. Decisions don’t need to be made because I don’t have to think, I just do! But every time I talk to her, it drives me crazy, in good and bad ways 
I love you baby doll, it doesn’t bother me to say that anymore. I feel sorry for myself that it did. I hope you stay happy and whenever times get rough you need to realize what you let walk away. I’m good looking, tall, blonde, and amazing at like everything. I won’t have any issues, but you will always own a piece of me. I’m actually listening to “Nobody knows it but me – babyface” as I type this. Somehow I’ve become one of those dudes I make fun of. I don’t know what romantic love is, because like so many other important aspects you can’t define it. But I know I love you because that’s the only answer that makes sense in my head. It’s the only way I can rationalize how I feel. So fuck you, have a nice life, and don’t ever think I’m not thinking about you. You know me better than I should of let you. Why is that?
