"Now swallow all your pills in the cup"

Why can't humans be more like emperor penguins? The sacrifices they
make to ensure the survival of their offspring is incredible. They go
months without food to have a chance of hatching their egg. Of
course, by now it must be apparent that I just watched the movie
"March of the Penguins". This was a really good movie and I would
highly recommend it to anyone.

Humans could learn so much from animals and nature. I think that our
ability of self awareness and high-level thinking is our downfall. We
focus too much on the details of life instead of just enjoying what
life has offered us. You don't see animals rushing around to their
jobs just so they can afford to pay their bills. Don't get me wrong.
I'm not into the whole socialist view of society. I love capitalism
and everything that it offers, but there is always a negative to all
that is good. The yin to the yang. So we rush and rush until we are
exhausted. Then we gather our earnings and use them to buy crap, eat
out, or party. You get the picture. Then we alter science so that we
can live longer. Why do we do this? Just to be able to live longer
and spend more money? This makes no sense...

I love science and advancement. I just think that we are so focused
on the microcosmic things of the world that we forget about the big
picture. Global warming scares the crap out of me. And there are so
many other things that are caused by the advancement of man. We are
slowly killing our own species off in the name of science. I don't
remember the summers being so hot when I was a kid. Or the heat
lasting as long during the year. I live in Houston and we have a good
three months of cool / cold weather and then it's back to the hot-ass
humid weather again. It wasn't always like this. Just because I am an
avid conspiracy theorist doesn't mean that I am wrong. Even the
paranoid are right some of the time.

I know it may seem like I am babbling (well that's because I am), but
so many thoughts are swirling in my mind about life in general and
where I fit into this crazy jigsaw puzzle of life. If I didn't exist,
would the world be the same or would it be completely different? How
much of an impact does one person have in the world? For every
positive person, there is a negative person. For every good person,
there is a bad person. Life can not exist without some form of
balance. So, What would happen if we take away one side of the
equation but not the other side? Would the world flip over it's axis
and spin out of control? I guess the other question becomes, if
balance must exist then what happens when someone dies? Does that
mean that if they were a good person then a bad person also dies at
that exact moment? Philosophy has never been my strong subject. I've
always been good at raising profound questions, but never any good at
answering them.

And what happens when you mix different colored medication? If I mix
my yellow pills with my blue pills, do they turn green in my stomach?

Okay, enough of the random bull. Back to your regularly scheduled
programming.
