Marching Band and Space

I have a love for space, astronauts, the space program, and a little thing called marching band.

Hitler: Look at all my awesome paintings, can I come to your school?

Art schools: No, your shit, go do something else with your life.

Hitler: Ok *kills off 6 million jews*

Art schools: We didn't mean that...

My UFO Sighting

Last night, we had our annual band banquet at the local church. While helping my band director pack things in her car, my friend that was helping me said, "Is that from the power lines?" I turned around and my heart nearly stopped. In the sky was a trio of bright orange lights in the sky, almost equidistant from each other. They were moving together slowly across the sky while also slowly rotating as well. As they moved, they never got any closer or any farther from each other. The whole event lasted for about 2 minutes. From right to left, the lights slowly dimmed out. My friend actually caught almost all of it on video. I'll put it in another post.

So one time when I was about 9 or 10, I had accidentally said the f-word (now in life, it's no longer accidental). It happened early in the year and for that entire year, I worried that I was going to get coal from Santa because I had been "naughty". I was worried I wasn't going to get any presents because I said the f-word ONCE.

So many people ask me why I love space.

It can, at times, be very hard to answer.

There are many factors to it, too many to explain simply.

However, the major reason is that there is so much to learn from it. The fact that we, as human's, have the ability to study it, not just from space itself, but from earth as well.

For crying out loud, we have freaking large telescopes that can allow us to see "into" the past history of the universe.

We even have spacecraft to take us up there, to study it more closeup.

However, there is also history in space. We wouldn't be walking on this planet knowing and connecting the name of Armstrong to that silvery thing in the sky. That one small step for man, that one giant leap for mankind.

So, just plain in simple, there is much to learn now and from the past of space. That is why I love it so much.

Trumpets need to calm the fuck down with their "being a hero" in our show. I am a trumpet. I need to calm the fuck down.

“We were hunters and foragers. The frontier was everywhere. We were bounded only by the Earth, and the ocean, and the sky. The open road still softly calls. Our little terraquious globe as the madhouse of those hundred thousand millions of worlds. We, who cannot even put our own planetary home in order, riven with rivalries and hatreds; Are we to venture out into space?

By the time we’re ready to settle even the nearest of other planetary systems, we will have changed. The simple passage of so many generations will have changed us. Necessity will have changed us. We’re… an adaptable species. It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri and the other nearby stars. It will be a species very like us, but with more of our strengths, and fewer of our weaknesses. More confident, farseeing, capable, and prudent. For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness.

What new wonders, undreamed of in our time, will we have wrought in another generation? And another? How far will our nomadic species have wandered by the end of the next century? And the next millennium?

Our remote descendants, safely arrayed on many worlds through the solar system and beyond, will be unified by their common heritage, by their regard for their home planet, and by the knowledge that whatever other life there may be, the only humans in all the universe come from Earth. They will gaze up, and strain to find the blue dot in their skies. They will marvel at how vulnerable the repository of raw potential once was. How perilous, our infancy. How humble, our beginnings. How many rivers we had to cross before we found our way.”
