Think About How This Affects You

Here's the onion of realization shedding away with time.

If only we could all grow wiser as we grew older. I'm starting to think more and more about the sirens going off on every one of Mother Nature's watchtowers. There is a short-sighted selfishness to every crime; with each ill-conceived folly we forget ourselves in the giant ongoing tale of life. What's worse is the idea that there are people who make enough money in the errors we are making as a species that they not only refuse to change it but do their best to hinder any progress that we would otherwise be making. It won't be long before there are some seriously heavily populated countries who will appear on the map as needing an energy solution, and there's only so much weight this planet can handle.

Our time is quickly running out. I'm going to live in a house built into the ground that stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter, with natural light seeping in through skylights at the surface. I saw a house just like this in a documentary released by the CBC about green energy some time ago, and it sounds like an awesome thing.

In other news, none of you will believe how busy I've been. In the next few days, I'm going to try and publish the photos I took while I was in Tokyo over the Obon holiday and all the other nonsense I've been up to. Simply writing about what I've been up to exactly might in turn violate some contractual terms of the company I work for here, so I can't be too explicit. Just know that I've been working really hard lately. Really hard. So my absence from the blogworld is not entirely based around my social life. There's not been much of a social life lately.

Well, I'll be back soon. It's time to cook some dinner. Donburi, here I come.

And one final note: thanks Mom. The cookies from home were delicious and were consumed in a frenzy of child-like nostalgia. It's been awhile.
