It's almost 2AM here on the east coast, and I was bored so I decided to look for something else to read besides checking my own stats after watching Extinction on Netflix. Congrats on hewing through 7 years of tall trees here in this vast blockchain forest.
I'll celebrate my own 7th in july, and trust me, it's been one wild ride! What keeps me going is knowing that my work will live on the blockchain long after I've been flattened like a pancake by an out of control cement mixer (I always joke that one of them is gonna get me).
When the aliens finally do land, I picture at least you will be out in the hills somewhere safely away from the big cities, unlike me who's dangerously close to NY, and Philadelphia (They'll take the big cities first, and then liquify us one by one). :)
That last line of yours was killer, and made me wish I'd wrote it myself! (just the way a writer would think, right?) Congrats again, and maybe someday I'll actually get off this "wrong coast" that I was born on, and out west filled with wild forests, high mountains, and endless vistas to satisfy the heart, mind, and body.
@evernoticethat Ha! I drifted off to sleep just before you posted this.
Congrats on your seven years when it arrives. I had started 'sharing my life' about a year or so before I discovered blockchain blogging and went back (after the fact) and posted everything that I had made beforehand to the chain in an effort to preserve it.
I like the idea that it will all be around long after I am gone as well... and often think of the Github archive (it is the entirety of Github) stored in the arctic which hopefully includes everything on this blockchain.
Occasionally I think of going out west also but I really love the east coast and particularly the south east. I think that all too many of the 'great minds' fled to the west coast during the beatnik era and we were poorer culturally for it.
Yeah, that last line is one I am fond of as well and have done several variations on it over the years. It generally fucks with people who love to think that someone is in control of the planet.
