Quote Of The Day: "The gods trembled at what they had made, fear shown in each immortal eye as they beheld the birth of man" ~Unknown

I cant say that yesterday wasnt an interesting day towards its end. Normal for the most part up till the evening after an earthquake sounded off the Oregon coast and while I was at work in a call center that can house about 500 people they shut down all our calls and told us we were to evacuate the building and get as high as possible because a Tsunami was to hit in less than an hour. Of course there was a certain amount of disbelief, like it was some kind of drill, and a bit of panic as well. In the end I merely made my way home, as I had decided to walk to work that day, without the least bit of actual fear, a bit of aprehension but no fear. Whether the lack of fear was born from a sense that nothing would really happen or if it was hte contentness with life is hard to say, though I dont think it was the latter. Well that and the fact that a Tsunami's wall of water travels roughly around 80-100mph depending on the quake and the force driving the water and it happened some 80-90 miles off the coastline, so we'd have about an hour at most. In essence, what was going to happen was going to happen and the simple fact is that there is nothing we can do to control that, exceptattempt to get high enough where we hope it wont quite catch us. No use to panic and get in peoples way, merely hope that today isnt your day. Funny though cause work was trying toa dvise us to head towards the Church of Latter Day Saints and im a Catholic. Yeah yeah, I know I dont believe but I do go to church, ocassionally confession, and I bear a cross on my chest usually, its a symbol of mankinds faith in something, even if that faith is misplaced it speaks of our ancient comitment to something greater than ourselves. Now in truth im a believer of the opposite, im a believer in the power of mankind and not of some higher being, for we have in each of us the potential to be the lords of our own creation, the creator may be a hell of a being but it is we, the creation, that is greater for the creator is who it is but we are something different, newer, better, and far superior. This is not true for all creations, but it is for us.
I was going to make some points about some of the many follys and mockerys mankind has made in spite of itself but i'd rather end on this slightly upturned note.
