HERE ARE SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS AND IMAGES ABOUT ANYTHING THAT I FOUND INTERESTING. HOPEFULLY, THERE WILL BE A FEW THINGS WORTH READING THAT HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTALLY LEFT AMONG THESE MENTAL SCRIBBLES. THERE MIGHT EVEN BE FOUND A FEW LAUGHS AMONG THESE THOUGHTS THAT HAVE BEEN ACCUMULATED DURING A LIFE THAT WAS ALWAYS FASCINATED WITH THE SECRETS OF EXISTENCE. SO GO AHEAD AND LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF. I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING MORE IMPORTANT OR WORTHWHILE TO LEAVE BEHIND. ANYONE WHO REALLY KNOWS ME KNOWS I'VE ALWAYS TRIED TO LIVE UP TO THE WORDS: "FUCK 'EM IF THEY CAN'T TAKE A JOKE."

PLEASE WATCH THIS


5.6k Saturn Cassini Photographic Animation from stephen v2 on Vimeo.


Sit back, relax, turn up the volume and put this video on full screen. As you watch the third segment remember that this is made up of photographs taken by a man-made camera that left earth and was soaring toward Saturn millions of miles away about to pass through the planet's rings at unbelievable speeds. It's a sample of what eventually will be a full-length IMAX movie constructed with actual photographs. To me, it asks the same question I've talked about before (June 2008 in the post about the wounded bald eagle fitted with a new beak). The question: How can man, who is capable of doing the most monstrous and unspeakable things, also be able to create and recognize such god-like beauty? There is no answer. But the beauty is real. But forget about all that crap and just enjoy the clip for what it is - in focus.
