2 minutes till midnight


Hello!

Nothing wakes you up like a call from school asking you where the *beep* your kid was today at the first period of classes, just to correct themselves and end the call with a “my bad..” attitude….

You see I have these new channels that have been given to me by the TV gods and one of them airs science programs…. They have a show called “The Universe” and it is AWESOME!!... They talk about different subject related to gloom and doom and the last show I recorded was about the 7 biggest life extinction events the Earth and life have had to go through: The Ice age, The KT asteroid that was part of the demise of the dinosaurs…. Because it’s no longer the sole culprit of their death, it is part of their demise (man are creationist and scientists alike going to flip) … and the biggest one yet that will eventually happen, Solar Armageddon…when the Sun will eventually engulf the Earth and it will basically burn everything to a crisp… Oh but don’t you worry your pretty little head about that (been saying that a lot lately), humans will cease to exist in about 500 million years from now. This is something new I learned today; you do learn something new every day!...but back to my story…

So I’m in the sleepy zone, where you want to but you don’t want to, you are going to but you can’t, where crazy sh*t and new ideas thrive and where ringing phones snap the bejesus out of you  with a very somber hello and ask stupid questions like the one above… My kid not at first period?!? Ma! Getaerehere! (somehow I am fluently Italian in these moments)..My wife went to drop her like always, has she been to the other periods?  The secretary was puzzle that she had and therefore concluded that it was a mistake… that or my kid had just walked into the room and was holding a gun to her head…the kid is weird…

But yeah, I got some new TV channels I can sleep to!!

PS 500 million years...pff.. and here  was worried about what we're going to eat today...
