Well seeing how my last blog was depressing i thought i would make this one differnt like anyone reads these anyways :D. really i write these for myself because when i write, i learn more about myself in the process. so this time i'll be talking about my favorite thing, Space! yay woo alright. so lets start out where we are. Earth rotates around the Sun (bet you didnt know that) but it gets better. we have 9 planets (well 8 now according to science. i still love you Pluto! :D) so we are rotating around the sun. first comes mercury. a huge ball of iron, Mercury is actually THE INNER CORE of an entirely different planet! who knows what was there originally, but now its just a floating piece of element. then Venus, a planet full of CO2 and magma basically...well lets move on to the better stuff. We are located in the Milky Way Galaxy near (apparently) the inner part of the universe. our solar system is located on the inner layer of the Milky Way...but wait. this is one galaxy. the Hubble recently took a photo of over 250 thousand galaxies in one photo all most likely containing over thousands of planets. (google 'Hubble Images' for more on this) obviously we're small...really really small. this was one picture of a formally blank piece of space. so how much is out there? how much are we willing to find out? Our sun, Helios is about 1,000,000 times bigger than the earth. but there are some stars discovered that are 1,000,000,000 times bigger than our sun. so we're smaller than microscopic at this point because there are now black holes even bigger than those. Which brings me to a good point. Black Holes. Black holes are my topic of this entire blog. they are made of everything and nothing. the alpha and omega of the universe you may say. think of space as a flat plane. we make a dent in it, but that is gravity making the dent. its normal. a black hole actually punctures through this flat plane in forming itself. they're basically the universe's tornadoes. a black hole is made of nothing. literally. it defies everything we know. black holes are formed when material gets so dense that it turns into nothing. not the "nothing" you'd think. not under the microscrope "nothing." literally nothing. the concept of this alone is overwhelming. but in theory, this nothing may have given birth to our universe...i'll add more later. i have writer's block

About

Well...besides musical interests, i LOVE snowboarding. Like...no i really love it. I've been snowboarding for almost 10 years now HmMmMmMm. well...im 17 from Lexington, SC. not a very active town. wish i lived in the north here People tend to say Im musically talented (trying to make that sound as humble as possible), but i dont think so. i think im just determined. i play Guitar, starting to learn drumming, and i sing (working on my scream) Biggest musical influences: ANTHONY GREEN, Jade puget, Isaac Brock, Craig Owens, and Daft Punk. big props for Daft Punk. love everything they do hm. im definately an outgoing person. i love people and i love to hate them to...im a logical thinker and am an atheist to the fullest...but i wont go into that. Most important thing in life to me: Space. plain and simple. thinking beyond human understanding is something that I...well...think about a lot. i guess that has to do with space because most people cannot fathom it. i cant stand that and feel like i need to understand it, ya know? maybe not... well besides all of that, you would just have to know me to know me i guess. feel free to talk to me anytime im on :D im definately a talker...
