The Galaxy

Posted by rabid squirrel on Dec. 28, 2006, 1:56 p.m.

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown

When things are hard or tough,

When people are stupid obnoxious and daft,

And you feel that you've had quite enough…

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's revolving,

Revolving at 900 miles an hour.

It's orbiting at 90 miles a second so it wreckin'

Round the sun which is the source for all our power.

The sun and you and me

And all the stars that we can see

Are moving at a million miles a day!

In an outer spiral arm at 40 thousand miles an hour

In the galaxy we call the milky way.

Now the galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.

It's a hundred thousand light years side from side.

It bulges in the middle 16 thousand light years thick,

But out by us it's just three thousand light years wide.

We're 30 thousand light years from Galatix and Il Quan

That go round every 200 million years!

And our universe is only one of millions and billions

In this amazing and expanding universe.

Now the universe itself is expanding and expanding

In every direction it can wid

As fast as it can go,

The speed of light you know,

A million miles a minute -

That's the fastest speed there is -

So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure,

How amazingly unlikely was your birth.

And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up above

For there isn't any down here on earth!!!

Lighten up!

There are stars in the sky!

Lighten up!

It's a good question why,

But you don't know the answer

And neither do I.

So meanwhile let's just all lighten up.

And…

Remember that you're standing on a planet that's revolving,

Revolving at 900 miles an hour.

It's orbiting at 90 miles a second so it wreckin'

Round the sun which is the source for all our power.

The sun and you and me

And all the stars that we can see

Are moving at a million miles a day!

In an outer spiral arm at 40 thousand miles an hour

In the galaxy we call the milky way!

In an outer spiral arm at forth thousand miles an hour

In the galaxy we call the milky way!

Love that song.

I'm new here. It's so hard to tell if I'm considered a noob or a newb, but I guess I shouldn't worry about it that much and more about making games.

I'm working on an arcade maze game called Purpliggy - and planning to submit a WIP soon. I'm just switching from GML to code (I started GM in August) and teaching myself as I go. It's really fun to program! I never realized how much fun programming games could be! Thank you mark overmars!

So… How do you people on 64 Digits come up with what to blog about? It seems to me that most blogs are about other blogs. That would be blogging about others blogging about blogs of others on the subjects of someone else's blog. I like doing that.

Final Words:

Be happy (that's an order)

I've got that song too, it's great =D

Oh, and the first verse is this:

"Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown

And things seem hard or tough

And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft

And you feel that you've had quite enough"

Life, GM, things on the net, random stuff. Random stuff seems to be most popular nowadays.

Meh, I don't blog much anymore, it seems like it just became another task that had to be done rather than just something fun, so I stopped. Now I just roam the site and comment.

BTW, from what I've seen you haven't done anything retarded yet so you're pretty cool.

Never heard that song before. And I am also new here, although I have 2 years of experience with forums and 1 year with blogs. And just blog about the first thing that comes to your mind that ISN'T a nooby topic.

Find out what the members are whining about, and yell at them for whining about it.

Did you thank Mark for making game maker, that was a bad idea. The program caused his army of noobs to show up at my door. I shoved them in the closet, but there more annoying than crickets.
