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)

@marbs - ty I fixed that

@Kaz - random stuff - sounds good.

@metalgearacid - ty

@tomatoeworm - of course - why would I deliberately blog on a nooby topic?

@flashback - I think I'll leave that to the mods and adminst (I agree with Kaz)

Didn't I just say that I agreed with Kaz somewhere else recently? Huh…

@graydon - crickets aren't annoying if you just ignore them. They don't really do anything.

Just don't blog on anything that will make you lose your reputation of NOT being a noob.

Ah I see.
