Cosmic Orgy

As if we don't have enough to worry about, now galaxies are starting to ... erm ... ahem ... 'combine'. I just found out on the NASA website that there is an event that Peeping Tom scientists have dubbed a "cosmic free for all."

"...researchers found that four separate galaxy clusters are involved in a triple merger, the first time such a phenomenon has been documented. Galaxy clusters are the largest objects bound by gravity in the Universe." http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/chandra/news/09-031.html

Okay. So NOW we have some weird Ménage à quatre

Further evidence that The Universe simply does not give a shit about you and me. Too busy being the Hugh Hefner of star systems. Hey, I'm not here to judge...oh wait, yes I am. The Universe is a sick fucking place.

Ask NASA.

Positive Thoughts to the Universe?!?

Positivity.

Anybody else aware of this notion? A positive outlook forming a positive result? That you can send your positive thoughts out to The Universe with a many fold return therewith?

Guess what? The Universe doesn't care. Its a Universe. Its an environment. The Universe is a bunch of stars and cosmic junk flying around. Junk flying around that could hit you in the head. Stars that could set you on fire, or go out and make you really cold. Moons that don't have any air on them. Stuff like that.

Get it?

In other words: "Don't trust The Universe".

Do you think The Universe cares if you get hit by an asteroid? Nope. Do you think The Universe cares if your favorite TV show ever (EZ Streets) gets cancelled before it can really get going, yet King of Queens will be in syndication forever? Of course not. Does The Universe get even the lease little bit annoyed when I have to work late? Well, maybe a teensy bit...but that's because it doesn't have a chance to really stick it to me while I'm in the safety of my building.

Its time to set the record straight. Its time to get into a fighting stance and instead of saying "Oh The Universe...I trust your infinite wisdom and I send this positive thought to you." saying "The Universe, don't mess with me. You have NO IDEA who you're dealing with." And then throw a couple punches at the air as a sort of demonstration.

That is what I plan to do here.
