i tried to do you right, why'd you have to go and turn to ice?

there is nothing like the first italian ice of the season [chocolate mousse chip!] , and a good great new read:

BELONG TO ME by Marisa de los Santos

"no, see, that's just it. it's not The Origin of the Species. not 'the species.' just species. all species. it's not about us. we think we're the center of everything because we're smarter than other animals, but that's not even fair because we invented the whole idea of 'smart' and decided that smart means the thing that we are. when you think about it, whales are smarter than we are when it comes to surviving in the deep ocean, right?"
-character: dev tremain, 13 year old boy, page 38

a lot of people will call me stupid, or silly, or misinformed, because i truly and wholeheartedly, completely agree with this. i don't believe humans are the best, the most evolved, the smartest, the most important. who could know such a thing but the one who created us? we have no way of gaging*** which species is best..i do believe that humans are very intelligent, yet somewhere along the way we have lost sight of what's important. like SURVIVAL. and we are ruining our own survival by not caring for the earth. therefore, we will eventually cease to survive because of our own doing. so..... how can we say survival of the fittest/humans are the fittest? we certainly are not if we cant even realize that we need to protect the earth, protect the animals, and protect ourselves. i think that even someone who hates everyone and everything, but loves him or herself, would find it logical to protect the earth if only so that he or she could survive. think about it.

***for the person who commented rather rudely on my formspring, and then proceeded to dis my vocabulary/grammar and the like (all the while not being so hot at it his or herself), GAGING means measuring or determining. so in this case, we have no way of DETERMINING which species is best. it's not a misspelling of "gagging" or a made-up word. next time you decided to go around attacking people, it's a good idea to make sure your own shit doesn't stink. and to me, if your vocabulary is that mediocre, the your shit definitely stinks. have a great day, "anonymous." by the way, i know who you are :) and who you're employing to help you:) get off of my blog and go live the life someone your age is supposed to be living. and by that i mean your real age, the age on your license, not the age you've apparently decided you'd rather be (4).
