So now that I have a regular group of readers (you know who you are), I feel somewhat pressured to write a blog more often. Tonight’s topic has been in the works for a while, which is my take on aliens. Maybe it’s because I watched a lot of Doctor Who this summer, maybe it’s because I love star gazing, or maybe it’s because everyone expects me to write about aliens sometime because “lols hes a nerd”.
Earlier this summer I read what Steven Hawking had to say about how if Aliens came to the world, they’d imperialize us just like Columbus did to the Native Americans. While I don’t necessarily disagree this might be the case, I can only wonder why Mr. Hawking used this specific image. I understand that he is implying the aliens will do horrible things to us, but doesn’t that also imply that the aliens will have sex with us? Thus every star trek/star wars fanboys greatest dream has just been fulfilled.
I’d like to believe that the aliens are really a peaceful race of cute beings whose advanced technology can beat out even the championed 3D TV. I mean why not go for 4D? Who wouldn’t want to watch their favorite celebrities that wa...sorry I was busy drooling over some of the ideas that just came to mind.
I’m not sure whether I believe in Aliens the way they are depicted in popular fiction. Anime nerds, you all want that hot alien girl to fall out of the sky and give you super powers. It most likely isn’t going to happen...and if it does, I call dibs. But they may not be like in the horror movies where they destroy everything in their path either.
Personally, I think they may just be a plant like life form of some kind. It’s hard to imagine we are the only planet capable of sustaining life, but if there is other life out there I have a hard time picturing it as the cheesy martian costumes have been depicted for years. Maybe they’re so complex my tiny human brain can’t even comprehend the work that went into what looks like a badly made costume with a zipper sticking out.
This one goes out to my alien counterpart who is writing a post wondering if we exist or not. May you “live long and prosper”, and please don’t invade my planet.
Until next time,
I’m just your friendly neighborhood bloggerman (feel free to comment, I like comments. I promise I won't probe you!)

Haha, and you said this was going to be extreme, geeeeeez.
ReplyDeleteOnly real thoughts I've had on aliens is that, what's the point in trying to find and bother them? It's like going over to the new neighbor's house; you could either make a good friend or your worst enemy. Really, it's best left alone. I'd rather not get slaughtered by a Columbus-esque alien race before I die of natural causes. And by natural causes I mean freak sky-diving accident. Ohhh yea.
Well, by extreme I meant people are like "lol this dude is joking around about aliens, what a loser" but hey I guess the other posts were like that too. I like meeting new neighbors. I think it's human nature to be curious about what's out there. As for sky diving, you'd never see me doing that.
ReplyDeletePretty much agreeing with you. While I think it's really dumb/self-centered not to believe in alien life at all (there are billions of planets just in the Milky Way...and several other galaxies as well) I'm kind of iffy on the sci-fi depictions. :P Not that I don't love sci-fi, but it'd just be really weird if something so far away ended up having the exact same conditions throughout time that led to humans looking the way we do.
