Hey Freak!

Every once in a while, I try to imagine what life would be like as ocean going mammal. You know, a whale, seal, dolphin, one of those guys. Can you imagine it? What would the earth-bound version of that look like?

No houses. No cars. No fast food. Everybody just walking around... and walking... and walking. You don't even get to lay down to sleep; you just stop walking. And then, every five minutes or so, you'd have to stick your head in the ground and breathe dirt. Man, what a pain in the ass that'd be. I mean, for your entire life, no matter what you're doing, you would always have to take time to go breathe dirt every few minutes. Glad we don't have to do that.

And then there's the whole migration thing. Imagine if humans were like that? For a few months of the year, all we'd do is feed. No job, no other worries, just finding food, rounding it up, and eating. And then, for another few months, there'd be some huge road-trip-like gathering in like, California, where everybody would just pair off and breed. And then after migration "season," then back to the open ocean plains for more feeding and whatever else marine mammals do in the off-season.

I dunno. I just think it's interesting to think of things like this. And I'm not even stoned.
