I wonder what Neil Armstrong was thinking when he was coming down the steps as he approached the moon?
I mean the line "small step for man, giant leap for mankind" sounds like it was given to him rather than something he made up himself.
I can just imagine him coming down the steps going "Ok it's small step for man, giant leap for mankind.......small step for man, giant leap for mankind" and
then landing on the surface "Ok Neil remember the line...don't fuck it up..."
I mean you have to say something! You can't land on the moon and say:
"Oh it's all sticky! It's covered in jam!"
or
*stretch*
"Fuckin hell I've been in that spacecraft.....right I need a piss!"
You know?
He also had a sense of humour so he should have used it! You know the lunar module that had a fixed camera staring back at the earth, and it couldn't pan left or right.
So what he should have done is say "Hi earth we're here on the moon. I can see mountains and The Sea of Tranquillity. There is the Earth, you're looking back up at yourselves there."
"And to my right I can see a FUCKIN' MONSTER THERES A MONSTER BEHIND ME OOOOH!"
By this stage you can't see him, but you can hear him scream "OHH NO! GET OFF MY LEG!" repeatedly running in back and forth in front of the camera.
"Houston! The monster has me! He wants cash! Send one...no two million dollars and leave it in a bag by The Sea of Tranquillity....................I dunno the north shore wtf?"
Oh it would have worked!

I'm sitting here on my bed, secretly dreading what’s around the corner. Module 2 is starting tomorrow (today) and I dunno if I'm ready for it.
I was devastated over the last week when I found that my MP3 player had gone missing. I bring it everywhere; I cannot live without it. Thankfully I managed to find it again before I left home. I am so glad because I can't imagine college without it.
Strangely, it seems when I have my music playing, everything else is drowned out, and it’s a form of security for me.
Elsewhere, my mind is drifting backwards tonight. I found myself browsing facebook (a site which I can never understand). I then came across a profile of Tilda.....I know I should not think about her, but I wish I knew how she was. In the photos she seems quite happy, but I dunno. I haven’t spoken to her for a long time. I can take it from that that she never wishes to speak to me again.
Women, a mystery as ever.....
Oh well, I should have been in bed ages ago but I'll not be able to sleep very well. I'll try again.
I'm scared about the future though...
=[
I can't believe January is nearly over already. It's been good though because for the past three weeks i've done
nothing but study. It was nice because Alicia was there by my side the whole time, she's so sweet.
We had our first college exams this week so needless to say my stress levels were high.
Even though only had three, they were bloody difficult to memorise. Also the fact that the weather was sh*te and our
exams were in a building 15 minutes from the college! Why they don't have them in the actual college is strange.
Anyway i finished my last exam yesterday and Alicia finished her's today. We were going to go out but there was
no point because a. we're both exhausted, b. nobody else wants to go out either.
As things are with Alicia, it's hard to say. I'm no good at this because i've never had a proper girlfriend before.
So far we've been out together, we've kissed, cuddled, held hands.......yet I don't know if we're actually going out or not.
All i know is I love her like mad.......but I said that about someone else in the past and it nearly destroyed me.....
Today I was reading the paper and I came across a really sad story.
In the UK, these two people met and fell in love. They did everything together and sounded like your ideal couple. They eventually ended up getting married. The tragic and unbelievable part of the story is that when these two lovebirds were babies, they were separated at birth. Surely the chances of them being biological brother and sister were virtually zero?? Sadly it was true. A different family adopted them. More amazingly, none of them were aware of this as the parents had never told them! As a result there was nothing they could do but get their marriage annulled. Needless to say both of them are devastated. It was such a sad story. It goes to show, life can be kind some times, but devastatingly cruel in others...
