I haven't written anything new in a while. I've been really busy with family and work, plus I've had a little bit of "blogger block." Once again I have to marvel at folks who are able to come up with fresh material on a consistent basis. I've discovered that it's difficult to figure out what readers of a blog will find interesting or funny. Then again, I guess the point of all this is to write for myself, and if people are entertained, all the better.
Anyway, I've decided that conspiracy theories will be my topic of conversation for the next couple of blog entries. As the title suggests, yes, I've got a few. Hopefully, the ones I plan on putting out there for your enjoyment are interesting, new, and hopefully funny to you. Some of you might remember a song called "Things that make you go, hmmm." That's kind of what I'm going for.
It's not that I don't have opinion on common conspiracy theories, I just think they've been talked to death. Who really killed JFK? I don't know if it was a lone gunman, or shots came from the grassy knoll. I think Oswald was one hell of a shot if he did act alone. Did we really go to the moon, or was all of it done on a secret soundstage somewhere? It seems like it would be easy enough for NASA to take the exact coordinates of the moon landing (if it really occurred....hmmmm), and take one of their billion-dollar telescopes, and find the American flag that Armstrong and Aldrin planted up there. What about aliens? Are we alone? Roswell? Area 51? Most people are either 100% sure one way or the other. If you google Neil Armstrong, you'll even get articles and blogs claiming that he saw aliens when he went to the moon and they warned him never to come back (don't believe me, look it up for yourself). I won't go that far, but at the same time, the earth is 1 incredibly tiny speck in a universe that it so large, most of us can't even fathom it. I guess I'll steal/paraphrase a line from Jodie Foster's character in Contact. If we really are the only intelligent life in the universe, it sure seems like an awful waste of space.
I'm pretty sure if you googled any of these subjects you would end up with enough material to keep you busy with tin foil on your head (you know, to block the alien mind rays) for the foreseeable future.
But that's not my style, or the style of this blog. For better or worse, I've always wanted this blog to be a light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek look and life and family. About the only thing my theories have in common with others I've mentioned is that they're totally outlandish (or are they?). If you stumbled onto this looking for real views on serious conspiracies, sorry but you're in the wrong place. If you just want a quick respite from your daily stress, then stay tuned. Follow me down the rabbit hole of my mind and see how far it goes (Matrix reference).
