It will be easy to study animals because there are so many and so many more undiscovered. So I may end up cataloguing new bacteria but at least one will be named after me. I really could be a taxonomist. I would be busy for the rest of my life thats for sure. I feel like I am compulsive enough to organize all of the species and what makes them certain species and what makes that family that family and that class that class etc. That would be fun to me. But being out in the wild is even more fun. I want to hunt down illusive animals and scuba dive to see whales and go spelunking to find albino blind newts, which I now kind of feel sorry for even though they are ugly and have freaky external gills. They are so pathetic though. And their toes are cute. I want to know what they eat. But I feel my true passion is birds. I could watch my bird preen for hours. That is just one measly little pet cockatiel. I can study different parrots and owls and raptors and water fowl and penguins. Or whales. I could study whales forever. Their hearts can be as big as a VW bug. I cannot even imagine the power of that muscle.
I know this is a big word, and I would hope to stir up the pot on a definition or lets say part of the definition because I honestly think this might be one of those things that exceeds words and is actual moments, of course I speak of love. I want to just throw some things out there as part of the definition. I think that a trait that is part of love is complete patience. I don't think it is simply romantic when someone says they will wait forever, I think that is one of those real love moments. I know that in movies its all over done and put out of proportion but patience is practically gone in our society and love brings it out, true love that is. Maybe it is something about love that brings out all kinds of good traits. I am sure that I have heard that somewhere "it brings out the best in a man..." or whatever. But that sounds right. People in love are happier and make people around them happier don't they? Understanding is also one of those key traits. That does not necessarily mean agreement. It is that knowing without the person having told them. It is such a natural thing and it has to be there.
I am done babbling about love. More on that when I have some experience.
Love is the cynic's favorite word.
