High Five
As of 1st April 2016, here are the five highly viewed (not necessarily read) entries:
- Introducing friends (263 views) I use humor to introduce some of my friends. If you are thinking, Yes, I still do talk with them, well some of them at least.
- As witches you shall burn (255 views) This is an excerpt of an intense thriller, suspense, crime story with intermingled twists of science, religion and more. I haven’t been able to complete it yet.
- Remedy for loading and unloading (207 views) An innovative product idea attempting to make life easy.
- Quest for Publication (199 views) My desire to have my photographs published or bought. Since the publication of this entry I have been able to sell one photograph and have one on the cover of a school magazine. More on this later.
- From father to son (157 views) A few humorous words of wisdom for a son by his father.
From Humor to Photography to Innovation to Thriller and Suspense to more, I hope you have enjoyed the versatility and diversity of my entries.
Happy Reading!
Thank you for Reading.

Flight
time – 45mins
·
Time spent
in flight on the ground in LA – 1 hour 15mins
08.45: Starting
the drive from the rental company to the customer location in Santa Ana for my 09.30
(75mins behind schedule, stopped counting).
Time to destination 1 hour.
09.40: At the
customer’s parking lot. Cannot reach the other team members attending the
meeting
09.45: Meeting done. Everyone is out and I meet my team in the
parking lot (man!)
10.45: Team
drives to the airport for their other meetings (30mins later they find out their flight is cancelled. Not delayed,
CANCELLED. HAHA)
10.45: My return
flight is at 19.50 because this meeting was original scheduled to be at 15.30, rescheduled
last minute.
Now I have around 6 hours to kill, hmm, decide to go hike
the Corona Del Mar, along the Newport Beach, in business formal clothes and
shoes. With absolutely no regards to what people, and there were many in
bathing suits, would think when they see me exaggeratedly dressed for a beach, that’s
how much I enjoy hiking and in turn photography.
Here are some pictures and I highly recommend this spot.
18.00: At the Los Angeles Airport, my return flight is delayed, new departure time 20.30, thankfully just delayed and not cancelled.

Moral: Always carry a pair of change and comfortable shoes.

An Alternate Hypothesis to the K-Pg Extinction
The K–Pg
(Cretaceous–Paleogene) extinction event
was the day an asteroid crashed into Earth, destroyed the Dinosaurs, and others,
and assisted in our evolution.
According to my theory, the catastrophe wasn’t caused by an asteroid
but by our superior self. Here’s how:
Several hundred millenniums back, life existed on a planet,
yet unknown to us today, but hypothesized to be beyond EGS-zs8-1, the most distant
and oldest galaxy known by man today. The life form on this planet called themselves
Zoirians.
Zoirians were facing extinction, due to depletion of their planet’s
natural resources, and a group of elite Zoirian engineers and scientists were
tasked to save their kind. From their scanning of the infinite space, they
found planets billion of light years away that could support life forms, if
treated correctly. Zoirians devised an ingenious plan.
Zoirians developed a sophisticated, first of its kind, vessel
capable of traveling billion of light years to these alternative planets. They armed
the vessel with ionic guns capable of causing the catastrophe (what humans call
K-Pg extinction). Once the native life forms on these alternative planets were
destroyed, the same guns would release life regenerative ions that would render
the planet fertile for their existence. In addition, the vessel also carried a single
celled simple organism payload. This single celled simple organism when released
on the surface would grow, evolve and become a Zoirian (Homosapien as we call it
now). The only problem with the plan was that it pushed the Zoirians to a very
primitive form.
Wave a scientific and theoretical physics wand on this premise
and we will have a mind numbing and yet plausible alternative theory to how life
began on Earth.

So who wants to make the next award winning sci-fi movie?
