I totally know what you mean about the history thing - when I watch Little House on the Praire (shut up
) I just think about how all that stuff that they so inaccurately portray was not that long ago in the grand scheme of things....it's crazy.
Also - the amount of stuff we have - I think about that a lot - and how pretty much all of it is useless in the grand scheme of things - I have things around to entertain myself - but I try not to get too materialistic.
The night sky always blows my mind. I can sit/lay and stare at the sky forever...
Airplanes and the whole flying thing blows my mind...and fightens me - how they keep a multi-ton hunk of metal full of people in the air is beyond me - and I LOVE flying through or over clouds...BLOWS MY MIND!
