Happy New Year! Better late than never, that's what I always say ... So, another year has passed, time to make plans for the new year, think about what went wrong last year (like my non-existent blogging) and so on and so forth ...
But, back to business, have you ever seen the Stanley Kubrik masterpiece movie 2001 A Space Odyssey which all intelligent people are praising like it was the space landing of the artistic genius?
Common ... the one with the monolith on the Moon or in outer space ... the freaking monolith that was first on Earth ...
Common, the monolith that inspired the monkeys to use tools...
Well, I don't know if you've seen it or not, but apparently someone in my office did and was quite impressed with how the monkeys gathered all around the monolith and gently touched it, like a child taking the first step from many more to come that would lead him to the greatest accomplishments of his life. The monkeys sure improved their civilization shortly after touching the monolith, so they (the people from my office that is, not the monkeys) decided to plant an inspiring monolith right in front of me and my team's desks. (Actually, our desks were planted around the monolith, but I think the story with the monolith landing among us sounds better...) We have now a small gathering around what sure looks to be an inspiring monolith. I have a feeling I will feel much inspired tomorrow when I will touch it and drain from it's wisdom...
Anyway ... back to the movie. It's crap, don't even think about watching it. Buy the book and read it.
Stay tuned, the monolith may inspire me to take a picture of it ... yea ... using tools ... I think I'd be on the right track ...
L.E.: I have gathered around the monolith ... a real enlightenment experience!!
