Oh Mr DNA. Where did you come from from your blood? Just one drop of your blood contains billions of strands of D. N. A. The D. N. A. Strand like me is the blueprint of life for every living thing and sometimes animals that went extinct millions of years ago. Like dinosaurs left their blueprints behind for us to find, we just had to know where to look 100 million years ago. There were mosquitoes just like today and just like today they fed on the blood of animals, even dinosaurs. Sometimes after biting a dinosaur, the mosquito would land on the branch of a tree and get stuck in the sap. After a long time the tree sap would get hard and become fossilized just like a dinosaur bone preserving the mosquito inside this fossilized tree sap which we call amber waited for millions of years with the mosquito inside until Jurassic park scientists come along using sophisticated techniques, they extract the preserved blood from the mosquito and bingo Dino, D. N. A. All my life I've lived and worked in the big city which now that I think of it as kind of a problem since I always feel uncomfortable around crowds. I mean it I have this fear of enclosed spaces. Everything makes me feel trapped all the time. You know I always tell myself there's gotta be something better out there. Everything must go back to the fact that I had a very anxious childhood. You know my my mother never had time for me when you're the middle child in a family of five million. You don't get any attention and I've always had these abandonment issues. My father was basically a drone like I've said and you know, the guy flew away when I was just a larva and my job don't get me started on because it really annoys me. I was not cut out to be a worker. I'll tell you that right now. I feel physically inadequate in my whole life. I never, never been able to lift more than 10 times my own body weight. And when you get down through it, handling dirt is, you know, it's not my idea of a rewarding career. It's this whole gung ho super organism thing that, you know, I can't get, I try, but I can't get it. I mean, the, what is it? I'm supposed to do everything for the colony. And what about my needs? What about me? I mean, I gotta believe there's someplace out there that's better than this. Otherwise I will just curl up in a laval position and weep. The whole system makes me feel insignificant Today. I'm 100. I don't feel older. I mean mentally, physically I'm tired. I walk with a cane and I've fallen a couple of times lately. I've been trying to eat right still and watch my blood sugar have to be fit and nimble for the gents. I try not to spend too much time thinking about the old times. The memories and all everyone I knew in school has passed on. Two of my Children are gone. It's just not fair for parents to bury their Children. Well, I suppose that's all I want to talk about today. Not much of a birthday when the ones you love and you miss the most are and around to share it with you.
