Rocking 28's On A Rocketship

Hi, I'm Alan. I like to kick peoples butts. I like videogames, comics, nerd stuff, things I think are funny,etc. I post whatever. From time to time I'll post raps I wrote or what's going on in my life

I feel mildly unfulfilled. Today I was having something of an internal crisis, with the usual “where do I belong?” and “what am I doing wrong?” “do my friends enjoy my company?” type things. Kind of put a damper on plans and stuff. But I’m feeling a little better. I’ve been taking steps at bettering myself, little by little. I want to be someone to take pride in. Everyone has setbacks and off days, blah blah blah, encouraging shit. I hope that if I put up with the feeling shitty about things and keep trying to be positive and dragging my mangled self towards a better me, things will get better. I’ve had a couple small personal victories but I need to go further, fly higher, be stronger, whatever dumb terminology. Overcoming one’s flaws is hard as shit, especially when they’re passive flaws like worrying and paranoia. I should probably identify the things that make me worry/paranoid and then analyze why they make me worry/paranoid and why that’s irrational/illogical.

If Earth Had Rings

First off, they would be really pretty to look at. They would also dominate the sky in both night and day at exactly the same place as they would never rise nor set. And at night you would see the Earth’s shadow swing across the rings, like in the 4th photo here.

However, life would be very different on Earth if this were the case. Nocturnal animals would have a hard time being nocturnal, as the light reflecting from the rings would illuminate the night.

Because we are closer to the Sun than Saturn is, the rings would be more rocky than ice, making them less bright but still pretty bright. In fact, you would see far less stars at night (living anywhere other than the equator or the arctic circle) because of the light pollution and not to mention ruin most meteor showers because of that.

During the day the rings would block sunlight in certain regions of the planet creating wild weather cycles and effecting plant life as well. So basically, they would be definitely pretty to look at but they would also make a whole lot of things screwy.
