Heals The Original Dryness

i'm such a schitzo. i'm falling asleep in intro to design, and then after class i end up bouncing around talking about history to my texas boy. it was the whole full circle thing, i was so tired i was hyper. eh, he's just a wonderful boy who got me talking about the facinating realizations about history i've discovered recently. it's all from just looking at it from a different perspective. mrs. mckee would show us things from a diplomatic perspective, ms. ayers would look at thing from the intellectuals perspective, i only had ms. hof one year, but she was damn enthusiastic and would point out the human interaction side of the issues, and now i'm in a class that takes an economic and sociological perspective, and it's just the perfect angle that turns things in such a way that they CLICK, and it's FACINATING and WONDERFUL. it's just so exciting!

the chinese, in about 1200 CE, launched a marine voyage! latteen sails, huge convoy, it was huge! they got to cape of good hope, and the emperor called them back, cause they didn't NEED marine exploration. it would do nothing for the peasents and the people and feeding them and such. BUT WITH EUROPE they were on top of each other and needed more land, and they'd been fighting and trampling on their land for hundreds of years! THEY NEEDED THE EXPLORATION, the greedy, money grubbing, self serving bastards! RAWR~!

anyway, thats what i was jumping up and down about ;)
