Here in this blog I will share with you, oh weary wanderer of the Internets, some of my creative endeavors.

The views are incredible. This nebula is massive, dark, yet simply exploding with new stars, and unlike anything in the catalog. Every spot, every single point of light in this image is a star within this nebula.

Got a good start on re-organizing the stores over the past day.


I've dived in musically to something called Epic, which I have to say is a good description. It is a combination of Orchestral, Rock, Metal, and Electronic music. When done well it is the best thing to have ever graced my ears. When done poorly, it sucks. I'm also fond of something called Cyber-punk. There isn't much of it, but it is really good. A mix of Metal or Rock, with electronic. Really can get the blood pumping, or to just relax too.


I have learned that music does a fantastic job of altering or modifying my mood, even effecting me emotionally. I'm guessing that much of what is listed as being on the banned list is on the list for these reasons.


I've been checking the telescopes and sensors every so often, looking over the feed as the system zooms in on distant objects to try and identify them, classify them, and then labeling them, as it tries to figure out the location. The estimate to determining where we are has gone up. So I'm going to be coasting for at least two weeks. Which seems like a long time, and I suppose it is.


I'm pretty much convinced that I am no where within the known worlds, or even somewhere close. If I was, it would have taken the system a few hours at most. I wonder if I am even still in the same galactic arm.


Wouldn't that be something. Not only traveling the farthest, farther and faster than anyone before me, but to have actually left the nearest space to all of the colonies we have established thus far. It would be something, and it scares me that such would be the case. If that is so. How in all the hells and heavens, of all the ancient religions, do I find my way home?


Given the time it is going to take, assuming that the system is ever able to actually tell me where I am, I am glad for the extensive stores. Not only that. I now suspect, given these facts, that they gave me all the training for this very reason. I am beginning to think that they quite literally did not know how the drive actually worked, how far I would get. So they prepared me for the literal worst case. Being lost.


I kinda think I might be lost.....
