That's it! You hit it FiahOwl.
Hellpotatoe -I guess- is from Brazil, an awful bacchus style hellhole. Gotta tell you man, people do not realize how lucky they are to "just" be alive.
Talk about mass, what's the mass of this planet?! How many atoms? At least a couple of hundred mebushuazillions of atoms. How lucky is to you, that some of those rearrange themselves to form... you?!
Live is precious, very! And material shistuff as good as it may feel, look and sometimes sound, is extremely overrated!!!
I like to think that life has a profound meaning. If you think about it, you'll soon realize that buying an iPod, living in a 5 bedroom house or whatever most people might see as the end to a lot of means, is no more than superfluous goals that diminish us as a race and shrink a person glory to the most basic animal levels.
PS: Next year (or this one), if you don't have the cash to go visit your family, drop me a line, I'll be glad to pay the trip for you!
