Super Size This


There is a storm on the planet Jupiter that is twice as large as the Earth about 300 years old and doesn’t stop, or at least it hasn't shown any signs of stopping. Just blew your mind, didn't I. Did you know that a blue whale has heart the size of a VW beetle? Blew your mind again. I was just thinking about amazing things today, mostly relating to size. The earth is 11 times smaller than Jupiter. Imagine humanity on a planet that big. We might still be exploring like Magellan. Of course, if we did live on a planet with that much mass we would probably be about 3 feet tall and have thighs like tree trunks just in order to walk around. I take that back, human's would have no chance with that much gravity. If intelligent live existed on a planet that large than it would be so different from human that it would need a different name. Maybe something like Dangpods, because they would definitely be pod people of some sort. Go Phelps!

Call & Response


Why do things happen the way they do? Why is anyone motivated to get up and go to work or anything else? I stopped contributing to this blog 2-3 years ago. Why? Because nobody noticed. Then something happened. A friend came up to visit and asked me "What the 'poop' happened to BreakfastGravy? I still check for new posts and I'm constantly disappointed." Minus the fact that it took over 2 years for someone to say this to me, it motivated me to ignite the power that is BreakfastGravy.

This brings me to my next thought. What motivates us? I am a musician (among other things) and play in a rock band that is not very active. We have been working on our 2nd album for about 4 years and haven't played a show in over a year. It was my artistic outlet into the world. BreakfastGravy was and now is my eternal conversation with world.

Call + Response = Motivation
I received a response about BreakfastGravy and that made an action to create a new blog entry.
I have not played a show with Look Alive so I have no possibilities of a response.

This situation blows! I want to keep writings songs and writing blogs and sculpting bonsai's and creating different comic book hero regardless if anyone notices or not, however I'm not sure that it can be done.
