Haha I sound like such a stoner in this entry. But really, anyone know how many insects there are on earth?
andrew / 2003-06-27 17:51:47wow, I reached one of the first comments. I feel special. I'm still in love with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kimmie / 2003-06-27 17:52:35And by the way, Canada's better than Hawaii. Be proud of it! And rich? Meh. You should be after hosting this site. Good-looking? Post up some photos of yourself and I will tell you. I still think you're sexy and bangable no matter what.
kimmie / 2003-06-27 17:54:05Dude... you really need to get out more. ;)
helderheid / 2003-06-27 17:54:13Haha no I know, I totally sound idiotic, but really, isn't that sort of handy, that we all weren't born to be insects? I totally sound like some stoned dude going "oh man what is the universe is a dog and our solar ystem is just a piece of dandruff on his tail man", but I never said I was deep, or smart! Just smelly.
andrew / 2003-06-27 17:55:54But if you compared those statistics... How rich is rich, and how good-looking is good-looking? And is it really better to be born in Hawaii than Canada?
Kristin / 2003-06-27 17:59:23p.s. Kimmie: Canada is okay, other than the weather, but Hawaii kicks it's ass so bad. I can see people who argue that other places in the states are better, but oh man, not anyone who has been to Hawaii.
andrew / 2003-06-27 17:59:40Oh yeah don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about not being rich, etc. (p.s. to the person who said after running diaryland they hope I am rich, i think "kimmie": that is a nice thought, I wish you were the person I tried to get a credit card from on the phone earlier, cause they had basically the opposite view from you), I just think it's funny how dumb I am that I'll have some happy "life is good" thought, and then immediately find a way to ruin it.
andrew / 2003-06-27 18:01:30Andrew:It is estimated that there are a quintillion-1,000,000,000,000,000,000 individual insects populating this planet. Entomologists have identified 800,000 different insect species, which means there are four times as many species of insects than all other animals combined.If you feel like having more info on this nutsy subject check here: http://www.planet-pets.com/plntinsc.htm And yes, you do sound like a stoned dude. ;-)
Narami / 2003-06-27 18:06:43that was the best. entry. ever.
samantha / 2003-06-27 19:00:11Yes. It is amazing. It's amazing any of us were born at all. Oh this will totally geekafy me but... it reminds me of the improbability drive for the Heart of Gold (runs and ducks)
helderheid / 2003-06-27 22:22:29I have to agree with most of the people on here, saying that this is by far the best entry written. Ever. Even though you do sound like a stoner, it is alright, because that is a very profound thought that we are born human and that we really could have been born bug. And that is exactly why we all should use our time here wisely!
Chloe / 2003-06-28 00:05:24Hum, this is an interesting topic. I've always wondered if God created everyone's soul before they were born and stored them somewhere safe until it was time to be born. I know that sounds somewhat goofy, but it's still my thought.
Tamara / 2003-06-28 00:29:13hey but think about it if people belive in being reborn alot of people are mean and not so good so they can be reborn in bug i mean heck you can be reborn in anything, so i guess a lot of people are mean and stuff if you belive in that. but yeah the topic sounds a bit wacked
lady-dra / 2003-06-28 01:02:07note to self: read Andrew more often. also, comments can be even better than diaries (but don't tell the rest of us that). statistics are fun as long as you don't read any meaning into them.
candora / 2003-06-28 03:57:19well, considering the vast majority of us were born from a human womb, there was an overwhelmingly good chance that we would be born human instead of being born as a mutant fly baby. so maybe if you look at it that way, andrew. plus, being born a canadian man is probably a lot better than being born as a hawaiian fly, too. you get to live in an igloo instead of living on a large native hawaiian man's ass or on rotting food or something. on the other hand, "cruising for chicks" is probably a lot easier being a fly because you're born with natural cruising wings and you can run into like 200,000 girl flies in a day. hmm. i think i borrowed your benicetobears bong.
thetinytiger / 2003-06-28 13:08:09dear andrew i was just curious how you could possibly know what a bug smells like i'm a really big fan as of yesterday when i stayed up all night to read your diary the entire thing then got so sleepy i had to take a 3 hour nap only to lay thier thinking if i just read really fast i can probably get through this tonight, but i was so tiered i fell asleep and got back up at 6 am just to finish you are a riot and you are the man!!
nikki / 2003-06-28 14:25:58just me again i forgot i am changing my name because thier is someone else named nikki so its now sexeluver P.S on your may 24 2002 entry about the table saw i commented it said (scince you probably dont read them a year later)cuts through wood faster than an ikea chair brakes haha i am almost as funny as you!! i'll work on that ~sexe
nikki / 2003-06-28 14:31:06i think you're good-looking! *kiss*
derwin / 2003-06-28 18:16:35*laughs* ok I'm feeling all extra-specially lucky now becuase I really was born in Hawaii, but what I want to know is what are the odds of/why does the love of my life have to have been born in Canada and stuck there right now? ya hayati.
Ana-Warda / 2003-06-28 21:03:01i dont know if this has anything to do with your entry or not, but here's something not many people think about: (this is supposed to make you feel special) there are millions and millions of sperm in an average ejaculation adn out of those millions, only one makes it and that is you!.. adn if it would have been another sperm, it would have been a totally different person, maybe not so different, but it wouldn't have been you. you are special!! yay
cristina / 2003-06-29 03:52:59wow, andrew, you are really the thinking type. i wonder about stuff like that too and it's good to write it down and get feedback. i could probably spend hours thinking about something that seems so silly, yet so profound.
unika / 2003-06-29 20:13:50hey i just signed up for a diary yay!! i cant figure out how to check my messages though maybe some one could write and tell me??
sexeluver / 2003-06-29 20:14:26in addition to what someone posted earlier, it is estimated there are AT LEAST 2 billion insect species. but, mostly, yes you *do* sound like a stoner. and aslo, you entry does rely on believing in reincarnation. or at least carnation. is that right?...
armareum / 2003-06-30 15:29:33re: helderheid's comment about the improbability drive. not that any of you care, but speaking of hitchhiker's guide and canada, i was in ottawa the other day (visiting, from philadelphia) and narc'd myself out as a complete geek by pointing out, in excited tones, the record store (i think it was a record store, by which i mean CD store, of course) on York Street called Zaphod Beeblebrox. Neither of my walking companions had read hitchhiker's, and i was sad for them.
borogoves / 2003-06-30 17:09:38What's wrong with Hawaii!!! I wasn't born there either. But yeah there's a gang of bugs out there eww!
Suzie / 2003-06-30 22:53:08Actually, Zaphod's is a bar, lots of bands play there, decent place.
andrew / 2003-06-30 23:01:54well, i spent the last 6 hours reading all the entries you have listed. do you have anymore? gimme! giiiimmeeee! you are a drug and i am a junkie for you. come on, just give me three more entries till friday. you know im good for it.
onewetleg / 2003-07-01 02:25:02LOL, following to Cristina, why are not you happy that you are not a spermatozoid... how many estimate spermatozoid exist on this planet, probably a lot more than insect!? ;-)
MickoZ / 2003-07-01 13:54:23Wow ur diary is really cool.. Love today's entry lol.
Britt / 2003-07-01 15:28:47I think I've read that the number is up above a trillion. And you flashed me back to a time when I admired insects (and dinosaurs) so much that I fantasized about how amazing it would be to live the life of a ant queen in her hill. Weird I was and am.
Carla / 2003-07-01 20:34:10Sir, I don't know if this is the place to do this but I must say you run the best Weblog hosting service and that too ad free. I live overseas and feel uneasy about using my credit card online, otherwise I for sure would be a paid member... However, if putting a small ad or something on my Blog helps, I don't mind at all (I do have your link intact). Thanks once again and God bless you. :o) - Dork.
Dork / 2003-07-01 21:44:10No, I do not mean putting an ad in return for gold membership... I meant even on my free diaryland Blog :oD. I am soon gonna get all my friends from another Blog service we have been using onto Dairyland... Why? because Dairyland is that good!
Dork / 2003-07-02 04:47:02But I am an insect! How did I get in herre? :D
Zoltan's Carapace / 2003-07-03 00:05:23your entry reminds Me of an old graffito: "Eat Sh*t!! Four trillion flies can't be wrong!!"
YDWTK / 2003-07-03 10:03:18Dude...you're a genius! You're a freakin' genius! You're awesome! I like your writing...and I think I might be a bug because I'm always getting squished by people. People step all over me. I've got footprints on my shoulders and back. Anyway, keep thinking and writing. You rock. And about in the favorite movies section of your profile...I've seen "Commited" before. Heh...I haven't any life, you see.
Yaz / 2003-07-03 10:34:17I have to agree with you on this one, Andrew. Totally lucky to not be a bug, but I still wonder why I was born to a teen mom, and a drug-addict father, and not some rich doctor....hmmm well now that I've just shared my life story I'm gonna go now! Hope all is well! *~Love ya!!
Amber Nicole / 2003-07-03 19:27:50Wishing you a happy 4th, and thank you for giving me a great read!
Melody / 2003-07-04 20:38:01Hey! I just stumbled across your diary, and you're really funny! The insect theory cracked me up lol..anyway, just wanted to say hi and that I like your diary - mind if I add you on my list?
Russi / 2003-07-05 00:47:13andrew. you make my scalp all tingly. and i'm not sure, but i think that may be a good thing. but don't tell my lover. he's very tall and i think he has some sticks. my aim screen name is hamlet incarnate. if i randomly im you, please be polite in the time between when you say, "howdy" and click "block this buddy"....thanks.
kat / 2003-07-06 05:05:46been reading your diary for a week or so now...i really have enjoyed it!!! i have these same kinds of realizations! j
jankly / 2003-07-06 17:35:45hey...ANDREW...u know what..i think being in malaysia is the best i ever had..BELIEVE ME..haha..are u handsome ;)???
alia / 2003-07-09 03:57:48hey...ANDREW...u know what..i think being in malaysia is the best i ever had..BELIEVE ME..haha..are u handsome ;)???
alia / 2003-07-09 03:59:28After reading this, I decided that I have to keep reading this diary. I saw you in my buddy list and it's been so long since I've been here, so I decided to read. It is fascinating how there are so many bugs. And the good thing about being a human and not a bug is that we don't literally get stepped on most of the time. Hey, it's better to have been born in Canada than to live in the city that is known as "The Body of Christ". Now that is just weird!
nessie / 2003-07-13 01:04:04I do often, especially these days, feel a mixture of gratitude and embarrassment that I am a citizen of the U.S. Gratitude for the fact that I can feed my children each day, and that they are receiving a good education. Embarrassment for the turmoil, heartache and bloodshed that our president is causing all around the world. And so you see, my young fellow journalist Andrew, that you are not alone in pondering existence.
Debra / 2003-07-23 05:05:52I think if you're an insect, your odds of getting a date are better....
