Ten Million and ONE Years to Earth!

Welcome to the demo of my new and improved blog, Ten Million Years to Earth!

So far, I am very pleased with the B2 Evolution blog software!

Ten Million Years to Earth is a variation on the alternate title of the brilliant Hammer Film "Quartermass and the Pit." For some reason, it was alternately titled "Five Million Years to Earth," a fscinating non sequitur. It wasn't "light years" to earth, but an incomprehensible measure of travel time.

The title stuck with me, independently of the movie, the collection of words was an odd one. "Five million years to earth" struck me as one of the lonliest, yet cosmic phrases I'd ever heard. It spoke to me of a single-mindedness, a determination that was beyond human comprehension. It is an impossible journey for any living creature to make. However, if there WAS such a creature, it would be so far beyond human that we might not even comprehend it's presence.

My blog is called "Ten Million Years to Earth" because it evokes the image of a long journey and a cosmicness that is tinged with the absurdity of the phrase. It also expresses a subtle understanding of the phrase and how it is percieved by the reader. I believe that the phrase's uniqueness and cryptology epitomize my way of thinking. Odd.
