No
doubt, biology got the best of me.
It
took years for me to realize that early
on
in life, say about 17, 18 years or so,
I
was duped by the science of living
organisms
which had control over me.
Science
was never an easy subject. I
failed
it twice in high school in my
sophomore
and junior years. Dropped
out
a few weeks into my senior year,
and
never returned. Enlisted in the
Army
instead. Figured marching and
stuff
instead didn’t require biology to
mess
with my head. I was wrong. Bi-
ology
stuck with me like glue, not in-
tellectually,
mind you, but intrinsically.
My
biological being knew long before
I
had the capacity to understand what
was
going on with me naturally. And
when
my girlfriend shocked me with
her
pregnancy one day, I thought to
myself,
how stupid of me. I should
have
known better. When I saw her
as
pretty and had a natural attraction,
I
hadn’t the slightest clue that this was
where
biology would eventually lead
me.
I figured that she must have failed
the
basic science of reproduction in
high
school as well. And the myth that
opposites
attract was a theory tested
which
we eventually would blow out
of
the water too. Biology, all so compli-
cated.
Took me decades to figure out.
Well,
better late than never, so they say.
I
can now claim, for all it’s worth, that I
have
become more attuned to the sciences
in
my old age. For me, astronomy is far less
troublesome.
