Night sky full of stars


So, on my computer I have this new, uh...I don't know what you call it...

Explain it to me, farmboy.

It's what you see when your computer's on but you're not connected to anything, like the internet or iTunes or something.

The desktop?

Yeah, I think so.

Anyway, I have this new picture as my desktop and it makes me really happy when I see it.

What's it of?

It's a night sky full of stars. And near the bottom, standing on the earth, are Calvin and Hobbes.

The Bill Watterson comic strip? The kid and the tiger?

Yeah.

I love that comic strip.

Oh, yeah, me too. It's, like, the best ever.

So, anyway, Calvin and Hobbes are silent, and just staring at all these stars in the blackness of the sky.

And just seeing that, uh, desktop thing just makes me happy and...I'm not sure how to define it...safe or loved...or something. Wonder.

And in a world that we human beings keep fuckin' up, that feeling is so fuckin' great, like life is worth living and life is a great privilege.

Now that's a good comic strip.

Fuckin' right, man.
