I'm sure something wrong is happening to me. The side of my left eye has been painful for a few days, I keep farting and yesterday I almost accidentally dug a piece of flesh out my calf (i have to admit there is a weeny bit of exaggeration here..) but instead its a very deep cut by my broken, short, sharp thumb nail. It must be a sign. I always want to 英年早逝 and Providence must be fulfilling my wish.
Speaking of which, this leads nicely to what I had been thinking about today: time capsules. For the benefit of those who have no idea what are time capsules, they are 'historic caches of goods and/or information, usually intended as a method of communication with people in the future' according to wikipedia. As I was thinking about it, I started to wonder what I would put in my own time capsule. What can I leave for the future generation(s) to find to understand my life now? And comes the next problem. Whatever that I think may be symbolic of the times now may not mean anything at all in the future. I guess this is the job of archaeologists. They find random things in the ground, buried incidentally or accidentally after time and try to make sense of their lives in the past, even if the items or fragments found may mean nothing to them at all. That is a literal piece of history that one can study.
Maybe I really should consider the possibility of leaving behind my own time capsule. And if my body is breaking down on me, I think I really should act fast.
