I Dream of...Jupiter?


So this weekend I had the most strange but beautiful dream. We took a family vacation, not to Aruba or Punta Cana, but to Jupiter, which I didn't realize where it was until a little after we got there. We arrived, and the airport was in the middle of a jungle like setting (similar to Donkey Kong's Jungle), as seen below. We unboarded on a boardwalk. Something I noticed was breathing was completely normal, but gravity was a little bit different.


Our vacation spot was like a Greek island. Across from the island on one side you saw a Greek-like cliff town, with the Greek flag flying (maybe they colonized this planet or part of it, who knows). 


There were so many moons, constantly rising and setting. It was here when I reallized we were on Jupiter, because Jupiter has 16 moons. Some were larger than others, some stayed in the horizon longer than others. Below would be the view from the beach on the other side of the island, with multiple moons in the sky at the same time.


Something I found strange was that there was ice under the sand, but it was a good feeling because the while the sun was warm, the sand was kind of cool, and the ice beneath didn't melt. You could only find the ice when you would dig, about 6" down. We also got lucky enough one night to catch a glimpse of Saturn. The picture below shows what Saturn had looked like, and the slick ice beneath the sand.


Come sunset it was still warm, and this is when  you got the best view of the moons rising and setting, when the sky was a red/pink color. Yes, it was only a dream, but it was the most beautiful place I had ever seen, and I tried google searching and finding the perfect pictures that showed almost exactly what it looked like in my dream, and all pictures above and below do just that, portray it almost exactly as I saw it.



Song of the Day

Title: Sunny and 75
Artist: Joe Nichols


I know this song is better suited for fall or winter when it actually gets cold, but after this weekend of grey clouds and rain when I planned to be on the beach I think this is an appropriate song for today. If for no other reason because it's Monday.




Quote of the Day

"Pessimism comes from the temperament, optimism from the will"
-Alain, French Philosopher


This quote makes you think a little. Naturally I am a very optimistic person, maybe because I am very strong willed? However sometimes when I am having that bad day or feeling down I can be pessimistic, and I guess that would be coming from my temperament at the time. I have been told that my ideas can be unrealistic, and that I am too optimistic about them. But nothing is impossible and I try my best to make those things happen and prove people wrong.
