I like to write to explore to learn to share to give to become a better human being as I am as I was as I will be as I think as I feel as I increase my self-mastery my choices my rights my goals my plights my senses my sights of things that I see in the bold the selfless the inspired the mysterious the heaven-sent gold. I hope you find it a pleasant place to visit once in a while!

One century.
I think the numer 100 is still one of the cooler numbers around. I actually remember as a young child that it seemed like a milestone for one's counting capabilities. It seemed so big and cool... the first triple-digit number... the first one with two 0s, too.(whoah... 100 and too are quite visibly similar... never noticed that before) 100 also had it's own name: Century. And even though the intricacies of the latin naming conventions took years to unfold many of their delicious mysteries unto my mind I have always been happy with Century. A cent is 1/100th part of a dollar, also likely a short form of percent. A centurion was the leader of 100 men. It gains its bigness in the typical reference to 100 years of time. Which is a ripe old age that I myself would like to see in the flesh(robot, cryo-freezing, seance-induced, twinkie-saturation excluded.) I would not mind even being named 100. Sure, why not? It is certainly easy to remember and spell!
