I arrived on your planet August 7th, 1976 to observe the many customs, rituals and intricacies of your people. Though I look like you, sound like you and am highly flawed like you, I am an alien and I am a powerless visitor merely seeking knowledge. I am cursed (or blessed) with an eternally unsatiated curiosity which leads me to witness the extremes of your cultures. And what extremes they are.
As is the entire universe, your world is endlessly fascinating. Grotesque and beautiful. Intelligent but fearful. Destructive, but with a potential for boundless creativity. This ultimate power, however, hinders on fragile emotions and perceptions. You are a perfect storm of all that is horrible, mediocre and beautiful.
Welcome to your world the way that I see it.
