Microcosm

Today's Wikipedia featured picture: two flower chafers fucking on a carrot flower head. If you
stop to think about it, life's really about two things at the very core: eating and fucking. Those two fundamental urges drive all life from these insects to the Nobel Laurates. I can't help but wonder how the concept of "romance" applies to the little freaks above. I mean, as humans, we have emotions and we find the need to explain all the things that drive us, but ultimately, if our belly is full and we have a little "piece" and quiet, we tend to be happy.

A little more jabbing into the repository of all human knowledge yields the photo to the right. What's the life expectancy on these guys? Two days? Maybe a week? In that time, they eat, they fuck, and they leave behind offspring to do it all over again. They don't grind away at a job, or stress about their mortgage. Life is fleeting . . . don't deny your most base instincts . . . now go out there and make it happen!
