not let the little things get to me

I heard that saying again the other day, and it still bugs me. The one that goes, “Shoot for the moon, because if you miss you’ll at least be in the stars.” Uh hello, no you won’t, hehe. The moon has an elliptical orbit, so it isn’t always the same distance from the Earth, but the average radius is around 238,855 miles, with the furthest distance being 252,711 miles and the closest being 221,456 miles. That being said there are 5,878,499,812,499 miles in a light year. Proxima Centauri is part of the Alpha Centauri system and is the closest star to the Earth at 4.3 light years. So in no way is it even close. Not that I want to be all crabby about a goal oriented saying, but I’m a Cancer, so I get a little touchy when it comes to things about the moon, hehe.

So this is me going against the grain. I didn’t have a place to post my little random rants, but I do now. Right now it’s the OCD stuff. Like how some of the items on my 43 things list start with capitals and others don’t. This bothers me. And the smiley face that someone put in one of them, but mine was otherwise just like it so it wouldn’t let me get rid of it. Or people mixing up then and than.

I realize that this might make me sound picky. I would say insane too, but I’m sure I manage that else where as well. But hey, what’s a blog without a rant? So this is mine.
