If you had been a dinosaur,
which one would you have been and why? My_blog_for_2009
I believe if I had to be a dinosaur, I would want to be an Archaeopteryx. Why? Well it is pretty…. but more than that, it’s consider the first step between reptiles and birds. I often think of myself as some kind of intermediate species. That humanity is in the process of becoming… something else and people like me are like the Archaeopteryx, not quite what humanity will be, but different enough from others that it’s noticeable. I may just be deluding myself of course, but it makes me feel better about being a freak, so I would be proud to be an Archaeopteryx and proud if, in a hundred or so years, people would look back to this era and say that this is when people started changing for the better. It’s a harmless conceit.
January 30th
The Altar of Peace, Ara Pacis, is a monument dedicated on January 9, 30 BCE by the Senate. This event is commemorated with the Festival of Peace, held in honor of the Roman goddess Pax. Pax and Irene, both meaning “Peace,” became common names in the Roman world, and Pax was imprinted on coins.
In 1948, Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated in New Delhi.
Livia was born on the 30th of January 58 BCE. In 39 B.C.E., she married Octavian Augustus and was deified in the reign of Claudius Julia Augusta.

I have never heard of that dinosaur, I have to say, but if I were a dino I would definitely want to be pretty.
“so I would be proud to be an Archaeopteryx
and proud if, in a hundred or so years, people would look back to this
era and say that this is when people started changing for the better. It’s a harmless conceit.” I really like that reason! That is so cool!
I would just want to be a dinosaur that could rip off the face of the nurse that fed me so much crap yesterday.
