Complete
Story.
My real name is Aristotle. I am a spaceman from another planet.
I was wandering the galaxy, in search of planets to tag.
I find entertainment
in leaving behind tell-tale traces of
intelligent life on other planets
that are uninhabited.
Your civilzation would call this practice "graffiti."
In my wanderings, I happened to come across a signal from a radio
station named "SETI."
This was a pretty good station. It made me want to trace back the signal
to the source.
My ship navigates with sound equipment. For example, as I am traveling
through space, if my vessel gets too close to a hot object, a warm humming
sound emerges from my speakers. I turn down the volume of that humming
sound, and my ship consequently navigates around the hot object (usually
a comet or small star). Needless to say, I was entirely blindsided when
I ran into the SETI Signal.
It threw me off guard. I had no way to navigate while I was listening
to it.
So I crash landed on Earth, and now I am stuck here, with only my wrecked
ship to call home.
I have been trying to repair the ship, over time.
This has been a long and arduous process.
In the course of this transition, however, I have found Earth people
to be a very strange type of folk.
They are both creative and destructive. I am only creative, so I have
half of human tendencies.
Over time, though I have grown to like it here. Now I am coming to realize
that Earth needs me.
I have decided to stick around, to produce music for this planet to hear.
I hope that my sounds will enlighten Earth creatures, and make this world
a better place.
Please help me fix the ship so I can tour.
There are 232,000,000 Paypal Accounts
on Earth, according to your Internet.
If I can reach 12,000 subscribers this year, I will be able to fix my
ship and travel.
If my spaceship is repaired, I will be able to make better music, and
inspire more people.
I want people to think creatively, and be free from the restraints of
conventional thinking.
I want people to be skillful, and have the
ability to shape the world
around them with their hands.
And I hope, above all, that Earth creatures someday learn that there
are more similarities than differences.
