it's probably because comparatively you are really tiny in the real world.
 
how many times have you looked at the earth from space?
i've only been in "space" 3 times. that's not enough to know what earth looks like.
 
quit being so hard on yourself. from my 3 times with that point of view, i think you've hit the nail on the head.
 
if you need some help from someone who's been there, here is my log entry from day 42,437 of my initial space voyage; the day we first saw earth:
 
*************************************************
LOG ENTRY #2,423,512 - DAY 42437 
*************************************************
 
Fuel: Full, but stock is starting to deplete. We are nearing a new planet which has a lot of gasses that could continue us for another 57m light years.
 
Nutrients: The life cycle "Circle" is nearing perfection. We have about 2-3m light years of children left to consume before reproduction is needed again.
 
Exploration: Yesterday we entered a new galaxy so thick with stars that it appears milky. We are nearing a planet rich with atmospheric gasses. From what we can tell, there is physical life on this planet so we will need to proceed with caution. 
 
Personal: My fight with my lover, ManlyMan, yesterday is making me desire relocation to one of these planets we visit on our voyage. Maybe visitation to this next planet, or his continual need to pinch my butt, will push me to stay.

Can you please show me your portfolio?
 
by the way, your pics above aren't showing...

The weather outside might be frightful, but the first PickAxis epic build contest is oh so delightful. Take a break from roasting chestnuts on an open fire (sounds hazardous anyway) and build yourself an amazing winter wonderland. Show the world your vision of an ideal winter scene!

How to Enter
Anyone wishing to enter as a contestant should claim a plot in the Snowed In Creative Server (/server buildcontest), accessible from the PickAxis main Hub. Players can build with other people, but if the build wins a prize, contributing players must split the prize.

When to Build
Contestants will have from December 13 until January 3 at 11:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time. After that, the elves of PickAxis will select their new winter home.

What to Win
Judges will choose three top builds and award the following prizes:
First Place Prize - $50 PickAxis credit Second Place Prize - $30 PickAxis credit Third Place Prize - $20 PickAxis credit Announcing the Winners
The winners will be announced here on PickAxis the week of January 4.

Official Rules
Builds cannot be offensive. All builds must have a holiday theme. What you build (for example: igloo, ice palace, snow village, etc.) is up to you. Your build should illustrate a winter-themed wonderland. All builds, to be considered as an official entry, must be marked completed using the command /plot done. Any builds not marked as completed by the close of the contest on January 4, 2015 at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) will not be judged as an entry. Criteria for judging, based on a 10 point scale, are as follows: creativity, originality, winter theme, and design. Point totals will not be made public. Have fun! Tips for Entries
To get started and find your plot, use the command /plot auto. If your entry requires elements not set as the default environment in the contest world, instructions should be placed on a sign at the border of your entry plot, facing towards the path. Elements can include a day/night element or weather. Any questions on other possible element capabilities should be messaged to helios8385 Admin here on the forums. If there is a component of interaction involved with your entry, this must be explicitly and obviously noted on your contest plot. A sign along the outside edge of the plot, facing outwards towards the path, will suffice. All features of a creative server are enabled, including WorldEdit and redstone. Any questions on how to use World Edit should be searched. Please don't bother the staff about your build.

lol!  I don't know how to count above 19.  I hope this doesn't hinder the game.

You mean, call it "Miku"?

Time zone translation:

10pm CET =

3pm CST (Texas)
2pm Mountain (Colorado)
1pm PST (California)

Hey Vertigolf,
 
Thanks for the suggestion!  I've added /realtime, which should become available on all servers over the next day or so as they pull in the update.

I'm going to buy Lucy a Minecraft account so she can vote too. 

Just saying: Maybe even better prizes come with a full month of voting.
 
Ooops!  Did I really write that?  Or was I just thinking about it?
Hmm...we'll see.

Alright, Alright, I got distracted last month and forgot to vote a few times but this month I shall be victorious > : )

Yeah, that does sound bad. We originally put up worldedit to test for ourselves what levels we could offer and to make sure it worked.  We left it up until the store was ready.  I apologize for not clearly communicating that.  Remember that this network is still in beta and things are bound to change.  I hope you can quickly get your tokens to unlock worldedit.

She's checking you out, mang
