In the VERY Beginning there was nothing (that we can reasonably know of by direct experience). Eventually something showed up and it was really hot. Then it cooled down.
With advent of Something, Somewhere was created to put it and Stuff made out of it. Stars, galaxies, et cetra. (or is it the other way round?)
Eventually there was enough dust was left about to make some planets (about 10.5-billion years). The start of the Music of Spheres was sounded, but nobody (sentient organic lifeform bias there, I am afraid) is around to hear it.
Quite rapidly (500-million years) life formed within waters of the planet number three. And the Age of the Not-Quite-Life started and lasted for about 3-billion years.
1.5-billion years of life forms come and go - providing many years of enjoyment for eventual fossil collectors everywhere (well, here anyways).
50-thousand years ago some previous lifeforms develop gardening and herding, along with tools to work these professions - eventually spawing television shopping networks hawking these goods.
The 50-thousand years following can be briefly described as a journey experimenting in social systems, so times call civilizations, dynasties, book-of-the-month-clubs, et cetra, usually punctuated with catastrophic events (famine, war, mail fraud).
After being born and living for while, I ended up here.
Stuck for an ending -- stay tune!
