I always wonder why? "The stars hang freely in the sky". "I always wonder why?" "What I want to be when I grow up". "I always wonder what is out there in space". "I always wonder why I am here now in this time and place?" "I wonder who made me?" "I wonder who has a plan for me?" " I see things in the world even try to do them". "I look around and may decide to mimic someone, whether it is good or bad". "I follow by the examples set before me and have never been told I was right, or I was wrong". "In my eyes, I wish to be loved and looked out...
So Joshua was never one that could make up his mind, much less keep his word or a promise. He was always finding a reason or an excuse that he considered justifiable in explaining why he never kept anything for long. Joshua was beginning to produce some lame ones, farther from the truth, than when he had started doing this. First it was only every so often, then it was weekly and then it was daily. The longer he made them up the harder they became to be believed. It was starting to work on him to the point that he was sensing something was a...
"Who knew this would happen?" "Who knew it would as it did and when it did?" "Why the hell did this happen, when it happened, to whom it happened and of course, in the manner it was carried out?" No one knows anything about anything that happens or can happen or might happen, but then the actual happens and then the shit hits the fan. But this is not a would of, should of, could of happen, it happened and now all hell is going to be breaking loose from its bondage and wreaking havoc on those who will be put in the mix of this. Some say it wa...
"To stand up or do stand up, that is the question?" "To lay down or to be laid down?" The list of these goes on and on, like there is never an end to all that may be funny to one and not so funny to another. "To lift a lot or to do a lot of lifting?" "To be the one or to be the one you want to be?" Things like this can get confusing. It all depends on the way you word something or how you word the words that you speak. "Can it get any more confusing if this had been planned out a month in advance?" I personally do not mess with the ones who ...
So this story was supposed to be 4 different people, finding a way to make the world smile and be happy. The people chosen for this idea are as follows: A magician, a comedian, a clown and lastly, a street performer. All these people perform a service to either help others laugh and feel good about themselves, or to liven up the mood and the moment. It is surely easy for some and harder for others. So, let's say this, if the street performer teamed up with the other three, then there would be music and would lots of laughter. Along with this...
Oh the world is with many emotions and feelings and of course new and curious things that allow us to expand and venture out on our own. No matter what we find or discover to try, at first it can be scary, and we may hesitate to even begin to try new things, If nothing else, if for the uncertainty and the unknown. It varies from one thing to the next, it either will be easy and go over well, or may not be too easy and end in disaster. It is with this taking a chance moment that we see and feel that we can at least try, but even the idea can ...
I never felt like I belonged to any specific group of people or in any specific place. This stems from my childhood and has carried over into my adulthood. I was always a loner, and I really longed to belong, even if I was the one who started the No Outsiders Club. I was ready to make the changes to my own life, yet before all the time, the many times, I had tried were for nothing. I knew that I could fit in, so I adjusted to the styles of clothing and did anything to find a way to be added. Still, this was never enough, and it made me more ...
To look in the mirror and not really know who you are or even have a small idea of who you wish to be. It can leave you guessing more each day as you seek out the truth, more so if you find out you are not your parents' child by birth. You are left wondering who you belong to, who your real parents might have been, and whether there are others who feel this same way you do, lost. You think about all the possibilities and probabilities, not sure how you want to be identified as or if you want to be a part of the present when you find out the ...
Two people out of several billion people in the whole present day. These two individuals' cross paths at certain locations on a certain day of the week, at a certain hour of the day and stop at the same spot, look up and their eyes meet for the first time. They stop what they were doing at that very moment, as their eyes meet, the gaze that they share is so wonderful and mesmerizing, it's as if time stands still for them and only them. These two souls of two almost identical individuals, are immediately drawn towards each other, as if the ha...
To find a way to forgive that which someone knowingly does to another is never easy to be forgiven. It can hurt more when one tries to forgive that it can open up old wounds that were long since healed long ago. The action that took place was one that was very hard to either find a way to be forgiven, much less ever forgotten. It was part of something that was stolen from the other person and it was also so painful, it was easier to try and forget. The abandonment and the struggle one felt, was in such a way that most would judge the person ...
The bus stops at the place to let you on. You enter the open doors and look for a seat to sit in for the trip home. Looking outside the window, you are drawn to a dark shadow, with its collar pulled up to hide its features and identity. You sense that you are being followed. You lower yourself deeper into the seat so that the person whom you think is following you is not aware of you on this bus. Too late, they saw you after you had first been seated, so they ran to catch the 39 bus, but were too late to catch this bus. You feel relieved, bu...
You wake up and look at the night stand, only to realize you have had another very bad night, much less getting any sleep. This has been ongoing since you were a young boy and it seems the matter has passed on into your adulthood. You feel angry at the very idea of how people would really feel if they found out you suffer from night terrors or worse, an inability to control your thoughts and your dreams. They would judge you and scoff at you, thinking nothing good about this, much less losing respect for you, or worse yet discrediting you as...
This moment, where you are and where you are standing. You know it will happen, but what will happen, you know not of. You begin to board a late night train bound for anywhere, and heading to anywhere will be your final destination. You grab a window seat before relaxing and settling in for the long trip. You notice a lot of people that are coming aboard at this ungodly hour and most are elderly people who seem preoccupied with just getting a seat before the train lurches and creeps forward. You are getting a book ready to be read, when a ma...
To start this moment, one needs a subject or a topic and then proceed with a cause for this to happen. It will only last a noticeably short amount of time yet keep you wishing for more. Though time is not only limited and about to cease, but you can also only make one decision that could alter your life in a huge way, because of that decision you make. It can be in the blink of an eye, that what you wish for may be in your favor or may work against you. Either way you have so little time to make that decision in. You look all around you an...
"What time is it you ask?" "What time is it?" "Why should I be asked about the time, when it is a precious commodity?". Time is as precious as the air we breathe or the water we drink or being able to walk and go places freely. Time is something that makes us look at it and ponder how long we have left to live on planet Earth. Time is valuable and yet it can never have a price tag placed on it because there is never enough money you can offer and time can never be barter with or bought at ay price. No matter when you ask the question, What t...
