The end. Then what?

The time has come, the walrus said,
To speak of many things.
Of shoes and ships and ceiling wax.
Of cabbages and kings,
And why the sea is boiling hot
And whether pigs have wings.

And in the end, the mattress bends
The lightbulb flickers out
And in the darkness, what is real
Overwhelms the doubt.

What is it about people that is so intriguing? I'm walking down a street filled with people. People selling, buying, browsing. People eating, running, talking. One man is juggling ping pong balls with his mouth. There's a couple meandering down the street playing fiddles and singing. A small, bespeckled woman offers to do a caricature of me ( Read more... )

I've been a true blue diet coke drinker for as long as I've been drinking pop, and last week, for absolutely no reason at all, I started drinking diet dr pepper. Strange, I know. In fact, until last week, I thought dr pepper was quite disgusting ( Read more... )

I must be a late-bloomer. I feel like now I'm ready for things I should have been ready for 4 years ago. It's exciting, but kind of a bummer. It would have been more fun to be who I am now but 4 years earlier ( Read more... )

How fun is this? I'm writing articles on my laptop in a coffee shop. At this moment, I feel very cool. But the very fact that that is a conscious thought makes me not cool...darn, that passed much too quickly ( Read more... )

I'm awake in the middle of the night and doing nothing. I might be too old for this, but I hope not. How many times will the second hand on the clock pulse forward before my tired logic drives me to my pillow? What will happen 100 hours from now? What will happen in the mean time? I hope to be sleeping in one hour; in roughly five hours, I'll ( Read more... )

I love that each sentence people say isn't equal to another. One sentence could declare a love for meatballs, while another declares a love for a lifetime. How amazing is it that we aren't limited to middle-of-the-road phrases all the time. Our tongues do not only speak of the day-to-day. We have the power to build, conquer, and destroy with ( Read more... )

Monday is knocking and wil not be ignored. The weekend is over and what remains of it knows that it should not dare to trespass on the weekday's terrible domain ( Read more... )

Today I went to Barnes & Noble...lovely place that it is. There is something about bookstores, about being surrounded by books, that's truly awesome. I'm sure I'm being horribly cliche, but I can't help it and I don't care. I'm amazed by the amount of dedication and knowlegde surrounding me. Imagine the hours, months, and even years those men ( Read more... )

What to expect when you're expected. How much should be carried out and how much tossed aside to the bears? To live to please or be pleased to live - or both. Is that possible? Are frozen dinners really that bad? Or does pot roast reign supreme? It's hard to know...should expectations be met? And, if so, who's? My own, my husbands, my ( Read more... )
