A Riddle

Its more for writers, but I suppose a comprehending reader would understand the question as well and grasp its implications.

In a narrative is it/should it be: "The Narrator said it was so"? Or: "It was so and, therefore, the Narrator said it"?

I'm still debating my stance on the subject, really.

Tamborine Man



It's beautiful. I just want to drain the imagery from this man's mind, swirl it all up in a chilled glass and slurp it.... slowly.

By the hammer of Thor!

Alright, this is going to be a nasty out-of-it little post, but please bless it Lord in Jesus' name....

O.k so I'm like randomly searching blogs and stuff (great insomnia cure, you should try it Mari) and I've started to find an annoying thread amongst them all. You know how it is, you go onto a friends blog hoping for something funny, interesting, or just plain bizarre. Instead you find a full page covered in layers and layers of baby and toddler pictures. I mean god... is there really all that there is to life?

Now don't get me wrong, I love kids and I think that their great and all. It just gets to me that whenever I get on chat with most people these days, view their blog, or even go to a fellowship the main topic of discussion will be?.... yep! You got it! Childbirth, baby showers, and babies. Its bloody annoying.

Or maybe its just my cynicism about the whole thing.
I need a drink.

It seems like I'm back

And I certainly do hope so.... But, I'm not sure, you decide.

Self Deceit

I’ve often sought to fool myself
And so, I donned a mask
Off from its dusty, little shelf
And set it to its task.

But, by itself, it could not spring
A well-sufficient lie;
So colored piece-nez did I bring
To wear them on the sly.

But both of these were scant enough
To trick all those around;
I left my garb for duller stuff
Discarded on the ground

And, speaking with a newer voice,
I taught myself to say
So many things against my choice,
And social-conscience sway.

And then, to make all these complete,
A monarchs crown I wore;
And quite astounded at this feat
I glanced at, “me before”

And envied almost instantly;
Because my clumsy crown
Did fit the role so suitably
Of self turned upside-down.

And now what made me laugh, before
Would only make me frown.

Speak Engrish

So I'm reading this news article about how the Chinese are all pissed about some American mapping ship breaking their law in their waters. Kinda boring, but check out what the article said, it made me smile.

The ship, the USNS Impeccable, "broke international and Chinese laws in the South China Sea without China's permission," Ma said.

Broke Chinese law without Chinese permission....as opposed to what? Breaking it WITH their permission?

Teehee

Loneliness

Alrighty you, (yes YOU) I have something finally to say. Sit down and put on a mug of coffee or something, popcorn too if you can afford it. But its really bad for you, so you shouldn't, so if you don't have any then its o.k

Dear Jesus, please bless this time of heart sharing in Jesus' name.

I got run over by a car the other day, and now I have no feet! The doctor said I had to amputate them or else gangrene would set in. But I also read somewhere that its always best to start something serious with some stupid lie to lighten things up, so you can just disregard everything I said right there.

Seriously though, I got something really cool to share with you. I don't know if you know this, but I battle a lot with loneliness. Have ever since I was a kid, and sometimes its good, sometimes its bad, but recently it has all been topsy-turvy besides the fact that Topsy-Turvy Day already passed long ago. Anyway, the Lord has kept me through those battles and helped me through the years with them, but they never seemed to just "go away" you know? Sometimes I've tried to fill it with people, or things, but that's only made things worse for me.

But the other day I made a real brake through on it. You see... I just stopped trying!

Now I know your probably thinking, "Ooooooo.k. That sounds nice to hear." But before you start to think that I'm all joyous over nothing, let me explain. You see, before I would always try to fill the void and would only come to Jesus when I needed an extra boost in order to keep fighting. I tried reaching out to others, but that didn't work much for me either. So this time instead of trying to get rid of the feelings I was having, I tried embracing them instead. I thanked Him for the trial I was going through and that it gave me the perfect opportunity to deepen our connection together and it really worked. I feel better now then I've felt in weeks!

Now I'm not saying this to try to make you feel like I've discovered some magic pill that can take all my problems away.(Though that would be pretty cool, and if I do contact me, and I'll ship you a box of them half price.) Things are different for different people, and what works for one might not work for others. I just wanted to tell you about it, because I know that a lot of my friends have been going through these sorts of trials recently and stuff.

And I just thought that might help you out in some way.

Untitled... and for a very good reason

Baa-baa black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, the whole world full.
But I think the world's had quite enough
Of little black wool sheep.


Oh Zazu do lighten up...sing something with a little bounce in it.

"Its a small world after all--"

No, no! Anything but that!
