Surprise, surprise... I'm bored yet again! *unenthusiastic shout* Lucky for the rest of you that means my creativity switches to over-drive, and something weird and wonderful must pop out. Unfortunately the window of opportunity tends to be but a small one and likes to close rather quickly. I'd better prop it open...

There. That should do it. Now, where was I...

Right. So I've come up with a game. It's called Guess What Maeghan's Thinking Right Now. Best comment wins. Entries are limited to 2 per person. Winner will receive actual prize. Good luck!

... NnnoooOO! Window is closing. "FINGERS!!" *shouts of pain*

So my blogging strike didn't work out so well. Turns out my pointless entries and randomly inspired posts are in high demand these days. I'd like to think that I made my point - This thing I call life is better than yours! *joking* But for today's blog I've opted for a simple narrative.

The present leaves me sitting here. Writing. Licking chocolate off my fingers from the Coffee Crisp I just ate. Wishing that candy was good for me and veggies were evil. Knowing that such a revolution could never be. Thinking that tomorrow will likely bring the same notions as today's.

Oh, if only Buck were here to wisk me away... *daydream*

Ninjas and Pirates agree: Cowboys suck.

So far, this is the oldest I've ever been!

:: you can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy ::

:: nothing is written. nothing must stay the same ::

Maybe that sounds like a cheesy tag but it got me thinking... what if I were to simply approach these three words with a mindset that sees change as impossible?

I don't know about you, but change is one of those uncomfortable words that I like to avoid. I'd much rather believe that some things are just too hard and I that can stop trying because it simply cannot be done. But I don't think that's right. I have a truth that says my God is the God of the impossible, so why am I still struggling with living this way?

Why can't I accept the fact that sometimes change really is impossible? What if I just chose to believe that anything can still happen regardless of the odds against me? Because impossible change is possible for God.

What if I just decided to have faith enough to live with a full out, wreckless abandon, nothing is written kind of attitude? What if that were my life's motto?

Ok, so that might be a little much, but why not? Why shouldn't I stand against the tide? Why can't I find the gravity I need to change myself and the world around me? Why should everything be written already?

:: my fellow bloggers ::

I need more reading material folks. I'm seriously bored. I'm only seeing stale pages and tiny paragraphs. Let's see some more content! And don't tell me you've got nothing to say because I'm squashing that scapegoat.

It's not that hard. See! I've got nothing to write about but yet... a second paragraph! *Oh my Lantas* (That was for you LA) You just have to be creative. Write about anything - please. Pointless banters, rants... whatever. Make it up for all I care! I read fiction, too.

Now I don't want you feel obligated to fill dead space, nor do I want you to give your stories in extreme detail, I'm just asking for a little bit of quality entertainment to waste away my day from one friend to another. Is that too much to ask?

So go! NOW! You can do it - I believe in you.

"Life is pain. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something."

:: Princess Bride ::

How true that is. Life is pain. In fact, life is pain most of the time. Good days are just that, days. Happy moments are just happy moments. For the most part, pain dominates. Pain impacts us, affects us and influences us. Pain is part of the package of being people. Because life is pain. We persevere through the pain. Through valleys, and up mountains, and over hills, and across bridges and down dead-end dirt roads... Full of pain. And as authentic as my God is about what I can expect from a short span on this spinning globe, He is just as honest about how short a span that actually is.

Because life is not pain for long. Not in the scope of eternity. Or it needn't be.

And in that is where we can find what we need and stop settling for something someone is selling to us.
