To that end I thought perhaps it was time I start writing again. It's been a while since I've shared a thought and probably longer since someone actually enjoyed it, but, nonetheless, I'm looking to try something new these days, and if there's one thing I'm horrible at, it's blogs. Actually, it's basketball, but blogs come a close second.
On that note: what is one meant to write in a blog? I feel as if I should be waxing lyrically about how Obama is going to change the world or trying to convince the masses that Starbucks really is owned by the devil and run by his advocate. FAIR TRADE people, it's the way to go. GO GREEN and whilst you're at it try going ORGANIC as well; teenagers are hormonal enough without being contaminated by their burgers. SAVE A HORSE, RIDE A COWBOY (but don't forget the prophylactic!) and when you're done saving the horses why not SAVE SOME KITTENS...or PUPPIES...whichever, just check out your local pound and let the love tumble into you life. Not the pet type? ADOPT A WHALE or POLAR BEAR (before Palin gets them all). What have you got to lose? A couple dollars you probably won't need and the guilt of being socially unconscious...that's what.
Everyone's got to stand for something right? Well I'm looking to stand for the people who are already standing. I'm too indecisive to just pick a cause, so I'm rooting for the people who root for the world. After all, I like our planet- I like whale, dolphins, polar bears and trees. I think that with a little bit of effort from everyone, AIDS wouldn't be wreaking havoc on the the world and POVERTY wouldn't be a problem we cast off to the THIRD WORLD. EDUCATION shouldn't be for the lucky or the rich, but the for the child whose dreams fuel the fire of knowledge and interest. STYROFOAM should be banned. PUFFINS should be given a fighting chance. OIL should be a the centerpiece of the miracle of Chanukah, not the hope on which we rest the future. ART should be more widely spread. FILMS more easily accessible (and perhaps more reasonably priced) and POPCORN...well, popcorn should be freshly popped and not shipped in large plastic bags and heated.
So there you have it. A few of my many qualms with modern society. I won't, however, write reams of angry diatribes against contemporary culture because let's face it, most people would argue that we're better off now than we were before. Not that I agree with most people, but I enjoy sitting at Starbucks and shooting the bull with the various characters that grace its sidewalk. For all its corporate monopolizing and frustrating attempts individualism, the fact remains that were it not for Starbucks, I'd probably still be clueless as to how to get through the crossword puzzles in the Washington Post or the NY Times or more realistically, the local Newspress. Starbucks inspired me on many an occasion, contributed towards the writing of many scripts and introduced me to more than a handful of people that would later become staple characters in my writing. So I can urge you hold off on that third cup and instead buy a pair of shoes for an orphaned South African, but I won't tell you to stop going all together.
Moving on swiftly. TAXES- they're rubbish. On that, we can all agree. But as the old adage goes, 'nothing is certain but death and taxes.'
Perhaps I will leave it at that for now. Ponder for a moment the liberty inherent in the statement. After all, if death and taxes are the only things certain, than certainly anything else is possible!
Always around, never a square.
What happens when an imaginary friend finds out they are imaginary? In Confessions of an Imaginary Friend, a Memoir of Jacques Papier by Michelle Cuevas, we are introduced to the life of Jaques Papier and his sister Fleur. In school, at home and everywhere else Fleur is the popular sibling while Jaques can’t get anyone to notice him. He loves Fleur and she is not just his sister but his very best friend.
When Jaques finds out he is not really Fleur’s brother but her imaginary friend, he is sure there is some mistake. Unwilling to accept the truth, he is devastated to find that he may truly be imaginary. He begins his own quest to find out who he really is and what his future holds. How can he be real if he technically “isn’t there?”

This is just a wickedly funny and fun look at what happens when the imaginary discovers that they are imaginary. What a fun spoof of realization that would be.

Cuevas takes us into the unusual, and if you have ever had an imaginary friend or wanted one, this is a funny take on the possibilities.
