A Gift I'd Like to Give

A friend of mine has died recently. I have no idea how or why it happened, all I know is that a good friend and a wonderful person is now gone. I had the privilege of attending a memorial service to commemorate and celebrate his life. During the service, those who mourned had the opportunity to say what was on their minds and in their hearts... I hope that what I shared helped, but what was said helped me more. My friend left his mark on the world, a legacy that defies even death. Several people talked about the mark he made in life, and pointed out that we have that power as well. With that power comes a realization. I want to leave this world a better place than it was before. I want my mark or inflence to live on in the people whose lives I touch.

The gift I'd like to give...is My mark on the world.

The quest of leaving a mark on the world seemed a huge challenge for me. On the way back from the memorial service, I put a lot of thought into how I could make a positive change in the world. Thoughts of feeding Africa, and curing cancer flotaed to my mind. The Peace Corps. and the Salvation Army loomed over me, saying, "You want to leave your mark? Do you want to make a difference? Step up." It shook the foundation of my hope to be a force for good. Although those orginizations or accomplishments would undoubtedly leave a mark, they weren't things that I wanted to do. I shook my head, shrugged off the notion that I could leave my mark, and went on my way.

Life went on. As I continued doing what I normaly do, I discovered something. It doesn't take finding a cure for cancer to leave a mark. All it takes is trying your very hardest, to be the best person you can be. I hope that I have made a positive change, and left my tiny mark on the world.

Several people talked about the mark that he made during his life, and pointed out that we have that kind of power as well. With that power comes a realization.

Love Poem

Love is astronomical.
The players are like molecules drifting throughout the universe.
Should the right particles meet, they bond and become one.
But there are infinite amounts of molecules in the universe.
My perfect element is close, so close, yet we do not bond.
And space is very empty.

I Remember

I remember pie.
It is delicious, and good.
I like to eat it.

I remember chess.
I totally suck at chess.
I always get smoked.

I remember work.
Teaching ax safety to scouts.
A "little" scary.

I remember times,
When "Power Rangers" was cool.
It is not cool now.

I remember hating poetry. Oh wait, I still do.

Journal Entry-Scene it

A council has been called. In the meeting, there are a bunch of dwarves, elves, men, two midgets, and an old man with a stick. They are discussing the fate of a shiny golden ring, which is the most evil thing ever. Different races start saying snarky stuff about everyone elses' race, and a fight erupts. One of the midgets freaks out, and sees flame devouring everybody in the band of the ring. The midget settles the dispute by yelling, "I will take it! I will take the Ring to Mordor!" The old guy with the stick winces, and everyone looks dumbfounded. A man, elf, and dwarf pledge their sword, bow, and axe to protect the little guy. Another midget suddenly bursts out of the brush and runs to the other midget's side. Then two more reveal themselves. The head elf looks pissed. The says, "So be it. You shall be the Fellowship, of the Ring!" and the epic music swells. One of the short ones responds with, "Great! So, where are we going?" His friend looks at him like he's a retard, and everybody in the audience laughs.

The End

Impulse 2

Ivan-What? Haven't you ever seen a midget before?!!!
Bill-Actually no, but that's not why I'm staring.
Ivan-Then what is it?
Bill-I recognize you
Ivan-I get that all the time. I'm never who people think I am.
Bill-I know I've seen you before.
Ivan-If you haven't seen a midget before, then you definutely haven't seen me before.
Bill-Iv'e seen you on TV somewhere.
Ivan-(Under breath) Crud...
Bill-Oh my gosh! You're that guy who punched the whale!
Ivan-Ugh.
Bill-I just have one question, why did you punch that peaceful creature?
Ivan-Don't you start! How was I supposed to know the thing would freak out and beach itself? And another thing, how did it even feel my midget punch? Whales have like 500 layers of fat!
Bill-Why though?
Ivan-50 bucks and all the pina coladas I could drink, that's why.
Bill-Whale puncher...
Ivan-Good day sir, I hope all your goldfish die.
(Ivan collects his coat, and leaves in a huff.)
