Old and new again.

And once again my blog will actually live up to it's name. A little.

Thought #1
If arranged marriages were still a thing, I could have been married like, three or four times over by now. (Seriously, I could give you their names and the level to which their families are "shipping it.") But as it is, I've only ever been on a handful of dates. Funny how things work out

Thought#2
People should pre-write their obituaries. It'd make things a lot easier for their families later on, and that way the control freaks among us can make sure that they represent us correctly in between the lines and lines dedicated to family history filler stuff.
No, I haven't started writing mine, but I've decided on a simple phrase that I really want in there. (It's already been approved by my friend Melissa, so it must be true)
She loved a good joke and told a lot of bad ones.

Everyone will laugh in spite of themselves and they'll know that I wrote it so they won't feel bad or offended or anything and it will be perfect.

Thought #3

I use my iPod to write notes. They range from thoughts to church talks, phrases to full-on poems, and there sure are a lot of them. Today I re-discovered one that I don't think I've ever posted (what is old is new again). Even though it's in direct contrast with a previous post on Sleep, I still like both of them, so I think it's time this one found its way onto my own little corner of the internet. 

An active mind is an enemy to sleep.

Thoughts throb like a raw nerve on the very surface of the brain. 

Sleep? How can I sleep when my mind is racing faster than my feet have ever run? 

Rest? How can I rest....

Physical fatigue can only help so much. Sleep isn't borne of desire. Sleep comes unasked and unplanned in a thousand inconvenient moments. But as I lay prostrate in bed, force my breathing rhythm down and beg, it leaves me bereft. 

Sleep is not my friend. It is my mind's unconscious enemy.
