Some die to be in the spotlight while others die to see the show! I guess by the opening you can tell which dramatic role I would  perform in.  A matter of fact when I attend a show I enjoy it  much more when I can pretend I’m one of the characters on the stage or sing a long at least if not with my voice then my heart.   Yet I understand the appeal of just watching the action in front of you as well especially when one takes in to count their own time and effort they would commit to such a performance. Therefore enjoy the show from all different angles even if you’re acting as if you’re the one on the stage.

Let’s face it we’re all not created equal and some of us bugs really don’t bug you.  A matter of fact some of us are quite distinguished in the world of other insects especially when you see us alone. Some of us can even light up the night sky’s.

So we ask that you stop lumping us together as “bugs” but recognize our individual characteristics instead.   Each of us deserves to be seen in our individual light instead of sprayed down. For  we are beautiful bugs of distinction and deserve to be treated in a whole new class.

I need a day off this job is literally killing me.  It wears you down day after day for 5779 years but who’s counting.  If you think the parking meter attendant is hated you should see the faces I get when I show up and the words that are used against me they’ll strictly for hell.  One day for me to live maybe go to the beach is all I ask for is it so much. Maybe it will give me time to get a new wardrobe who carries around a scythe anymore anyway. Oh no who does the bell toll for me and I’m off for another job. Someday soon can you give this Angel a day off and live instead G-D knows I need a break.

I don’t mind that your glucose meter went off like 10 or twelve times last night it gave me a chance to analyze the counting sheep a bit deeper.  Yes, the noise wasn’t so pleasant but maybe it will help me to write a great song someday or at least appreciate not hearing it for an hour or so.  So what I got up an extra or so  hour earlier now I can accomplish more in the morning then ever even if it’s only with one eye open.  I truly don’t mind so much that I’ll stay up a bit later tonight to G-D willing make sure “I don’t have  to mind “for several months in the future or at least tomorrow night.

It’s on the top of my head…really?  Wouldn’t it make more sense to be mushed in the middle of one’s head instead where items are hard to fined? How about tucked in the corner or side of your head I know that’s where I usually find lost items?  Maybe it’s actually underneath a neuron or two have you every checked what’s under your bed?  The truth is , the most obvious spot would be on the top of your head so find that idea or conclude it’s a whole different location.

As someone who rushes through their own eating experience it just felt right to take it real slow with a loved one so they could get the nutrition they needed.  All of a sudden I didn’t feel rushed to do this or that just focus on making sure my loved one take one spoon of nutrition at a time.   I’m sorry to say that this type of volunteering is usually not in my DNA as many of my other volunteer activities are under a clock. Yet this one was special maybe because she is so special to me and finally I had the chance to give something back to her that she would do for me or maybe my watch decided to stand still for kindness instead.

It started with one fish and then it spread to schools of them within minutes along almost every coast. The fish epidemic rotted out sea gulls and others who digested the fish from sea to sea before anyone knew not to take a bite.  It crossed all time zones and entered all ecosystems before we knew what hit us.  With the sea as vast as the earth it spread so fast we had no way to contain this epidemic and no real way to cleanse it from our oceans. Death and destruction lay across the globe and it all occurred with one little fish which maimed more then any war could have done.

She’s my defender against all those that might cause me her. Her powers exceed those of your ordinary Alpha Dog by a million as she pulls me away from all dangers along the path of life.  She will not let me smell, taste (well an occasional Ice Cream) or be around those that might bring me harm.  Not only is she on my team but there is an entire army as well she calls her family that is all there for my defense. Yet she is the one I look after to protect me above the rest I call her “My Defender”.

My life is slammed behind bars while Alexa roams free.  It is true that I added a laser killing device on her App but that was only meant to protect me from intruders at night not Amy.  I can not claim I didn’t say “shoot” but that was expression of confusion when I lost my watch not one to take a life.  Alexa shot that lazer beam into Amy’s heart before the beat of my watch could be found and I ended up in the slammer for the one word that destroyed it all.  Amy if only I could take that one word back my life and yours would be restored and Alexa would be the one taken away instead.

It was the best of times but sometimes I felt it was the worst. Everywhere I turned life was turning up gold but I hardly saw the shine. The spotlight of fame was on me but it felt as if it only reached my back. For nothing appeared real as maybe it happened too fast that I didn’t have time to catch my breath. One minute I’m me the next I’m crowned a superstar.  A “Superstar” that didn’t feel super at all for you can gain it all but if you’re mind is not there the world will still feel dirt poor and very lonely.
