Jonah

Jonah

So this is the story
with its cast of characters
stages designed and dressed
costumed made up and ready to be worn
special effects brought in to mimic a storm
but the writer has been sitting
and twiddling his thumbs
He's lost the ending of the tale
does the man die
or get saved by a whale?
is the ending a surprise twist?
does anyone get what they wished?


That was totally not what I intended to write today. I guess sometimes things just have a will of their own. I wanted to write today to end off the year. It's funny cause a lot of the time, I think of my life as a movie and I, of course, think it would make a great screenplay. At this point in my life, most of the characters have been casted, the set has changed, and the ending is still totally unclear. Even the genre isn't clear. Am I staring in a movie where I play the hero? Or is it more of a modern flick where it's just a glimpse in the life of a "normal guy" where the viewers leave the theatre wondering what in the world they just saw. Farewell 2010. Peace out.
