I'm Running Out Of Original Content

What do you do when you're running out of ideas (asking for a friend)?

I'm Running Out Of Original Content
Mother For Life

I'll just come out and say it: I'm running out of ideas.

I am pretty sure that when God/my parents/that stork made me, they decided to impact within me a finite amount of ideas. I am truly disappointed to report that this well has just about run dry.

You see, I've had a pretty good run thus far. I've used childhood stories and memories to inspire me for my Odyssey articles, stand-up sets, and comedy sketches. However, all of those stories and memories have almost all been used by now. My only option may be to change my identity and move from small village to small village for the rest of my life, repeating the same tried-and-true comedic bits that I've said before, because I simply lack the ability to come up with anything new.

It's tragic, really.

I want so badly to give you, my 3-10 (approximate) loyal readers (AKA my mom -- my dad doesn't know how to use computers and my brother is probably "too busy" -- some RAD high school teachers of mine, and the occasional friend), new and exciting content. I want to make you say, "wow" or "that's kind of funny," oh so badly, and you DESERVE to have that half-hearted chuckle on a random Monday afternoon. But I don't know what to tell you.

At this point, I'm considering getting a surgery that could change the course of my life forever. It's very risky, and there are both pros and cons. The main con is that there's a 90% chance the operation would kill me. The pro is that it'd be a brain transplant/switcheroo with Jerry Seinfeld, which would probably boost my content production substantially.


Sigh.


I'm sorry for the weak content, my loyal fans. You deserve so much better. So you know what? I'm gonna get that surgery... TOMORROW. And next week, I guess you'll just have to wait and see if a new article comes out, or if you never hear from me again.

Wish me luck!!

-Maddy/Future Jerry Seinfeld

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
