this one, my dear, this one is a real blog post. *grin*

so i work full-time as a nanny of four kids. it's crazy, don't get me wrong, but i absolutely love it. three of the four are boys, and today we were running around the back yard, playing dodgeball, etc. quote of the day? 

"my dad needs to seaweed around our playhouse." 

me: "i think you mean weed-eat." 

"yeah... that."

kids say the darndest things. :) 

and the point is...

i've been trying for years to start and keep a blog going. every time, i've failed. i choose to blame the obvious reason, that i had zero followers, as opposed to the more likely reason, that i had zero patience, time, or discipline when i had time. now that i've grown a bit more patient, a bit more disciplined, and well, i have the same amount of time, i'll try again.

the point is, i've begun this blog for a reason. yesterday evening i was typing away at my facebook status and suddenly it dawned on me: facebook statuses (what the plural form of that word is, i can't figure out) are far too short and therefore limit what i have to say. and frankly, i have a lot to say.

now to fully understand me, you'll have to be very forgiving and very imaginative, and even then, i've yet to meet someone who fully understands (other than Jesus). see, my brain works in fantasies and "what-if"s, random questions and urges to do things that i'll probably never do.

for example:
i have a fantasy that screenplay writers around the world are quite bored. every movie that can be made, has been made, it seems, and their latest ideas are cliché spin-offs of old 70s movies or tv shows. nothing unique, nothing original. so somewhere, this poor screenplay writer is about to give up all hope. he's been typing away at his screenplay typewriter for years, but everything seems to be running dry. until... one day... he stumbles across a find that will change movie-making as the world knows it. original ideas, hysterical lines, quotable characters, you name it. he stumbles across...

my mind.

he gasps, and cries in joy, "this is what i've been waiting for!!"

is that arrogant?

i choose to believe it's not.
