The Untold Story of Sock Puppet

Ah the sock puppet. Where to begin where to begin. I suppose it all started in another life. 1910 to be exact. I was a shoeshine boy on the corner of 5th and Broadway. Well, one day as I was shining a fella's shoes, instead of paying me he gave me a sock puppet. Yep, I got a used sock puppet. He had said she always brought him luck, so I took it, cursed at the guy for not giving me money and went on my way. He was the last shoe shine of the day.

Well I tell ya, that sock puppet wouldn't keep quiet. She was always talking about this that and the other. Her stories never got old though, yep she had dreams of moving overseas and seeing the world. Well, being a sock puppet, she could never get over there. Poor lass. But she did keep me company on those lonely nights when I had no one to talk to.

Now Peach, the Jelly Bean. Well, that's an even longer story... we'll get to that one in a moment or two... :-)

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Life Isn't Easy

Let's face it, life isn't easy. It comes and goes, and we are stuck with it. That's the reality of it all now isn't it. No, that wasn't a question. I wish I could fix it all for everyone, but that doesn't seem to be possible. How would I fix it exactly? I'm not sure. It just would be nice to be able to tell everyone that everything will be okay in the end, and have everyone be content. Naturally people would take that in different ways. No one thinks along the same wavelength. It's a thing, I guess. But life, life isn't easy. There are so many things that we have to conquer in this life. So many things we have to deal with and battle. There isn't one simple solution to any of it. I would like there to be a solution for everything, but there isn't. I wish I could think differently. I don't believe I am able to think that way though. My brain is stuck in whatever place it's stuck. Such an odd concept to be stuck in some place without be...
