narration

'i can't do this all on my own
i'm no superman'

the theme song to scrubs

the show cracks me up.
it's a very down to earth show
and human in many ways.


i feel like i do the exact same thing as dr. dorian...
i narrate my life...

yesterday i got two christmas cards in the mail
the first one of the coolest cards i've seen
you turn this wheel and the snowflake becomes a star
at first i thought it was more of an advertisement
than a christmas card
then i opened to see that it was from my previous firm
with all their names signed all over

however
my name isn't on the card
and so the people signing the card
don't even know who the card goes out to
as the hundreds they sign
the only thought could be
how many more are there

the second one
honestly i wasn't so impressed
but words from a friend on the inside
make it much more meaningful than the first
it could just as well be a piece of paper with words
and it could well surpass the first

and then
taking a look at the back of the card
it says it was painted by mouth
by someone with disability

the irony
the first made by a large corporation
the second made for charity

everyday is made up of tests

some are tests of character
some are tests of fortitude
some are tests of friendship

it's the kid inside of us that keeps us from going crazy
it's the nervous laughter that keeps us sane
it's to help others to let us know we have a purpose
it's to let ourselves be helped so that we are reminded
we can't do everything on our own
