Which End of The Stick?
Written for February - SHORT MONTH, SHORT BLOGS
Word Count: A short 209

Since I can't go to the bar until Friday (see "Andre's Pet Peeve" Open in new Window.), I decided to go for a short walk this afternoon. It's nice out (not nice enough for shorts) for February, but the nice weather is going to be short. Yes, by tonight we will have rain, by tomorrow night it will become snow, and by Friday, it will be colder. Of course, that's all hearsay from forecasters who often come up short and are short-sighted.

Despite having a short attention span, I began to think about being barred from the bar; "I got the short end of the stick," I thought. Also, as a result of my short attention span, I started thinking about the short end of a stick so I bent down and picked up a short stick. It was about three feet in length, so yeah, it was relatively short but as for one end being shorter than the other, they seemed to be the same. One was thicker, but neither was shorter!

I went home, making it a short walk, to record my epiphany: There is no short end to a stick, but you can get the thin end!

Sorry for all the shorts, but Andre wants a lot of short entries.

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?" "Writing is my passion."
