The Present You
You are a fluid, ever-changing person. So tell me about the current you. Who are you right now? Who are you now that you haven't been before? Who won't you ever be again? What are your current goals, challenges and emotions, and how do they differ from the past and future? How have you changed, and how will you change? What about you has remained constant? How do you feel about your current self? How are you molding, expressing, and using your current identity? In any form, tell me who you are in the present moment. Don't hold back.

An Imaginary Three-some

One of us is crazy. They must be, to hang out with the others. I think it might be me... but I'm not sure which one that is?

You see Chuck created Huck, who created General Sherman. Chuck was also created from nothing by someone else or two, so we could all be real, right? Even if we could start all over from scratch, which we could all do... or maybe not? Or we could all be fiction, which is real in itself, so who are you to say? If I wrote you into a story, as I have written... say... Pooky-Bear into some of my stories, would that make you fiction? Or real? Did it make her real, even? How about if I wrote her into a fictional story? In your mind it might make her real, or fictional, so climb down off of your high horse. Perhaps you are the crazy one! Let's face it, you are only reading this because of the title anyhow... now that is crazy!

I mean, I could mention any one of the three of us and some of you would know who I was talking about, wouldn't you? You would probably even have some kind of opinion on us, even though you've never met us, and couldn't be sure any of us are real, but who are you, anyways? Some made up name on a made up website, with a made up personality and a made up profile pict who may or may not read anything I write, and I may or may not even know that you read it if you did? Unless you "liked" it, of course... and reposted it. You might be real then. And if you commented on it, that would surely make you real, wouldn't it? Even if the face you show us is not? Yes... yes it would make you real, or at least real enough, so please do!

Damn, we're all crazy as hell, aren't we?

Come on Huckleberry and General Sherman, let's go find Pooky-Bear and get some lunch. All this craziness is making me hungry for a peanut butter and banana sandwich.
