This post may be a little on the morbid side. I'm not sure why it popped into my head, but for some reason, it did.
Is anyone else intrigued by the thought of everything we take for granted eventually coming to an end? I'm not talking about faith, love, etc. in this case. I mean material things. The keyboard I'm typing on right now will someday cease to exist. I don't know how. It may age and crumble to dust, it may be destroyed in an accident, whatever. The fact is, it won't last forever. The cup I'm drinking my cappacino out of, the machine I made the cappacino with...eventually, they will no longer...be.
Rather than scare me, the idea fascinates me. I've always been intrigued by the idea of mortality, though. Not just death, but mortality. That probably has a lot to do with it.
A lot, if not most people, find the idea of death frightening. While I can certainly understand that, I feel differently. I'm not sure exactly why, but I find the idea of mortality quite comforting. Before I freak anybody out, I don't want to die right now. I've got a lot of things in my life I want to do before my time is up, and I hope I live a long life worth remembering. But I have to admit, I'm glad I'm not immortal, at least not in the physical sense. I truly believe that soul lives forever.
After reading all that, a person might think I'm in kind of a bad mood, but I've actually been a pretty happy camper all day long. Sleeping in till noon might have contributed to that. So could having two cappacinos, starting at 5:30 in the afternoon. 
My brother gave me an espresso/cappacino maker for Christmas, which was perfect, considering I'm a coffee-holic. I have to say, it's quite the fun little toy. I wish I could take it back to Illinois with me, but there's no way it'll fit in my luggage. I'm afraid it'll break if I try to mail it. It's just going to have to stay here in good ol' Washington until I get my own place. Hopefully, that'll be within the next 6 or 7 months. I better start polishing up my resume, so I at least have a rough idea of where I'll live (crosses fingers and prays). I guess that means I better actually start writing a resume.
Honestly, I feel like writing tonight. Considering no other ideas have popped into my head since the beginning of this post, however, I guess I'll quit. Maybe I'll work on my cafepress shop instead. I also have an idea for a game I want to make with RPG Maker XP (I'll add a link some other time). I paid 60 bucks for it, there's no way I'm not going to use it. I've been working on a storyline for it, maybe I'll do that. Anyway, I'm rambling. If I'm not back before New Year's, have a good one!
