"The Alex Show" Episode 2, part I

This is where they would normally insert a recap of the last episode, but that kind of redundancy is unnecessary to me. If you missed any segments prior to what you are reading now, simply scroll down the page and read, or tune in more often. You are not a sinner, stop being sloth.

FLASH FLASH FLASH SPIN SPIN SPIN *insert jingle and rotating silhouetted something or other here*

"I feel like I am wearing a helmet!" she screams.

ASIDE: Okay, fine... maybe a little recap.

"You are clearly not," I assure her.

"Nothing fits. I don't think these images belong to me. And these sounds, they are so strange like I am underwater."

"Can you see under the water?"

"It does not hurt, if that's what you're asking," she answers, slowly turning her head and examining the room, "but these shelves weren't here before. Where did they come from? Who put them here, and why?"

"I'm not quite sure. Perhaps you put them up before you even knew this place."

"That's just silly, Alex. I would never choose such crazy colors. Why would I need a shelf to be so exuberant? It's just a shelf! Besides, I do not have the tools."

She is more than right on that part. Even if she does have the tools, God knows she will not be able to install those shelves by herself. Someone else must have been here after all.

"Well, whoever it was was not very handy. See how your belongings tilt?" I point out.

"The way they stand is the least of my worries. How will I know where anything is anymore?!" she pouts, crossing her arms and glaring at the shelves as if a scoff will somehow scare them off the walls and out of her once lifeless room.

"How did you know where anything was before now?!"

"Everything was in its right place: the floor. 'Where is your this? Where is your that?' Easy, right on the floor! I don't know where anything is anymore!"

I know she isn't angry, just sad. She does not whirl about or attack the shelves in any physical form. She is merely standing in the middle of her room, pouting, waiting for the mirthful shelves to remove their mirthful selves out of her murky hell.

"This place was a mess," I calmly tell her, "a clutter of shuffled papers, candy wrappers, and names you have long forgotten. Your room is far colder than the rest of this house. Your window is not to blame. It may be February still, but it is warmer outside than where we are standing. Well, at least it was, but now I am comfortable. I feel full. I think these shelves are the difference. I think these shelves are here to help."

"I never wished for help!" she snaps, finally on the verge of breaking. "I only wish for things that I know can happen. I cannot be helped, Alex, let alone by a shelf!"

"That is not the point of a wish," I counter, holding her by the shoulders and pulling her close. "A wish is allowed to be selfish, impossible even! A wish should be a miracle."

"What would you know, Alex?! You never wish for anything anymore! You mean to tell me these shelves are miraculous?! That is stupid, Alex. Stupid!"

After pushing me away, she runs to the shelves and knocks her belongings back onto the floor. A shiver crawls up my spine and tears my limbs. I quiver to be warm and to be full again.

the people in "the show" will remain nameless. they know who they are, and if you tune in enough, you will, too.

We make our choices and what we write shall be kept in sights by each of your eyes so take notes with both hands for two of each novel will be nobly introduced to you to keep track of the path that we set before you!
In other words I have responded to these at the site of the garden of words to which i still tend and plant with the seeds of ideas that are contained within languages prepackaged species of flora and fauna that falls upon our earth that is not earth but is nets that are interlocked and the plot will be bought but not yet so dont fret because there is still more in store yet

New here,

I'm spending my time here for the children of Haiti.

I'm here for a non-profit group that devotes themselves to
creating an oppurunity for the children in haiti. If anybody wants to help then do so here:

[url=http://universallearningcentre.org]Donate to Haiti[/url] or Help Haiti

They provide kids in Haiti books and teach them.

Yes, they are legitimate.

It would be awesome if you could help us

So I pulled out the old credit card -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-Red%252di-with-Speakers.html]Fatman iTube 252[/url] and I've gotta tell ya I am pleasantly surprised. I actually listened to one at a friend's house several months ago and just couldn't get that sound out of my head because it impressed the heck out of me. I searched everywhere for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I called them first and asked a bunch of questions and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and made the purchase. Dispatch was fast. Everything was perfect. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they post outside of Australia but you won't be sorry if they do.

Really happy...
