Everybody in McDonald's Drive-thru Lane is Dissatisfied.

A flying beetle frantically runs into a florescent light located in a dark, dingy McDonald's parking lot and plummets to the black top, backside down.

Nobody in the drive-thru lane has any idea.

The beetle whirs and kicks its tiny limbs, shuffling about, circling, struggling to regain an upright position.

It takes a beat, a breath. Its shadow dances slowly.

Nobody in the drive-thru lane has any idea.

It flails around some more and, still, cannot seem to find its way back on its legs, back in the air.

The car at the front of the drive-thru line moves on and the rest of the cars proceed forward. A man complains about a petty order issue--some kind of coupon or receipt thing--and demands to see the manager. The woman in the car behind his grumbles about the man complaining and says, "GOD! Hurry up!" The group of teenagers in the car behind hers are taking "so damn long to order," according to the middle-aged couple in the car behind the teens.

Everybody in McDonald's drive-thru lane is dissatisfied.

And a flying beetle can't get off its back.

Hooray!!! Finally, a new post!!!
I really like it. Coincidentally, I was up at Simpson Park enjoying the sunrise and I shared my curiosity about a beetle with a few friends. The little bugger was going so fast in one specific direction so I decided to put my hand in front of it, causing it to go the opposite direction. I wondered where it was going. Perhaps to a tea party or some other meeting with the other beeds? Who knows, I might have changed it's destiny!

I should be posting a couple new ones since I am taking psych.

Keep a look out. :]

Aw, I am glad you still read these things! :)

That has kind of been my new years resolution: really observe the small things this year.

It's insane to think of what that small beetle might have done had you not put your hand out and changed its course. I really do look forward to reading your posts, though!

Hope you are well! :)

Yes, I remember sharing those new years thoughts. Mine was to be conscious of more breaths. :]

Everything is going well over here. I hope the same for you!

I really need to start writing. I should be posting a few of my essays here pretty soon! :]
That was another one of my resolutions! I need to make up for them!
