it all began when...

I was lying in bed last night... i don't exactly know what i was doing, but as in the case as when most epiphanies strike us, my mind just started going off on its own tangent, and before i knew it, i was coming up with the middle of some story and i realized that if i didn't write it down at once, i would forget it and wake up the next day knowing that I had thought of something incredible the previous night, but for the life of me, couldn't remember what it was. So i grabbed this old steno notebook and a leaky black ballpen that was lying around and began writing furiously.

"... until she came along. Women have a delightful way of ruining a perfectly good thing, and i'm sure that all men will agree with me on this. Look at the Garden of Eden, for example. Man was having a good old boy's night out. He was in Paradise, for Christ's sake. And then God had to ruin it all by creating Woman. And that's where all the trouble began. (isn't it just like men to blame everything that's wrong with the world on one woman?)

Along with the Woman came responsibilities and as if THAT wasn't bad enough, God also told Adam and Eve to 'go forth and multiply...'. Great. Children and parenting had come into the picture. Even MORE responsibilities! It was just too much for the poor Man to take. He had been happy with the simple pleasures of life without a Woman to complicate matters. The Woman had never known what it was to be alone and free, and She would never experience it either because She had been designed to carry another person inside herself and so her consciousness was geared towards seeking the component which would make that possible.

Thousands of years after Man had choked on the Apple of Wisdom because it was too much for him to absorb, men are still yearning for those short-lived blissful days when they were single in Paradise."

Hm. I really thought it would be a much longer entry than this. On the other hand, considering that this is the first non-work-related literary work that I've managed to do in almost a year, I would say it was decent enough.
