April 30th, 2010 Life isn’t about finding yourself, It’s about creating yourself. Never let anybody tell you that you CAN’T do something…unless its inappropriate/hazardous to your health….create yourself in a way that YOU are proud of. A way that helps you achieve your dreams and reach your potential. *Love, Sarah*

*NOTE: Sorry, everybody, but these will only be coming every two days now! Thanks for your support. ~Love, Sarah~* April 27, 2010 The proof that intelligent life exists elsewhere is that it hasn’t tried to contact us. My only commentary on this one is “Very true, why didn’t I think of that?” *Love, Sarah*

Several people are confused about what The Nearby Future is about. “I was confused,” one reader told me before I karate chopped him in the face. “What is this site all about?” Someone else asked before I drop-kicked them over three and a half continents. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to our website. [...]

High school reunions, time capsules and Facebook are all great at reminding us how much we’ve changed over the years, and how our “when I grow up I want to be…” statements have changed. Several times. It’s a magical moment when you uncover a photo, video, memory or person from your past that meant a [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, there are several things that are known to cause apocalyptic situations: Evil dictators Nuclear warfare When good TV gets canned When Glee, the show with barbed wire wit and snappy music numbers, and Chuck, the action-packed spy thriller/comedy with an endearing romantic angle, both encountered cruel and unusual hiatuses, the world went [...]

Waves surge and swell around me. Lapping at my feet. I search, not quite frantically, for a way through. I see no opening in the mass of endless sea, streching as far as the horizon. The rock upon which I balance is now soaked. The cold water sprays onto my feet and I welcome the refreshing sensation. As I accept my [...]

Five feet from my desk, Calister F. Wells emerges from a nearby broom closet. I narrow my eyes at the staff member that currently holds the position for second highest amount of views.
“So, she’s trying to convince you, huh?”
“Convince me of what?” I ask, looking around to see where the ominous music is coming from. Calister is holding a boom box. I walk over and turn it off, crossing my arms. “Jala just gave me an article.”
“She’s trying to make you believe Frozen Yogurt is better than ice cream.”

Sure, us writers of The Nearby Future can blame our lack of writing on our schedules. Or even our conflicting jiu jitsu classes. But there was a real culprit behind our lack of writing. Our theme. Our old color blocks theme killed our ideas. With a lead pipe, in the conservatory with Mr. Green. So, [...]
