Genie Without My Bottle...

Wishes. Everyone makes them. Some make them through candles, some make them through coins, some through bones, some even wish through prayer. Whatever way we do it, we all catch ourselves doing it sometime in our lives. We do it in many languages. We all wish. We all wish to a higher power and let's be real, not many of those wishes actually come true, yet we still wish, each time with more and more determination, each time praying a little more for that wish.

Why do we wish? No one can really explain why humans wish. Some religions believe that their wishes will come true, if they're righteous enough to their own laws. To their own commandments. Those of us who don't have that applied to our life still wish with just as much determination and hope as the time before. As humans we're trained to give up after so many tries. It's not worth it if you don't get it one the 3,4,5,6 etc. try. Yet, with wishing, it's up to us. We continue to wish for the same things over and over and over and over again, hoping that THIS time it'll happen. No? Maybe THIS time is the time... No? Then THIS time for sure, spending 100's on pennies just to press our luck, buying rabbits foot after rabbits foot till we have a whole pack of rabbits feet on our key chains, slowly pulling down our pants from the weight in our pocket.

I've decided that I'm going to be a genie, without a bottle of course. I don't think there's a bottle that can hold my 6'5" body, so I've decided to do this non-bottle act. It won't cost anyone a penny! Those fountains are like a slot machine, rarely do you win on your first try, so they make you lose so you come back for more and more, but with this Genie, Jonny the Genie, you won't have to pay at all. your wishes will come true without anything on your part, other than the wish.

Here's my challenge, be someone's genie. It doesn't have to be anything huge, not in the least bit. Don't go buy a new house for someone or anything like that, just answer the small wishes to one or two people, and your wonderful job at granting those wishes might add up to a few pennies worth of labor. But I promise that it'll bring a smile everytime. :)

So come on. Many americans are out of work, let's take the Genies jobs!
