Don't really want to focus too much on anything.
In fact I'm really in much of a mood for anything right now! Feeling kind of lazy, so I'll just post a little piece of something that I've been working on.

**************************

A long time ago there lived a race of peaceful pancakes. They were strong pancakes who valued warmth, family, and friendship. They lived atop Pancake Mountain in a town they named Pantopia. Everything was well amongst them for a long time and they got along with everyone, in fact the only trace of war in their history had been the battle between ... See Morethe Chocolate chips and the Blueberries. The two had fought ruthlessly for years until the Pancakians stepped in and made peace between them. Pauly Flour, the Pancakians leader who was much younger at that time, was able to make them see that war will only lead to more pain and more awful stains. Some of the stains could still be seen from the top of the mountain, but they only served as a reminder of what lack of peace will bring.That's all anyone really remembers from that era, but anyone who was actually around can tell you that although there was no war in Pantopia, tensions still ran high because they were being pressured to participate in the war. They were being asked to pick sides. It was at that time, that they began to train .. the Pancake Ninjas.
A wise old pancake who had come to Pantopia from a foreign land called China to find peace felt a surge of worry rush through him and he knew he had to train these people to be ninjas in case they ever did need to go to war. He loved this town and it's gloriousness with every particle of his pancake being and he would never let anything harm it if ... See Morehe could stop it. He began to study the towns people, wondering how he would selected the right people. A Pancake Ninja is very sacred and the right to be one even more so. He went to different schools, looked at sports players, looked at some of the strongest pancakes, but couldn't find what he was looking for. Late one day he went to the grocery store to buy some ice cream and that's when he saw her.
Patsy Carkio was a tall, lightly browned pancake with bright eyes and a huge dimpled smile. She had this light around her everywhere she went and her laughter was contagious. She was also 8 years old. The Old Pancake tapped patsy on the shoulder and she turned around looking up at him.

"HELLO!" Patsy she said waving at him excitedly.

"Hello there ... See Morelittle girl. Do you know what a ninja is?" He asked patiently.

"A ninja!? Isn't that kind of like an ice cream man!?" She asked loudly looking at the ice cream he was holding. He laughed a deep hearty laugh knowing this would be the girl who one day save Pantopia.

At first Patsy's mom thought it strange and inapropriate that the old pancake wanted to spend so much time with her, but as time passed and after many supervised visits her mom began to trust him. The old pancake would tell little Patsy stories of ninjas and their heritage. Of ninjas who could fly and jump as high as any ceiling. Patsy was ... See Morefascinated and wanted to know where they were and if she could be a ninja too. He explained that they only fought if and when it was absolutely neccessary to do so. And that being a ninja was just as much about being at peace with the world as it was about protecting everything you love. Patsy made a lot of promises about not telling anyone and being a good learner if he could teach her to be a ninja. That's when they started training.

The old pancake gave her books to read and they talked a lot about the things she read. She was frustrated about having to do more homework and wanted to know when they would begin to actually train. She was eager to learn to jump high and run as fast as the wind. He promised that with the time she would and explained that it was important she understand not just the cool stories but the history and where they originated from.

One day the old pancake arose from his afternoon nap to the sound of his lawn being mowed. When he walked to the window he did a double take as he saw a young man doing flips and turns on the mower as if gravity didn't pertain to him. He knew instantly that this would be the next ninja.

He walked down to the yard and jumped right in front of the mower startling the young pancake.

"AHH!" He screamed.

"What are you doing!? Are you trying to get yourself killed!? I could have mowed right over you!" He exclaimed exasperated. This caused the old pancake to burst out into laughter.

"You think this is funny!? Gah! What's wrong with you!? Why do I always get the looneys!" He asked throwing his arms in the air.

"I am not a loony. I am Piester Miyago. And you are going to be a ninja." He said decidedly. ... See More

"Dude, I'm Danny Lacake." He said worriedly pointing at his name tag.

"Tell me Danny Lacake, where did you learn to jump and flip like that.

Danny explained about being in love with gymnastics and practicing in private because his friends would laugh at him. Danny found great comfort in Mr.Miyago and although the crazy ninja stories were sometimes boring to listen to he came over everyday after school to talk with him.

Mr.Miyago eventually spoke to Danny again about being a ninja and by this time the trust between them had grown and Danny wanted to know why he always put up this big joke about ninjas. Piester jumped out of his chair, clung on the ceiling and within another moment was at the other end of the room. He showed Danny his ninja swords while Danny clung on to his chair in surprise. He finally believed him and agreed to start training immediately.

Danny showed up at Mr.Miyago's house the next day and went around back to wait knowing he had come early. A couple minutes later Patsy skipped across the lawn and sat next to Danny crossing her legs and closing her eyes peacefully, her usual smile painted across her face. Danny blinked a few times and looked down at her.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" He asked half amused and half annoyed that this little runt might postpone his training.

"Same thing you are." She responded simply.

"Yea, right. Listen little girl, you need to leave. Me and Mr.Myago have very important grown up stuff to talk about and he's going to tell you to go home anyway so just leave okay?" He tried to reason and she giggled.

"Mr.Miyago told me all about you Danny Lacake. He's going to train you to be a ninja too, he said you'd probably be more stubborn than me." she said.... See More

"What!? But you're a little kid!" Danny exclaimed.

"And she's going to make a fantastic ninja." Piester said appearing from nowhere.

"Mr.Miyago!" Patsy squeeled getting up to hug him.

"Patsy give Danny your books, you're finished reading for now. Go start meditating and I'll be there shortly." Patsy nodded shorty before placing a stack of books in Danny's lap and merrily skipping around the corner of the house. Danny's face was stunned half in confusion, half in a great dislike of the fact that a little girl was going to be a ninja. He thought being a ninja was special, he thought it meant something.

Peace, Love & Pancakes
