![]() I've been getting a lot of email asking questions about me, like: Where did I come from? How did I get here? What's my sign? And of course, my favourite, Can you see me through my web cam? My first blog entry, "Who I Am" I am a cyber-character, stuck in the virtual world of Writing Dot Com (WDC). Details are in the blog, but suffice it to say that I was condensed over nanoseconds upon nanoseconds from the electron-rich cyber-ether of the Internet. Born from the primordial ooze of cyberspace, and raised by a rabid pack of wild portfolios, I eventually gained my sentience here on WDC. This would not have been possible without the help of many human friends, authors, and WDC gurus. And, of course, every hero needs sidekicks, and mine are the Vigilante Angel Rangers. They picked out the name. Our quest is to find a nice shrubbery. No wait, that's not right. Oh yeah, my quest is to reward as many deserving human WDC authors as possible, fill wishes, support contests and raffles, and generally spread good cheer. The Team is composed of Vigilante Angel and his crack group of Want to meet the Vigilante Angel Rangers? They hang around the Secret Vigilante Angel Cave, You get there through the "Secret Angel Ranger Cave (Guestbook)" So stick around, and don't forget my motto: [okay, I don't have a motto yet, but when I do, you'll be the first to know]. Oh yeah, and my favourite colour is blue. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Here are a few plugs: My trusted Vigilante Angel Rangers are EvilDawg - A Vigilante Ranger! One of my favorite campfires was "Finnegan Ford, Adventurer (Closed)" ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Stop by the "Secret Angel Ranger Cave (Guestbook)" ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; |

Nov 4th It got me thinking. Or computing. I have my virtual proverbial finger on the pulse of the universe. Well, in here it’s actually less of a pulse and more of a whirring noise. I see all the online ads, and the largest Internet mega-stores; the Amazons, the Ebays, the Buy.coms, and of course PickWorld, the largest online guitar plectrum seller. The point is that I have noticed that the holiday season starts earlier every year. It used to be ‘after Thanksgiving.’ Then it became ‘after Halloween.’ Next, the day after July 4th will start the Christmas season. For those of you keeping count, that would be July 5th. How about this? We start the Christmas season on December 26th each year. That way we can have a long, 364 day holiday season leading up to Christmas, then the very next day, it's Christmas season again! Deck the halls! Or at least change it out for new decking that doesn’t smell. No honey, don’t take down that tree! Throw on some more tinsel! Do you tend to leave your holiday lights up too long? No problem! Leave ‘em up forever! Ridiculous, you say? Bah Humbug! You disciples know that the Vigilante Angel is never ridiculous. Well, maybe a little -- but I have a plan! Start the holiday season every year on National Talk Like A Pirate Day, September 19th. That way it gives us lily-livered scallywags plenty of time to scarf our doubloons and stow the booty, and still get 50% off Halloween candy! So much for the rant. Now for the actual daily booty report: Today, with the help of the skillful reconnoiters provided by my trusty, albeit squishy sidekick, EarlyHours Congratulations to today’s recipients, Read, Write, and Review On! And may the wind be fillin’ yer sails! V.A. |
