** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **  Winner of "Best Blog of 2011" for "The Quills"  . Previous winner of "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" Round 1. A big, heartfelt thank-you to all of my fans and supporters!  Welcome to the randomness, silliness, craziness, and all-around tomfoolery – what a great word that isn't used nearly enough – that is my blog. Don't get me wrong, it isn't always silly and crazy. Sometimes it's serious or sad but, more often than not, it's comical. Nonetheless, it is always entertaining. I try to see the fun in life. I'll add to it as much as I can so make sure you check back often.  Feel free to leave a comment or review to let me know you stopped by.  DISCLAIMER: If you are someone who gets offended easily, then you shouldn't go any further. I'm up-front, to-the-point, sarcastic and honest (sometimes brutally so). I tell it like it is, or the way I think it is. If you don't get offended very easily, then you've come to the right blog. All are welcome. The fun is free! My life is an open book blog. Hilarity and chaos ensue... ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
Day 18 Prompt for the "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" : Don't write! Read! Go back and look over all the prompts, all the instructions, the objectives, and the requests I have made of the players. Read the comments I have made on your blog entries and the comments I have made on the blog entries you haven't read.Joel’s e-mail went on to say, “Maybe I'm easily discouraged, or overly sensitive to negativity, but I've decided to hold off on the next stage of the game so people can reflect on the whole concept of what this month's challenge is all about, and what objectives I have set out for you all from the very beginning. When I was a young man I asked a friend of mine, who was a career journalist and a freelance writer: "What do I have to do to become a writer?" He told me, "You have to read."” He also sent a follow-up to clarify exactly what he was looking for with this prompt: “There's a MB available to anyone who can pull off a blog entry for today based on my rant of a prompt sent out yesterday. There will be NO elimination today.” I had to do a bit of research to make sure I had all of the prompts correct. Here they are again, paraphrased a bit. Day 1: Enthusiasm for participating & recruiting others Day 2: Groundhogs Day Day 3: Muse Day 4: Scientists discover a new material and/or whatever floats your boat. Day 5: Deep thoughts and fun facts Day 6: Solicit a prompt from a friend Day 7: Ever get drunk and do something stupid? Day 8: Blog about nothing Day 9: Games – video games, board games, etc. Day 10: Being driven around by the worst driver ever Day 11: Different types of prompts (favorite & least favorite) Day 12: White drowf Day 13: Funny Friday nursery rhymes Day 14: Young love Day 15: Why I should stay in this competition Day 16: Visiting a witch shop / ideas for a trendy or unique shop Day 17: I was born to ________ If I am understanding this prompt correctly, we need to find the correlation between these prompts and write about it. Here goes nothing. I am enthusiastically recruiting the help of, and consulting, my muse, thinking deep thoughts over some new material that scientists discovered, called a white drowf, while simultaneously soliciting friends for ideas to play games, blog about nothing, and recall whether or not I have ever gotten drunk and done something stupid. In addition, I’m contemplating the existence of young love and casting a spell on the judges of this competition in order to stay in it. Coincidentally, I am wondering what I was born to do. Oh, and I get to do it all over again, day after day, until I finally get it right. If Bill Murray and/or a groundhog makes an appearance, I may begin to question my own sanity. Does that about cover it, Brother Nature  ?   In Other News  Once again, I’d like to thank everyone for their support. Not just during the challenge, but also with my elimination. Some people were up in arms, and I truly appreciate it, but I really am OK with it. This round is different. It’s a fundraising elimination round. I got eliminated. End of story. And, hey, look at that, I’m still blogging.  So, really, thank you for all the kind, encouraging words. We’re all good. Joel is doing a great job running the show.  Sporting News   Baseball is BACK!!! The Phillies pitchers and catchers have their first work-out tomorrow. Position players report on Monday. WOOHOO!!!!  Music, Music, Music  I’m slowing it down for you today. I love this song. It’s absolutely beautiful and it holds a lot of meaning for me. Good night, all!  [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] |
