Blogocentric Formulations

by Jeff

Rated: 18+ · Book · Biographical · #1399999

My primary Writing.com blog.

Logocentric (adj). Regarding words and language as a fundamental expression of an external reality (especially applied as a negative term to traditional Western thought by postmodernist critics).

Sometimes I just write whatever I feel like. Other times I respond to prompts, many taken from the following places:

"The Soundtrackers Group"

"Invalid Item"

"Blogging Circle of Friends "

"Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"

"JAFBG"

"Take up Your Cross"

Thanks for stopping by!

In response to "Book Recommendations"

I'm currently reading a book called Chosen by Benedict Jacka. I really wanted to read the first in the series but it wasn't available.

I believe Taken is the first book.

I have a second hardbound book Science Fiction/ Fantasy book called Revisionary Book 4 By Jim C .Hines. They also didnt have the first three in the series. I have a feel
ingg I might not understand it without first reading 1-3.
I think this one might be harder to read. I'll try though. Maybe I'll check at the used book store. They might have some. There's only 4 books in the series.

I need to write your list down. So many sound interesting. I like the alternate reality and parallel universes.

I like all of the books you listed.

I plan on viewing your other posts about movies etc.

These books sound interesting.

I have read #1 The I invisible Life if Addie LaRue. I enjoyed it. I won't spoil it for you. The demon is pretty tricky, and yet likeable in some ways.

Have you read any of The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher? The main character is a detective, wizard, and one ifvthe good guys.

Theres humor in his work Jim Butchers work. I love it..

I read that whole series. I think there were 17 books.

They did a few episodes on TV, but ruined it because the scenes were out if order and so some things didnt make sense. Then they stopped auring it.

Gran Tunsmo was good, I saw only because I played the games and wanted to see what they could do.

In response to "Take a Hike"

I enjoy hiking, but I would need to get in better shape to do any rough terrain hiking. Now, it's cold outside, there's snow, and it's just not a good time to go out and start hiking, so, as I mentioned before, I'll stick to hiking inside. I'm going to hike to the kitchen and get some Doritos.

In response to "Habits not Resolutions"

There was a sign in a gym I used to go to, "Willpower gets you started, habit keeps you going."

I used to go, but it was like this, "I'd have to drive thirty minutes to get to the gym, I guess I'll just exercise at home by walking to the cupboard and opening a bag of Doritos."

299... awesome. You're a closet anarchist!

I do exercise daily and keep track of it here; but I don't keep track of daily words written. Some days I go way over 300 just by commenting!

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

"Resurrection Jukebox" | Day 2 | Prompt ▼

Which artist would you love to see come back to life/reunite for one last concert/live event?

"American Girl"
by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

While this song isn't my favorite by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, I'm including it because it's the very last song he played at his very last concert. This is from the Hollywood Bowl on September 25, 2017, a stop on their 40th Anniversary tour of the United States. I actually considered trying to get tickets to this concert because I'd always wanted to see Tom Petty live, and the Hollywood Bowl is by far my favorite concert venue. I ended up not going, and to my and everyone else's surprise, this wound up being Tom Petty's last live performance because he died of accidental overdose just about a week later, on October 2, 2017.

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers were never my favorite band, but they were a band that was consistently very good. Especially later in their career, they had so many hits to draw from, every concert, every greatest hits album, etc. was just packed with great songs. Tom Petty is one of those artists that I can call up on Spotify and just randomize a playlist of all his tracks and listen to it for hours before I get into the lesser known stuff. And so many of his songs are just laid back, toe-tapping songs that I bet his concerts were really fun to go to. Not all spectacle and high energy and cranked up volume, but something you could take a picnic basket and some drinks to and enjoy listening to in the open fall air of an afternoon at the Hollywood Bowl.

I'd love for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to come back for one last performance or, maybe, for me to be able to go back in time to enjoy this last performance when it happened in 2017.
