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.

In response to "Book Recommendations"

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!

Here It Is Christmastime & I Don't Know What Christmas Is

| Day 6 |

"Here It Is Christmastime"
by Kevin Bacon and The Old 97's

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special was released the day after Thanksgiving, and this is the song at the end of the movie. At first I wasn't super into the song while we were making the movie, but the more I listen to it, the more it grows on me. Kevin Bacon has a surprisingly good voice that goes with the country twang of the song. It's also the perfect song to end the Holiday Special on; that last scene is really touching and a lot of fun.

"I Don't Know What Christmas Is (But Christmastime Is Here)"
by The Old 97's

This other song from The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is also a lot of fun, and I'm including it as a bonus. The idea behind the song is that it's an alien band writing a song about what they thing Earthling Christmas is all about from their outside perspective based on stories they've heard. It's super wacky, but kinda catchy and fun at the same time.

Underneath the Tree

| Day 5 |

"Underneath the Tree"
by Kelly Clarkson

Like "Santa Tell Me"

, this 2013 hit from Kelly Clarkson is often considered one of the modern successors to Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas (Is You)" in terms of contemporary holiday standards. The song has repeatedly made the list of "best Christmas songs" by a variety of outlets including Bustle, Cosmopolitan, Metro, O, The Oprah Magazine, Redbook, Men's Health, Good Housekeeping, Country Living, and Time Out. A 2019, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution listed it as the only new song from the past 20 years in their list of Top 50 Christmas songs.

This is one of my favorite songs to play when everyone's gathered together. Our family often makes tamales to honor my wife's family's tradition, and it's the perfect song to play in the background while everyone is working to assemble them. It's uptempo enough to keep everyone plugging along and feeling the Christmas spirit, even as we're assembling our hundredth tamale.
