A little bit of everything, colored my own way. |
THE PROMPT: "Get out your old notebooks (or those stone tablets you used to write on when you were neighbors with Barney Rubble and Fred Flintstone) and read them. After that, pick one of the characters, and write a brief Profile of them. List their Name, Occupation, Gender, Sexual Orientation (optional) and anything else you can think of. After that, write a short story about them, 2000 words, or less, (or more), though you don’t need to put down the word Count." Good evening friends...sorry for the late entry. Life happens while you're figuring out creative ways to explain why this prompt does me no good. I never wrote stories. Well, at least any I cared to complete or save. I wrote poems. Why? Because that stuff felt more natural to me. My works seldom had characters other than myself...and most of them now don't merit the promotion anyway. But, in the spirit of competition and being a good sport, here's your entry. Name: Me, that's who. Occupation: Blastmaster at the "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" Gender: Complaining Male Sexual Orientation: Due North Anything Else: If you have to ask, you'll never know. Here's a little story I'd like to share about a guy named me, known everywhere. I do what I like, and I say what I say, and if you don't like it then that's ok. Been here 10 years, which is quite awhile, and I prefer to make the folks smile. See this little blog? It's the place where I post my words in front of your face. Some people challenge, and some have merit. Others like to front and it's very apparent. If you read this and cop a stance like you think that it's your chance to say a lot of things that don't make sense, don't be surprised how your story ends. It's not about the game but how you finish. Don't let your legacy be diminished. It's not a warning; it's the truth. Ask me all about it cuz I've seen the proof. It's like this y'all, and like that y'all. If you smoke crack on the internet, it's wack y'all. And thus concludes the story of my character. You can't read it in a book or see it on the tv. You can't download it either. You can only get it at my location. Get yo'self some!! MUSICAL BREAK!! Yeah, that was the best thing I've ever written . Not quite. Anyway...I haven't heard this golden nugget in awhile and for some reason it popped into my head earlier today. It's got something in it...one of those tones. The kind that stick in your head. Might be the spare keyboard tinkles I think...at least it is for me. And I'll probably be the only one who understands it, but that's ok, because sometimes that's all that matters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fZh0fWhfBY VITAL STATS: Why can't all of the systems at work still be down on days that I don't wanna come in? From the "I Got The Mic And You Got The Moshpit" diaries, I might just create a document from the last few days' worth of posts on the "30-day Blog Challenge" forum regarding the the announcement of winners for January, just so I can print it, frame it, and hang it on my fridge and giggle. Maybe I'll just post a written transcript, so you all can read it without the annoying staggering and clicking onto the next post. The context that way might be a lot funnier. Sabres game tomorrow at 12:30pm. I forgot what it was like to watch meaningless sports events while the sun is still out. And I can't take it anymore tonight, so I'm getting outta here. Might read a little...we'll see. Nowadays, I don't even know much about anything anymore around here. And a big part of me is ok with that. Just be ok with yourselves, and the world will keep spinnin'. Peace, and GOODNIGHT NOW!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PBy3Lwi4Lo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1sg16Dy1BY |
