Blogocentric Formulations

My primary Writing.com blog.

Welcome to my regular 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).

Blogocentric (adj). A portmanteau of "blog" and "logocentric" devised by a word nerd with way too much time on his hands.

Sometimes I just write whatever I feel like. Other times I respond to prompts, mostly scavenged from the following:

I like the song, but I probably wouldn't have listened to it otherwise.

I'm not able to play the video. Could you tell me the band and the song so I can find it on my own. thanks. Don't know why it does this. Sometimes the link works and sometimes it tells you to Watch Video On YouTube as an error. Odd.

In response to "Forever Your Girl"

The intro deal was something like 6 cassettes (and later, CDs) for a penny each. That was how they got you, because to get the deal you had to enroll in their subscription plan where the regular price of the albums was seriously jacked up (to like $20-$25) and if you didn't make a selection every month, they'd bill you and send you a featured one every month. Most people signed up for the freebies, then ended up canceling just as soon as they could get out of their one or two year long contracts. But hey, when you're a teenager and building your music collection? The first batch of albums is practically free.

And I remember those days of calling into a radio station, requesting a song, then trying to record it off the radio when they played it. Yeah, you'd always miss part of the song, or the recording quality would be terrible because most people just put a tape recorder in front of the speaker to record it and you'd get ambient noise or interruptions all the time. I don't want to admit how much time and money my teenage self invested in a stereo system designed to optimize recording songs off the radio.

You could buy an album for one cent? Dang, I got ripped off growing up in Germany.
I had to buy empty cassette tapes and record off my radio, always missing out on the last ten seconds of each song because the radio host was talking.

In response to "Bible Translations & The Winter Olympics"

I have always enjoyed the longer distance running and skiing. The Marathon in Summer Olympics and the 50km Mass Start in the Winter. My wife can't understand how I can watch the same race for several hours. But they are fascinating to me. I like the Downhill Slalom, Bobsled and Luge sports. Attending a Winter Olympics remains on my bucket list.

C'mon Feb 7th.

In response to "Bible Translations & The Winter Olympics"

My favorite sporting events in the Winter Olympics are the Luge, Bobsled, Figure Skating and curling. Initially, I thought I would be bored with curling but I'm not. It's fascinating how they determine each glide's angle and potential score.

When my children were younger we built them a luge course, they loved it. We were lucky that winter to have lots of snow to build up the walls and with some help with pallets that we covered with snow, it kept them and the neighborhood kids busy until it warmed up and melted. I was a lot more at ease with the luge course than I was when they decided to try arial jumps off our house roof. Never a dull moment when you live in Maine.

In response to "Bible Translations & The Winter Olympics"

I am reading ESV through the Bible this time. Like you, I've explored a bunch of translations. My church uses NIV but my women's Bible study group (part of the same church) varies based on what Bible study we're doing.

Hope you enjoy the Olympics! I agree that the every four year thing makes them feel more special.
