👼intuey - you can always go third party or write in a candidate that you do like. It’s an unfortunate byproduct of our two party system. But don’t let that take your voice away! |
. . . Jeremy - I've been known to do that before! It won't take my vote away. I vote for the candidate who addresses the issues most important to me. Even if it is the lesser of two evils ... |
Happy Birthday, brother Scorpio! |
. . . Jeremy - Oh, yeah! Gotta wait a few more weeks before I really start kickin' it. (Work's been "interesting", to say the least!) |

Thank you for the Trinkets! I liked the video, but I will not feature it in "Smile! (Groan?) You Know You Love These!" for a couple of reasons. First, I'm not a big fan of Rap. I've always loved their ability to almost instantly think of words to rhyme. (I realize that many Rap songs are probably pre-written/planned, but still, you have to appreciate the talent). From the few songs I've heard, so many Rap singers feel it's alright to demean the opposite sex, all the while sprinkling four letters words I stopped using long ago in them. It's just not my cup of tea, not something from my generation. Yes, I'm old. So old that I helped Moses build that Ark. Yeah, I know Noah is credited with building it, I'm just checking to see if you read this far. Secondly though, I try to stay away from songs that deal with death, or killing. Even an excellent parody like this one. I probably have posted 1 or 2 in the past, but I really try to not feature songs like that. So, do I like this video. Yeah, I'd think I'd be very close-minded if I didn't. But it's not something I'd post for those reasons. I know, count me as old, give me a good chair in front of a roaring fireplace and I'll be quiet. By the way, there's a song from my HS years that I will one day feature. I will post it more due to why it was written than anything else. I will also post a warning about the lyrics and video so people are aware of what they will be watching/listening to. If you're curious, look up Bloodrock on YouTube, you'll find it and maybe listen to it. Which song it is will be obvious when you search. |
Most of you know me from the myriad of contests and activities I run here onsite. But, did you know that I'm also a writer? I forget half the time, too! I could use some cheerleaders in my corner so I am very humbly asking you to consider sponsoring me for this year's event. You can do so here: "Write-A-Thon Sponsor Sign-Up Form" (username soul-writer) Anyone that is kind enough to sponsor me will be rewarded with their choice of any of my exclusive badges below (including some that have been heavily-restricted to event-only): |

NaNotatoGo! - Have I ever participated in NaNoWriMo? No. Have I planned anything in advance to help this year's NaNoWriMo? Also no. Did I sign up anyway? Oh, yeahhhhh! |
All you do is count the words you write in November. It could be anything. Novel is popular, but some do poetry and others do short stories too. I even done forum posts and school work once. |
. . . Jeremy - you are extremely brave! I signed up. My novel idea makes no sense but I'll commit anyways. Good luck . . . Jeremy! |
