Blogging 101: Thick Skin & Lady GaGa

Or…How Lady GaGa taught me how to love my blog…
I recently had a friend ask me about starting a blog. She asked me…”What should I know?”  Well…a long, long time ago, I kind of made a list of what you should do when blogging…but that was before Lady Gaga. And what does Lady GaGa have [...]

I’m A 2 Star Blog With 5 Star Potential

Why only 5? Why not 12?
I started playing around with WordPress the other day (because I had nothing better to do and I was all caught up on reading my friends’ blogs and doing all the OTHER stuff that fills my days) and found that I could actually allow people to give me a Star [...]

Ramblings From A Round World

I don’t have a coherent thought in my head right now, so I figured I would just put together an “overall thoughts” blog (like so many of us do) to entertain those few of you who actually stop by here from time to time…
1. Seat Belt Car Alarms

Today I Read A Sad Post

For the most part, I don’t read a lot of blogs. I have my select group of sites that I visit all the time and that’s pretty much it. I don’t scan the world wide web for other blogs (unless I’ve got nothing else to do, which is not that often) and on that rare [...]

My Daddy Blog

Wow. So…the whole reason I started blogging in the first place was so my Mom & Dad & siblings could keep up with me & my family from afar. I mean, they all live 2.5 hours away and rarely do I get to see them in the winter months, so I figured this would be [...]

I’ve Been Down…But Not Out!

I’m not gonna lie…it’s been a mess here lately. I’ve had work issues and house issues and kid issues and “it’s summertime and I have to be outside” issues. But everyone has issues and so you don’t need to hear all about mine. Life can just get crappy sometimes but ya continue living and move on. [...]

Apparently “Butts” Are Out Now…

The definition of “breast” is: Either of two milk-secreting, glandular organs on the chest of a woman; the human mammary gland.
What is it with boobs? I mean really…all women have them. They can be big or small, perky or swingin’ low. There are all kinds and we men find them…fascinating!
But wait! It’s not just MEN [...]

You Might Not Know Me But You’re My Friend Anyways…

Do You Know Me?
Lately, I feel like I’ve been spending more time on Facebook & Twitter than I have concentrating on blogging, and I don’t know if that is necessarily a bad thing. I mean…with Facebook I get to see what all of my friends are doing and make quick status updates (usually something snarky [...]

Spring Cleaning

833 Posts. That’s how many I’ve had since I first started this whole blogging thing back in October of 2007. That is a lot of crap flowing out of my brain to my fingertips! And I’m thinking it might be time to do a little spring cleaning. Lots of things that I’ve written are simply [...]

A Post You Should Read

I have a few bloggy friends who are very good writers, and today, as I was trying to catch up with all of them after a long absence, I read THIS post by Mel over at Blah La Blah Log. It’s a very well written post and it made me think even more about how short life [...]

Hello? Blogger.com? WTF?

The competition…
Just so all of my blogger friends who use “Blogger.com” know…every time I try to leave a comment on your site, I get a message that asks me if I really want to leave the site. And then if I press yes OR no, I get an error message. What’s up with that?

Good Friends, Good Times

Me & Anne now…

and back in the day…
As I travel around, I am lucky that I get to see and hang with good friends from my past, present and future. I get to visit so many different places and cities where, inevitably, there is someone I know living where I am going.

My college friend, Tom, in [...]

5 Questions From The Villager

Barbara Walters he ain’t, but the Vinyl Villager came up with a little Q & A blog that I thought was creative, so I went ahead and volunteered to answer a few of HIS questions about me. As you know…I am a very secretive and non-”heart on my sleeve” type of guy (NOT), so this [...]
