Thank you for the nomination Melissa! It is always an honour to get recognition by one’s peers. Check out Melissa’s excellent blog missams35:

The Rules

1. Link back to the blogger who nominated you – I have tried to, but she has deleted her blog
2. Answer the 11 questions given to you by the blogger who nominated you
3. Nominate 11 other bloggers with less than 200 followers
4. Go to the blogs you nominated and notify them of your nomination
5. Give your nominees 11 questions to answer.

My Questions to answer:

* What is one thing you like about blogging? What is one thing that you do not like about blogging? Why?

I don’t like it, I love it!
I don’t like requests, meaning readers asking me to write about certain topics or in a certain way

* With all the different elements into today’s blogging, do you prefer writing or making a video to get your ideas across? Have you tried a different format?

I will try all of them. I love to write stories, poetry, songs, rap, and scripts, meaning I am planning to do a few videos as well. I usually combine the written word with an image.

* When did you started blogging and why

February this year. It seemed to be a good forum to start publishing my writing again. And adding photos to the mix was quite the hit!

* Do you have a favorite blog that you have posted? Why is it your favorite?

I only have the one blog, but I am posting quite frequently to it, so no favourites so far.

* Do you have a particular time of day that you set aside for blogging, or do you blog whenever you have free time?

After work until the early hours of the morning. This is my unpaid night shift ;P (and I hardly sleep anymore!)

* What is the hardest thing about blogging?

Time, or lack there of.

* What are you currently reading?

I can’t say it here 😉

* What is your favorite book? Why?

Don’t have one, love so many.

* What is your favorite food? Favorite drink?

Greek salad. Water.

* Do you own any pets? If so, what are they? If not, why?

I did before and they died of old age. Naturally, they were cats 😉

* If you can change one thing (whether in the world or your life), what would you change?

Open up peoples minds.

And now dear Nominees, it is your turn to answer these questions as well:

* What is one thing you like about blogging? What is one thing that you do not like about blogging? Why?
* With all the different elements into today’s blogging, do you prefer writing or making a video to get your ideas across? Have you tried a different format?
* When did you started blogging and why?
* Do you have a favorite blog that you have posted? Why is it your favorite?

Replaced by Metal

Today I saw it
The huge chunk of metal
Replacing my joint
I almost shifted gear
Just out of fear
Making my stomach churn
Pushing the pedal to the metal
And making u-turn
While running away
But wait, please stay
Easy as pie it would be
So at least they told me
While they operate
You get to lie in bed
Take a short nap
No mishap
While the pros
Do their chores
Unconscious, unaware
So, there really is no scare!

Fixing It

Gun Roswell's avatarRantings Of A Third Kind

“When I told my doctor I couldn’t afford an operation, he offered to touch-up my X-rays” Henny Youngman

Fixing It

The day has arrived
In three months’ time
Finally going under the knife
Oh what a life
Facing the surgeon
Guess it was urgent
After all
This time spent
In the end
Hasn’t been a ball
Not a fan of hospitals, needles or blood
It’s such a crud
But not being in control
Is the worst of all
Lying unconscious
Body and mind
Out of commission
Please be kind
Without condition
Wish me luck
Let’s hope the doctors
Won’t fuck it up!

Invincible

Gun Roswell's avatarRantings Of A Third Kind

“A lot of us think we’re invincible… but we have to start putting ourselves on the to-do list” Giuliana Rancic

Invincible

The name suggested
A battle maiden invested
Always the strong one
Getting everything done
Relying on strength
Taking great lengths
Never cheating
Always completing

Out of the blue
Without a clue
When least expected
The unthinkable was inflicted
The temple of strength failed
And came tumbling down
Feeling jailed
Oh treacherous one

Completely helpless
Not the fearless
Never been so afraid
Beginning to fade
Sometimes going insane
From all that pain

Going through stages
In quite the rages
Denial, anger, bargain, depression
With each session
Looking for that quick fix
Throwing in the mix
Ideas of the radical
Forgoing the medical
With a scoff
Thinking on just walking it off

Final stage at hand
Taking the stand
Waving the white flag
No more snags
Feeling revived
Acceptance had arrived

Out of Order

“I’ll definitely be out of order for a few days!” Gun Roswell

Out of Order

Out of order
Flat on my face
Semiconscious
Feeling sorer
And out of place

For the next few days
Relying on others’ aid
Hoping not to faint
Ain’t that quaint
But I am hardly a saint

Almost felt jinxed
But now my six
Is getting fixed
Add into the mix
Out of order

For a few days at least

SL-WEEK 7 : Night: Photography and Poetry

Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY 

“I’m a bit of a night owl because that’s when I feel the most creative and alive” Christina Aguilera

SL-WEEK 7 : Night

“For this week I chose a theme that I almost never practice : night photography … “

In the dark of the night
Guided by only a few lights
Be that snow or moonlight
No reason for a fright
It’s just the opposite of daylight
