Celebration on Rantings of a Third Kind
“Blogs are whatever we make them. Defining ‘Blog’ is a fool’s errand” Michael Conniff
Magic in Numbers, Part Two
Something major established
Post number 666 is now published
A record was broken for October
Therefore no time for feeling somber
Halloween surely left me astonished
And so for today, my tasks are finished

The numbers are magical
Like all hallows eve
It has been gradual
But one has to believe
To achieve one’s goals
You need lot of effort
Maybe run a few polls
But in the end the reward
Is greater than expected
And after all, you are connected
An homage to Poetry
“Breathe-in experience, breathe-out poetry” Muriel Rukeyser
Stuck Between a Poem and a Hard Place
I am a poet
But did not know it
Now I am writing
Lyrics without biting
The bullets
My mind to the fullest
Hammering the keyboard
Not a big chore
No, not anymore
Ever since I started
I cannot be parted
From the blank page
That clean slate
Words pouring
My heart roaring
I feel elevated
Totally animated
Full of excitement
I am completely and utterly
Lost in Poetry

The Liebster Award #5
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?

Some Social Media Bullshit
You don’t have to like it, but have to be in there: The social media of the world wide web. After all, who wants to be a complete social outcast!
Here are a few examples of what can be used for keeping in touch with family, friends and even your favourite movie stars!
* Assbook: Like opinions, everyone has more than one
* Angstagram: I post photos of myself and my eating habits, therefore I am
* Bitter: You would be too if no one is following you, right?
* Benchpress: For every self aware blabber, but more artistic ;P
* Tiedup: A must for professionals, endorse endorse endorse until you drop!
* You-boob: You did something stupid, maybe flashed a body part usually hidden, it got on video and uploaded on the internet and now you…

Blogging 201, Day Ten: Give ‘Em What They Want, II
Today’s assignment: create a poll and/or a survey to collect feedback from your readers on your site and its content.
Why do this?
– Because data deepens your understanding of what readers love (or don’t love).–
– Because data can illuminate traffic drops and boosts you might see in your blog’s stats.
First off, thank you a great many for this excellent and interesting Blogging201 event. The assignments have been of interest and even needful for myself and I really have learnt a lot and gained new blogging buddies during the process too!
That being said, regarding today’s assignment:
I have had the illusion, in which blogging can be everything and nothing. You can be either a professional blogger or a writer posting your own thoughts, images, what have yous.
As for myself, I am mainly writing for myself. As for what ever else I do, photography, videography, songs, poetry, etc, I am truly happy if anyone else enjoys what I have to offer, but, I absolutely will not change my direction, my style or the things I do if there are those who do not like them. I will always try on new things, but that usually comes from within, not by suggestion. Well, that is not entirely true, someone may suggest something and I will pick up on that, but still do it my own way. I love prompts, but I usually do not follow the guidelines exactly, rather add my own twist to them.
Of course I am interested in statistics and how many likes I get, who wouldn’t be! But then again, you cannot always please everyone every time.
To summarize my ranting, polls and surveys are not for me, not for my current blog at least.
