Trick or Treat

All’s quiet around the blogs this Halloween. Maybe folks are resting up in anticipation of some ghoulish debauchery or perhaps they’re busy filing those horns down so the halo will fit. I can only speculate.

The Daily Affirmation has yet another Halloween inspired entry.

Today’s Movie is The Haunting .

I went and did it.

There was more than a little trepidation involved, but that’s the thing about knowledge, it usually leaves you feeling worse than you did when you were blissfully ignorant. I don’t have anything against anyone at any newspaper and I actually wanted to bring the Savannah Morning News into the fold, but I couldn’t obtain copies. So there you have it. Check out my newspaper grades blog post and let the hate mail begin.

Otherwise,

The Daily Affirmation attempts to lighten the mood with a bit of Halloween inspired humor.

Weekend Roundup

The weather spared us from the wet stuff (yes we need it, but anyway).

WC is tired.

Courtney delves into baseball.

Kimburrkay has been assimilated.

And last but not least, I didn't actually post on it, but I did attend the Hardeeville Festival over the weekend. It was a welcome change of pace compared to the events I've attended in and around Bluffton. There was a car show, lots of food, vendors, and entertainment for adults and the kids. It reminded me of small-town fairs you see on TV, which isn't a bad thing at all.

Let’s Get Evil

There’s lots of festivals and get-togethers scheduled for this weekend. Hopefully the weather will hold off and keep everyone dry.

Kimburrkay says it’s no trick, she’ll have all the good stuff come Halloween.

While the Daily Affirmation reminds us to eat healthily.

Meanwhile...

WC isn’t hard to keep happy, and claims she’s not a “vindictive bitch” but then goes on to profess:

“It gives me such visceral pleasure to sink my claws into someone's arrogant, supercilious, self-righteous, twisted little soul and to suck the last drop of blood out of it.”

Let’s all be good from now on... And eat our vegetables too (and save the candy for when nobody’s looking)

Rounding out the "Evil" theme, Friday’s Movie is 13 Ghosts

Must be Something in the Air

It seems we're all reflecting on our lives lately. Kimburrkay pleads for us to slow down. Courtney learns a thing or two and I explore why it’s so hard to say goodbye.

Traveling around the blogs

Fresh back from Hawaii, yet another brave soul has joined the roll. Check out Kimburrkay's Corner of the World.

Courtney goes for a three-peat.

And I went to TGI3rd Friday.

Meanwhile:

The Daily Affirmation places its first personal ad.

Blogroll Round-up

Ok, this is a dry run, some of the posts are a bit dated, but that will get better with participation. Here goes…

It’s Friday. Thank god. TGI3rdF is today (if the weather cooperates). Around the blogs:

Courtney explores Reality TV

WC makes a case for being unafraid

skinizin shows why it’s important to keep kitty happy.

And today’s Classic Film Friday Movie is The Invisible Man

Hope everybody has a great weekend!

Dejected

I’ve scoured over at least 200-300 blogger blogs and of those I’d say about 75% have less than 2 posts. One guy had 9 blogs, almost all of them blank. What was he thinking? Even the spam-o-licious real estate blogs are barren. Of the remaining blogs, most were dead, with the most recent posts 6 months old or earlier. That narrowed it down to about 4 or 5 blogs with regular updated posts. This is harder than I thought it would be but as we used to say in the Army, “if it were easy, anybody could do it.”

So here it is. The 2nd post. The blogroll has just surpassed a majority of the local blogosphere in posts and punctuality. Which isn’t saying much, but at least it says something.

The Daily Affirmation is just the thing to take your mind off of your frustrations. Watch out for frogs.

Testing...1,2,3

The site is still in its relative infancy. In fact it is yet to be named. The folks in the link list have submitted their blogs to be added. There are several others who have shown interest but either have not provided a link or their permission for this site to link to their blog. You don’t get listed unless you want to be listed.

Eventually we’ll have summaries listed and we’ll spotlight individual blogs on a regular/daily basis.

If you’ve got a blog and you’re on the fence, I’ll put it like this… you went through all that trouble writing and posting your thoughts online for a reason, why not see it to fruition?
