For Those Who Have Served And Died

ProBlogger Top 5 Writing Project – Final Day

I’m fairly new to the blogging world; I started seriously investing in it this year. It has become a new passion for me. One of my new favorite sites is called ProBlogger by a guy named Darren Rowse (an Aussie). Heran a competition/project this week called the Top 5 Group Writing Project. I decided to get involved since I’ve never done anything like this. I really had fun writing my Top 5 Tantalizing Blog Title Techniques. Anyway, I learned a lot, stretched myself in my writing, found some new blogs, made a few new friends online and gained a few new readers (I hope).

Well, for your viewing pleasure and perusal (the pingbacks don’t hurt either) here is the complete list of submissions. Go to the potty and get a drink first… it’s quite large.

Ok, I thought that was a silly idea too, but I’ll bite. Oh no, it was even better. It was about forcing the …

Is Sprinting The Answer?

In my previous runner’s log entry I talked about stopping short on my distance training. I was quite upset with this and went back to the drawing board a.k.a the internet. I found quite a few training programs for marathons and half marathons, which I am definitely NOT up to yet. The one thing I …

Stop Short

Any Seinfeld fans out there? Well, I loved the show… actually I still love the show. Do you remember the show (Season 6 Episode 21 – The Fusilli Jerry) where George’s parents separate and Kramer is driving Estelle home from having her eye surgery and performs the “stop short” maneuver after hitting a pothole? I …

Gone Fishin’

5:00 AM Saturday morning the alarm clock goes off. My hand starts instinctively slapping at buttons, “Make it stop! Make it stop!” Just as I start to drift back into the depths of some remote dreamworld I am once again disturbed, only this time my brain is wondering, “What is that noise!?… Oh yeah. Geez. …
