I THOUGHT I COULD BLOG



I'm a big boy. My mother held me as a baby. So I won't complain, I won't cry. I've had over one hundred posts. My third place finish in the second "So You Think You Can Blog" Contest is respectable. My entry, "Jaws Of A Different Kind," lost out to a bunch of rabid Girl Scouts selling cookies and ... and ... a Luna Moth. Are these stories for real? I know mine are.

Here are my virtual awards, side by side, from each contest:



Once again, I finished in the top half. No second banana for me. I will say this, "I want a rematch." Go to Theory of Thought for details. I'm not holding back this time, but don't let me intimidate you. Give me your best shot.

You took a dive in the ratings. What happened? Weary is the head that wears the crown? This gives you a chance to think things through but don't overwrite. You just might be able to regain the crown with you next posting. With lots of support. MW

P.S. You understand I may not be able to be seen with you for awhile...

MW, you're right--I must be slow. Took me half a day to get Erik's Mick Jagger statement. And I'm quoting Pat Bena--who?

Well, congratulations. I think your blog is great, and I'm glad I found it.

Keep on blogging.

And, the bonus is, you don't have one of those stupid word verification thingies. I always seem to flub them, hah.

JR glad to see you are seeing the light. But I hope you understand
I can't be seen with low achievers. Try harder. In all honesty, I liked the Pat Benatar dialogue. Way beyond you though.
LOL MW.

Great Blog. Kudos to you for even entering the competition. I'm too much of a weenie. I'd cry if I lost.

Love your wedding photo. I have on too much makeup in all of mine.

Cheerio :)
