So I’m participating in NaBloPoMo and one of the tools BlogHer has available to help writers get through the month successfully are some prompts to help bloggers have something to… er… blog about. This is a great idea, only there’s a small problem with it. There are not prompts for every day of the month….
This is not my first time participating in National Blog Post Month, or NaBloPoMo. Initially started in 2006 it has been spearheaded by BlogHer since 2011 for every month but November is still the “main” focus for NaBloPoMo for most of us. Yes, even dad bloggers participate. At least this one has (and does). Why…
Sometimes it can be difficult to write. There are topics which can be too difficult because of their personal nature or maybe there’s a certain “angle” the writer is trying to approach. Other times the subject can simply be too “weighty” and the writer has difficulties conveying their emotions. Sadly, my difficulties are much more…
Last week I started to go a bit more in-depth about my relationship with the band Devo. One of the two tattoos I have is inspired by the band as is the name of this blog. Wednesday night the band was in town for their Hardcore Devo Tour. There were only 10 stops on this…
These are the types of posts I hate. Oh, it’s partly self-pity and complaining, partly a place-holder, partly just crap because I have nothing else to post. Well, it’s not that I don’t have anything else to post, actually, it’s that I can’t seen to get my ideas fully formed. I have a couple of…
Remember last week when I had a blog post about the Seahawks and Saints football game? I set up another challenge for this past weekend with regards to the Seahawks and 49ers game. Only this time the opposing team fans weren’t so eager to join in. There was some difficulty in finding a Saints fan…
I don’t really know Brian. He and I have little in common other than both being dads and having blogs. He seems to be a rather active guy, just look at his blog, dashingdad. He’s a runner and even has a whole section on his blog about fitness. Me? Yeah, that’s not me at all….
It’s the first day back to the routine. The kids are back in school and I have a few hours to myself. The morning went well and nobody was late. There is a lot to write about. I have several thoughts about music. There’s the interchange I had with my youngest which I found amusing….
“You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)” For me, this is one of those songs that typifies what a B-side is. It’s definitely not something you would necessarily find on an album (well, the White Album, yeah). This was the flip side to the “Let It Be” single, the penultimate 45 the band would…
“Please Mister Postman” This is a cover of The Marveletts 1961 hit – not The Supremes or The Shirelles as many think. It was released as the B-side to another cover, “Roll Over Beethoven” and while it charted in America, it didn’t hit very high and wasn’t even a single in Britain. According to BeatleSongs it…
