Deep In The Forrest

(photo on left taken Halloween 1996 I think--haha!) I hope that this post finds you nearing the end or having had an extreme, hardcore fantastic weekend. Once again, as for me it was NOT NEARLY LONG ENOUGH!!! ARRRGH! As promised, I have decided to try out the voice post for you today, and I have included below, my Podcast for Sunday, May 4, 2008. Just a note, however, the set-up I used to begin with doesn't sound so great, it has a lot of noise, you can hear the microphone noises... so I will fix all that hopefully next time. Maybe it will be at least bearable... But my apologies beforehand, as the whole recording probably sounds stupid. I included a reading of the below journal entry from December 3, 1986 (I did more skipping ahead). Here is the written journal entry (read if you like), or if you would rather, then skip to the podcast and go back and try the text if you are unable to understand something. Jackie's Private Journal - Entry #36 - December 3, 1986 You know, you...

As you can see, I had a hard time Saturday and was very late putting up a post. My apologies I had intended to do a vocal post with a podcast. I'll do it before Sunday is over with! I promise... It's those darn "Voices" in my head... they had so much else for me to to on Saturday... But my oh my you should hear what they are saying about you! lol j/k... Oh come on that was a little bit funny. Besides, 9/10 of the voices in my head have confirmed that I'm sane, so THERE!!! :O Ok, well this was a short nutty rant to make up for Saturday, it's a 'fill-in'. I'll be back later... For Sunday I am going to post more of my "Teenage Journal" so if you've been waiting for that, check back!! :) Love, AJ

May is blooming all around us. Memphis is abuzz with chaotic tourism, and confused residents as Memphis In May festivities prepare to crank up. I could well see it this morning as my usual route was silly with frantic, rage-filled, rude, insensitive drivers. It's definitely going to be a busy month. However, this is my first post using a Podcast. I am not experienced at this, but I am doing it to further juice up the ole blog… shake things up a bit. NaBloPoMo is featuring a theme of “Voices” this month for their May 2008 challenge ("31 Posts in 31 Days"), so here I go! Hope everyone enjoys the lovely Month of May… it’s spring, so enjoy yourself, find your inner child and go frolicking! I am soon going to do some podcasts of me reading from my teen journal (that’ll be a new slant on it). Yes, we’ve gone VOCAL ladies and gentlemen!!! But to kick off May, I am going to put up one of my band's songs, (by request), so you can hear my very own voice. Some of you have hear...

Dear Blog Readers, It is April 30th, that means I have SUCCESSFULLY completed the NaBloPoMo challenge for 30 posts in 30 days . The April theme was "Letters", as you may or may not recall. I did my best to make most of my posts about letters, or something related to that... using my own creative license. Thanks to everyone who read with me through April, and reads and comments too, I always welcome newcomers, and want my regular 'blog family' to know how much they are appreciated! So tomorrow begins May and I have decided to try to participate in the MAY edition... May's theme is going to be "Voices". This opens up quite interesting possibilities. I could include sound clips of things, or I could creatively interpret voices in my writings, OR--now get this, ORRR I could actually put in podcasts of my voice reading out my content. So what do you think?? Are you ready for May NaBloPoMo?? It will be "31 posts in 31 Days"... Can I get an A-men?? :...
