Deep In The Forrest

As everyone probably knows but hasn't given much thought to, I have been participating all month long in the NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month November 2007 ) event, and today is the last day of November. It was trying at times, but I actually did it!! I posted, sometimes even more than one post PER DAY for the whole month! NaBloPoMo's site sported some cool "I Did It" banners, and I selected this cool little "Tattoo" version (since I love tattoos so much). Give me props people!! I did it! Yay! Thanks to everyone over at NaBloPoMo for being so cool, and all the other participants who made it, and even those who simply gave it their all, it's been tons of fun!!! As the month comes to a close, it's time to get all up into Christmas full-swing, right? Some of us have already begun discussing holiday stuff, such as the Fruitcake that I complained about yesterday and probably most of you are talking about drinking in the New Year already! Well, some...

Remember, last month I started a new segment, the Monthly Blog Crush. Last month's saucy squeeze was none other than everyone's favorite trekmeister, Captain Corky . Now, don't go getting the wrong idea. The monthly blog crush is not some 'psycho-stalking-me' after someone for their sex appeal (although a lot of times they do have appeal, and can't help themselves, like Corky and also like this month's target). So, I'm not being some weirdo and trying to "hit on" anyone. And I'm also not being an attention whore. I'm simply expressing my admiration for the blogger for their wit, talent and charisma and letting them know I like them as well as appreciate their patronage to my blog too. It may be a guy or a girl, but happens to be a guy this month too. So, as promised I am revealing my November blog crush. It's the most cynical, cool, saucy, suave bastard that we all know and love... that's right, it's Jay of Cynical Bastard...

I know I said I wouldn't feel like posting for a couple of days because of my sinuses, but I was buzzing around others' blogs and I happened by Zamphir Panflutemaster's blog and saw that she happened upon a strange phenomenon. Turns out November is "National Blog Posting Month", and there's a movement of people who are pledging to post every single day in the month of November. Now, I know that I post most days, but then there are days that I don't, and as I have seen my world of bloggers turn upside down and fade in and out, I know it is hard for some of you... many of the faces I have seen since I have been blogging are taking "sabbaticals" and "hiatuses". It's understandable. This world around us is constantly pounding us down, or wearing us out. I feel like doing it sometimes too. But I love to write, I love to talk back and forth with my "Blog Friends", and it's great just to write what you want when you want and...
