Almost at the halfway point

We have just hit 11 hours. And I have to be honest. I’m really amazed that I’ve made it this far.

I don’t usually make comment pleas; but I am today. Interacting with readers and following other blogathon… um .. ‘ers have helped give me material to write about.

We’re up to 5 sponsors totaling $229 if I make it the full 24 hrs. Sponsorship is open throughout and all the money goes to Planned Parenthood

And yes.. I realize I sound like that annoying bastard who keeps interrupting that really good episode of Doctor Who on the PBS affiliate.

I’m online for most of this on AIM (lordandrei) and am happy to chat and take topic ideas. Looking for my next ‘deep’ topic.

See you all at 5:30

You can still sponsor me throughout the blogathon at:

You can sponsor by the hour or a simple monetary donation.
Thanks to my sponsors so far. We’ve raised $229 for Planned Parenthood

shadesong‘s blogathon entry. She is raising money for the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center

Administrivia time: filter time for a big audience

i won’t make this one of the official Blogathon posts because it’d be cheating in my opinion. Especially since this way leads to filtered posts that are not world viewable and thus not really blogathon valid.

But.. I have added a whole slew of new journals… So before I make ‘other’ posts… I wanted to add this note again…

Usually, when I make this post, it means I’m intending to (though as is my nature, likely not to follow up with a) post to one of these filtered groups I have.

Unfortunately if you want to be on these filters you have to do 5 things.

1) Have a livejournal account.

2) Go to my Administrivia posting which describes my filters (at least the ones I want people to know about)

3) Check off the ones you would like to be on. (Or off if you’re a bored old timer.)

4) Make a comment to that post that you’ve made selections. (You don’t need to say in the comments which ones you’ve chosen. Actually for privacy, you probably shouldn’t. I can read it in the poll) But commenting tells me to look at the poll for your current list.

5) Important: Don’t be disappointed if you don’t see anything. Some of the filters are used rarely. Some you won’t be put on despite asking. (OTO for example requires me to know that you’re an initiate.)

Sounds like a lot.. But it keeps me just that inch further away from insanity.

Thanks! **Waves**

How about some depth…

In some ways I find that I’m fighting off a cynical attitude as I get older. But I think in consideration… it’s not really cynicism. I get grumbly based on behaviour and performance that goes against the best course. But I still persevere.

I think inside.. despite my bluster and tendency to rant… I think things will work out in the wash. I think there’s still room for faith. Everyday is a day full of unexpected surprises. So despite all the planning and patterns you may see… there’s still the chance that someone or something may surprise you.

Step back.. consider the magick and majesty that is life’s potential.

Even when you think the guy in charge really just needs to be taken over someone’s knee and given a good paddlin’ of habeas corpus.

And now I’m hitting that period of tired… Might just have been running the errands.

Next up.. more God postings and if you have any requests for topics, questions, or stuff you’d like me to chat about… leave a comment. Because the comments coming in are definitely what keep me going 🙂

I also want to make a special shout out to ka3ytl. I have such adoration for her. There are too many reasons to list.. but the one that makes me want to single her out now is the fact that she’s been transcribing my phone posts. Please note, that’s “posts”… plural. She is all full of the awesome.

Recovering from the outing and the explosion of Cell phone equiptment. Thus causing some frantic posts.

After this one there will be depth and substance… Well.. at least my definition of depth and substance
