NaBloPoMo A Letter of Appreciation to Coach Rodden...

Today I writing a letter to someone who's had a more direct influence in my life: Coach Dennis Roddenberry. He became my football coach in the spring of my freshman year in high school. He took a week off from his current job and came to Calvary to give us an intense Spring Practice that year. We went full pads and full contact the first day and the next day in class every single one of us had a sore neck :) He didn't know us and had to rely on names tapped to the back of our helmets, but he gave... read more

Yesterday's challenge is now closed. DAY 14: Write something on your body. It might be a word or a phrase, a quote or a song lyric. It might be a declaration of strength or independence, or something you like about yourself. Words that make you feel good. Write on the back of your hand or somewhere else, hidden under your clothes. Whatever works for you. Wear it all day. View Poll: Life Appreciation Challenge Day 14

Dear Livejournal, I know, I know. I am a horrible poster. I believe I've warned you about that a time or three. Anyway, in an effort to have a bit of accountability and perhaps win a prize or two, I have signed up for NaBloPoMo -- a bloggers answer to NaNoWriMo: National Novel Writing Month. Only, instead of writing a book in a month, I am going to do a blog post every day this month. I am a bit nervous, as I will be out of town for Thanksgiving and reliant on my host's internet access, but darn...

Elwood smiled as he sat in front of the class... which did not have desks. The classroom was set up with a circle of chairs, and a stereo system off to the side. "I figure we should conduct this class in a way where we all get to face one another. I'm Elwood Blues, and this is Music Appreciation, 101. First, I'd like everyone to introduce themselves, so I can put faces ta names." After everyone introduces themselves, Elwood puts on a record . "This is probably one of the most famous pieces...

I came home and the kitchen was clean. The trash had been taken out. One of my roommates is vacuuming right now. Either I am living in the Twilight Zone, or somebody has been reading my blog. Thank you NaBloPoMo! Now I need 1,000,000 dollars. Let's see if that one gets granted too. I ended up going for an unintentional walk in the rain this afternoon. It was later than I had planned to take my lunch (time change, I guess) and as I walked out the door, it immediately started pouring. I didn't...

Yes, you've read it right: I'm doing NaBloPoMo this month. ^^* I actually wanted to do it last month, but the lack of Internet access during my trip to Singapore did not allow me to do so. A perfect way to get my lazy arse to blog regularly, isn't it? (Seriously, I'd be really thankful if I actually manage to post for 31 days straight.) Anyway, nothing really noteworthy happened today; the President's declaration of no classes today (since it was Bonifacio Day yesterday) didn't make much of a difference...
