Sunday Snippets #2: Dr. Seuss and I
Sorry for being AWOL last Sunday. Anyway, here is the second Sunday Snippets for you to enjoy. Here is a quote from Dr. Seuss’ “Oh, the Places You’ll Go.”, and at the bottom of it is the question you are to answer:
“You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You’re on your own.
And you know what you know.And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go.”
“What do you think when you read the quote?”
Reminder: This is a free writing meme, so set your timers to 10-20 minutes and just write down all your thoughts about the topic, or not, and forget about the errors, the grammar, the spelling. Write fast, but do not rush. Ready? GO!
Doing some stretching
They say you need to stretch well before doing anything really. This is my form of stretching for now. This is my stretching for writing. I need to do more writing so I can write with the speed of light… kazoooom!
Anyway, you know, I quit doing Project 365. LOL Yes, me and my short attention span did not have enough strength to go on a thorough Project 365. However, I have decided to do a daily posting of pictures – not necessarily captured daily. 
In case you are interested to see my photos, please visit this link: http://www.photoblog.com/neverdainty.
Next, we used to have this online radio called Wild Ride FM. Actually, it was a project of a chatmate of D and I, DJ Vhon. This was set up almost a year ago using my meager design powers. LOL. Anyway, I am quite sad because as of the moment, the radio is down due to some server problems. It could be out for good.. or not. I hope it does get back online.
Bursting with Creativity
I do not know about you, but these days, I am bursting with creativity. Ideas are popping everywhere, further inclinations towards art and music are apparent, AND the desire to do something else is just starting. As a result, I have created yet another site. However, I can assure you this is tad bit different. How so? Well, it is just me podcasting. LMAO. Oh I know I do not have a mow-du-lay-ted (modulated) voice, but I just wanted to take a spin on podcasting – just so I know how to do it, and stuff like that. Methinks its good so I can let all the loose thoughts in my mind roam into one single container. Then again, I think a journal is better because I do not want to share ALL of my ideas to the public. Whaddaya think I am? CRAZY?
As of the moment, I am not yet ready to share with my readers my podcasting. Perhaps next week.
…
The thing about stretching is that sometimes you stand up from your desk and do some things in between that you tend to forget your train of thought. Of course I aimed to write something.. but that something is lost… Maybe I will find it later.
For now I shall leave you while I gather my thoughts..
Coffee. cereals, and emotions anyone? 
Sunday Snippets #1
Kicking off Sunday Snippets, we shall start with a nice familiar question that goes:
“If you could be any person in the world, who would you be, and why?”
Reminder: This is a free writing meme, so set your timers to 10-20 minutes and just write down all your thoughts about the topic, or not, and forget about the errors, the grammar, the spelling. Write fast, but do not rush. Ready? GO!
Sunday Snippets: A Free Writing Meme
I have always wanted to start my own meme but I really did not have the time to come up with the rules and regulations of the meme. Zee had me make the rules – which I did not intend to work on really, but I now I have.
Okay so Sunday Snippets is the name of the meme. Lainee Lang helped me come up with an idea to make it a free writing meme/prompt. Our inspiration was our EL 33 classes which helped us pretty much open the flood gates to our so-called “creativity”.
What is free writing? Please do not panic, it is really not a scary thought. As Mr. Wiki put it, “Free writing (also stream-of-consciousness writing) is a writing technique in which a person writes continuously for a set period of time without regard to spelling, grammar or topic.” It means that you just write and write whatever comes to mind regarding the question at hand, irregardless of possible spelling problems, continuity problems, or even topic problems. (say what?!) Well, yes, topic should be in mind, but I guess it would be clearer in the RULES area of the meme.
The rules are pretty much based on Natalie Goldberg’s “Rules for Free Writing” but I added a few and twisted some here and there. The rules are as follows:
- Set up a time limit of around 10 to 20 minutes for writing, and when the time is up, you should stop.
- Once you have decided to start writing, make sure you keep tapping those keyboards, and do not even pause just to start at a nail or go over what you have read. Just write everything that is on your mind on that instant – be quick about it but do not rush.
- Within the time you are writing, disregard thoughts of grammar, punctuation, spelling, neatness, style, or whatever. This time, the act of writing is important and not exactly the style or quality of your post. Think of it as an exercise.
- If you run out of ideas regarding the topic, just keep writing anyway. If worse comes to worst, just write whatever comes into your head – just write until your time is up.
- If you feel bored with my prompts (sorry, I will try to come up with really good ones), ask yourself what is bothering you, i.e., “Why do I dislike the prompt?”, “Why do I feel so tired today?”. It does not matter if it is far off base, just write about it.
- Do not “spell check”, do not reread it – just post it. Just write a disclaimer at the bottom if you feel uneasy writing without double checking. You could redirect your reader to this blog for the rules.
- Please try to visit those who have joined the meme.
- Please include this banner before every post.
FYI: You may not do it on a Sunday, really. You can answer it some other time. Just make sure you do answer it before I release the next question – which will be next Sunday.
As of the moment, I have no idea how to configure Mr. Linky, so I will update you as I go. I will, however, make it a point to link back to those who have joined. Okies? Okay!
Suggestions, and violent reactions are welcome. I hope to hear from and read from you!

Farm Town OUTAGE of 2009
Written: June 9, 2009 (but I failed to post it… Sorry dudes)
Do you do Facebook? If you do, I am pretty sure that you at least have an inkling as to what Farm Town is. Yes, like Pet Society, Restaurant City, Mafia Wars, and all other apps in Facebook, Farm Town is one of those interactive games where people enjoy themselves immersed in a game that is as addictive as any drug out there.
I quote one farmer in the Slashkey forum who said:
“Farm Town is like Crack to people, is it?”
