Before You Judge Him: Take His Shoes and Walk a Mile Away.

The first time you read this man you might not know exactly how to take him. Don't.

Give it to him with both barrels. Laugh your ass off the whole time you're doing it...but give it to him with both barrels just the same!

Leave no stone unturned in your search for the cliches to be found in this man's work. But one thin you'll have to admit to is: His information is good.

There will be some times when you might want to tell this guy to bite his tongue clean off and let the blood spray...and suddenly you realize he was right again.

It's not even so much that he says anything in too snarky of a manner. What he has to tell you is important enough to say even if he doesn't necessarily say it in a nice way. (He's not a bad guy at all.)

But say it anyway he does...Go here for the stuff!

Writing for Associated Content - One Year into My Journey by Jennifer Wagner

Here it is. One year of writing for Associated Content. I can honestly say that I didn't believe you could get paid to write online, but I am pleased to admit that I was wrong. Writing for Associated Content has opened new doors for me in other online writing jobs, and I have slowly learned how to make money writing online.

In one year of writing for Associated Content, I have earned over $ 700.00, which is not earth-shattering, but that is my own fault.
Let met express the importance of learning SEO writing. If I had taken the time to learn SEO writing when

"For It Is I" A Forgivable Amateur Poem by Donald Pennington

I originally published this at:

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2235935/for_it_is_i_a_forgivable_amateur_poem.html?cat=42 ,

and while I certainly enjoy publishing there, since I did it as Display Only I've decided to also use it to grow this blog.

There's gold to be had in them thar blogs! While I hope you enjoy this piece, I'm sure asking you to survive one more amateurish piece like this one, is survivable for you.

...for it is I who gets to tell you of a fateful coming day
Of the old and new in passing that ends an age and starts a way
Where happy everlasting calms the quotes and sets the say
Into the all and ever-lasting until the rebel starts the fray.

For it is I who's seen the workings of wondrous wonder's plot
To steal the mind and other values and turning all to what is not
What seems to be so ever mindful of effects of till or rot
And through the time of filth and sot...

...we think we've bargained what we bought...

For it is I who laid the open into freedom's final hold
As I thought I served my masters with the eyes so dark and cold.
To having seen the evil makes a hatred hard and bold,
And, be it ever in my memory even when I'm gray and old.

...be it ever in my memory even though I'm gray as told.

For it is I who read the passages and felt another's mind.
For it is I who found the fabled keys within another maze's find.
For it is I who understands the power of simply being kind.
For it is I who takes the journey now to "see what he can find."

Let a New Writer Find a Reader. Will Ya?

Hello my wonderful readers! I'm so glad you're back!

Have a seat. Relax. If you're willing to help me find 1 million visitors...JUST VISITORS...from the US then I'm willing to make it worth your trouble unto your favorite charity and mine St.Jude's Children's Research Hospital!Look, I'll make a deal with every single visitor that comes to my little blog post here, once every 24 hours: If this particular blog post of mine ever gets 1 million unique visits (every 24 hours), in any ONE DAY, from US surfers, I'll give $1,000 USD to St Jude's Children's Research Hospital!

That's just visitors! No sales, visits, hits, or other actions required. All I need are ONE MILLION, unique-per-24-hours, US visitors, to this blog post, in any ONE 24-hour period, to generate a $1,000 donation to one of the best (I think you'll agree) charities on earth!

That offer breaks down to $1 USD per every thousand US visitors, within any day.

I know that's not a lot of money. But I don't think it's too bad considering I'm only asking you to visit and share once daily. If you 'look around' on the blog, that doesn't hurt either, but you're not even required to do that!. How's that for simple and affordable way to help a great charity?

We're completely sponsored already so we're not even trying to get you to buy advertising (visit the 'your ad here' link if you want to...cheap!) or any sort of membership, trial, or other commitment. You will not be required to ever cancel anything to avoid any fees of any sort.

ALL I'm asking of you today is to try to enjoy me, and share me, for that is all I can rightfully ask with my art. Is this not so?

If you, the soul currently reading this page only share me successfully with two others who do the same, we will succeed! If every single reader who reads this, found those two within the next thirty minutes, we'll achieve this on the first day!! Realistically, we may not do this on the first day, but wait til you read the BEST part!

Even if we only try, and don't even come 10% of the way, St Jude's still earns!

Please bear in mind the number reflected in the counter below is an up-to-date counter and represents the total and not necessarily the number for any given particular month. Whatever level/amount of live, unique, US visitors you do share my blog with, I'll still donate $1 per thousand to St Jude's!

I'm not asking, leading, tricking, or cajoling anyone into buying anything/service/plan at all either (but for the idea of helping a great cause in St Jude's)!

Thus far we only need 999,921 more today! Please share us with all of your friends right now!

Many of you may be thinking "Great! Another guy offering to do a fundraiser to get page-views!" Well...yeah! But they have to be US page views to be funded. Yes. I want to give back a little and St Jude's is probably one of the few real charities left to help.

Seems the homeless situation here in Meadville is as repaired as anyone here wants it to be. So I'm moving on to another project. This one.

Thank you!




We've earned $.14 USD for St. Jude's! Bring in more by sending this particular link to everyone you know! Tweet/#RT us at http://tinyurl.com/yde99jv #RT #follow @nostate please!

"Knock No More" by Linda Ann Nickerson

Recently, one of the websites I write for had a really fun little flash fiction contest.

They gave us writers the opening line...but that was it well...besides the usual contest rules and an 800 word limit.

Sadly, for me, I did not win. No problem.

But good for us all, this entry did win!

I'm not going to spoil it for you. Just go to the link mentioned and read "Knock No More"

Developing Your Writing Gift-Magena Fawn

Developing Your Writing Gift
A good writer will read and study a variety of literary works by a number of authors. This past Memorial Day weekend, I picked up a short story by Ernest Hemingway called "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" while
resting at a bird sanctuary in Lexington, Virginia. This story is about the death of an author who is on safari in Africa. He is lying on a cot waiting for the vultures to devour his remains. He realizes he will not receive medical attention in time to be saved. Like most people, he has regrets as he lies at the door of death. He regrets that he didn't finish several writing projects. He mourns at the thought that "now he would never write the things that he had saved to write until he knew enough to write them well".

While punctuation, spelling and grammar are certainly...Go here for the best!

French Men Drop Their Drawers to Save Their Jobs

French Men Drop Their Drawers to Save Their Jobs
And Put Together Something Special for Women
We all have one, or have seen one. Some are bigger than others; some don't quite measure up to our expectations. Some are thin, some are thick. Some are put together pretty good, some fall apart. Some sparkle, others are dull and lifeless.

Some have little glitches on them, some are smooth as silk. Some have a staple, some are just perfect. Some are dark, some are light. Some try to initiate a mood, while others just hang around. Some you would pass up, others you would pay a lot of money to see.


I bet you have one, and your dad to and your brother. I know people that have more than one. Some people have one in every room in the house. Some people could care less if they get a new one or not. Some people recycle theirs.

You have one, I'm sure you do. I have one also. As a matter of fact I'm looking at it right now. Yes, there it is. It's right here in this room where I can see it...it's my wall calendar. My beautiful "Just Labs" 2009 wall calendar that it totally PG13 rated.

Some workers in France put together their own raw calendar. The reason 'behind' the calendar is to help save their jobs, or they say that's the 'point' of it. You heard me; they are letting it all hang out in order to draw attention to their potential unemployment. How this is going to save their jobs is way beyond me. I guess in the overall scheme of things this is much safer than blowing up the post office after you are fired, or kidnapping an x-boss to prove a point. At least no one gets...Go here for the rest!
