Did you know that 95% of blogs lose momentum and die a painful unacknowledged death? That means only 5% of bloggers are able to maintain a life so filled with excitement and verve that their daily antics are worth sharing. How pathetic is that? I'm a little stressed just thinking about it. I think I'm talking myself out of this already.
It all seems so self-indulgent. My mother always said, "don't talk about yourself. Ask a lot of questions. Let OTHER people shine. Don't hog the limelight".
So to get this blog off to a rollicking good start (and to relieve my conscience) I'll need a little reciprocity-a little give and take. Some SHARING of information. I'll show you my mountain bike pictures (and close-ups of the gashes) . You send me a photo of you in your garden with the first ripe tomato. I'll share my famous recipe for Chicken Marbella (which is the best thing to serve company if you hate to cook), you contribute the secret proportions to your famous margarita recipe. I'll print the best of the best on my blog. So, really, this isn't all about me after all, is it? It's about US. So, let's get started.
Earlier this week I was asking for feedback on the movie "The Hangover". I read online that it is screamingly funny. But for who? Guys? Or do women love it too. It's a flick about a Vegas batchelor party gone bad.
I got this response from a very tuned in listener sent from her Blackberry:
Subject: The Hangover-A Woman's Perspective
A woman friend and myself saw this movie last night. Definitely hilarious; not all guy humour at all. Plus watching cute men was a bonus.
We laughed during the whole movie.
Ok . . .she sounds smart. I think this is a referral we can trust.
I'm looking for a new summer drink. Was into the extra dry apple ciders for a while . . . but I'm craving something with a little bite. Nothing tutti frutti. Any recomendations?
Have a great weekend.
