A 'Guessed' Posting.

First off, I wish to thank Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar for doing the previous pawsting, um posting.  I know she hastily did her poetic post so that we could move on from seeing my "tough dude" face in the posting before her posting.

I'm running a little behind. Or maybe it's a big behind.  Bottoms up.  I have an announcement to make that should of been made on Friday, July 26,  2013.  Told you I was a little or big behind.
I was asked by the kind and lovable Damyanti if I would possibly do a guest posting. Would I like to do a cynical, satirical, sarcastic, maybe even bordering on witty guest posting?  A guest posting that alluded to my thoughts on social 'notworks' such as, 'Farcebook'. Yes, that fascinating place where you can read my vital to your life, profile updates.  If you're not on Farcebook, gosh, think what you've been missing.

I was even considering posting up my thoughts on Damyanti's site in regards to blogfests, blog hops, blog parties, blog tours, blog challenges and the dreaded, "A to Z Challenge" that hijacks the month of  April. Oh how I look forward to the month of May. Only to discover A to Z reflection posts about reflection posts about reflection posts.  Before you know it, it's April 2014 and the darned thing starts all over again.

Do I mention that Damyanti is a co-host of the A to Z Challenge?  I suppose I just did.  The irony is not lost on me. In fact, more irony, even though I'd rather be publicly humiliated in the stocks at the local market square, I have, in my own discreet way, promoted the darned thing for those who might consider participating.

If you've never had the delight of visiting our friend, Damyanti's site, you will find the link to her site below. You will note that not only does she write thoughtful musings, she displays the ethos of bringing further awareness of her fellow writers and bloggers.  I'm grateful to know her. Damyanti, thank you for the opportunity to guest post and I wish to apologise that I somewhat screwed up by doing a serious guest post. I owe you something tongue-in-cheek.

 Here's the link to Damyanti's site and my guest post : Writing on Writing : Amlokiblogs

In Other News


















The collaboration writing challenge is ongoing.  I would like to pass on my gratitude to Samantha Geary for getting this endeavour so well organised.  To check out the continuing story, you can find it here: Tree of Life: Branching Out

And even more news.  There's some sort of anti-blogfest circulating the wonderful world of blogging.  Can you believe it?   If for some weird reason, you want to get involved and you haven't already, here it is in all its glorious irony, "The Anti-Blogfest Gary Fest".  The info about this non-contest can be found via these fine collection of well meaning folks.

Here are the list of hosts!

    Of course you are a very popular chap Mr Gary good sir, whose is so popular that you even get your own antiblogfest blogfest. Where as my keenness to do the A to Z in my own quirky little way has turned my blog into a bloggers antiblog blog shunned by the masses and the movers and shakers of the A to Z world. They will smile and say OOOooo no he is a nice man, but I know what they think of my rubbish typing and funny little drawing on scrap paper with a ball point pen. Just cos I am older than most of them and a bit grimpy (sorry grumpy)

    But I don't mind because I am happy being me in the strange world of cyberspace with my little band of readers and have made several friends that I could never have made without the wonders of the internet. And I get to grumble at the entire world too WELL COOL

      Hi Rob,

      This might surprise you, but I'm not very well known at all. I'm blessed with a lot of comments, that's true. However, I'm very proactive and as you know, I promote a lot of blogs on 'Farcebook' and a number of other social 'notworks'.

      You know I appreciate that you did the A to Z in your own unique way. The rules, to heck with them. Those that would leave you insincere comments don't know you. They don't realise what a totally decent chap you are. You are not shunned. I just think you're not as well known as some who actually are only on a blatant self-promoting ego-trip. Something we both, I'm sure, find in poor taste.

      Continue to be happy with who you are. You have an intimate group of readers. A shared experience. Good sir, I know of blogs with over a 1000 followers and zero comments. That tells me about the superficiality that sadly lingers out there.

      You note I go into great detail in my reply. All different, all equal, as far as I'm concerned :)

      Oh my comments can be long, rambling, disjointed, incoherent and have nothing to do with the post's topic. Right up there with those um really "sincere" comments such as, "Great Post!" "Thanks for Sharing! I follow your blog!"

      Ah yes, 'Farcebook' and my incredibly philosophical updates such as, "I just had a cup of coffee!" Wow and neato...

      Those list of questions were a tongue-in-cheek parody of Alex's blog :) I'm thrilled that you're thrilled beyond belief. Somebody hit me with a wet noodle. Damyanti from the dreaded 'opposition', is such a nice lady. Just like you, Morgan.

      Have a nice rest of your weekend. I shall look for you on 'Farcebook'! :)

    This just reminded me of the scene in (Luhrman's) Gatsby: "Lemon or sugar?" "Neither." I honestly can't remember if it was in the novel, that's how long I've been hanging around with Mobys and Ishmaels.

    I hopped over and read your guest post. I loved the idea of writing to just one person, and if I may ask, why was that post so much shorter? It felt like it was just getting started, and left us, your faithful readers, wanting more. Perhaps that was your aim? Either way, sending greetings from scorching continental Europe and hoping you are well.

      Nothing like a bit of Moby Dick. Maybe that didn't sound right. Lemon and sugar, in my case. Sour and sweet?

      I'm very pleased that you would go and check out my "guessed" posting. I think writing to an audience takes away the intimacy. Right now, I'm typing to you. Just you and me in a conversation through the screen :) The post was at such a length to comply with the guest guidelines. Besides, I might of ran out of words....

      It be hot in Europe. Although, I never know whether you're in Europe, the good ol' U.S. of A or Antarctica! :)

      Hope you had a good weekend and got cooled off by your fans. You can take the word "fans" in any context.

Not mine, other people's who are visiting. Love the visit. Not used to babies. One is at the Pterodactyl Scream stage of life. It's hard at 5PM, impossible at 5AM.

    I wasn't going to enter your Anit-Blogfest Gary Fest, not because I don't like those festive occasions, but because of my small guest with the amazing lung power. Howsoever, it seems that I've succumbed to your anti-charm strategy, and am now committed to the endeavor. Now you'll have to excuse, me. There's a Pterodactyl calling for me.

    I probably told you this before, but you, my dear man, are an anigma dressed up as a mystery. I could listen to your thoughts on any subject any day of the week. Thus, I'm begging your forgiveness for being so tardy in reading your posts. I promise I'll catch up. Off now to read your invaluable guest post.

      Wow and thanks, dear lady. How encouraging that you would listen to what I write. I'm deeply honoured by that. Joylene, you have plenty going on in your life. I know that your transitions, your concerns and the thoughts of new adventures, have been of the utmost urgency. Which means, I'm sending you peaceful, hopeful vibes for that better future you so desire.

      Thank you so much for commenting on my guest posting on Damyanti's wonderful site.

    Stopped by earlier and silly computer wouldn't let me leave a comment. Came back to try again. Enjoyed your poem on Damyanti's blog. Thinking about the "not a blog hop" Garyfest...lots to catch up on, and need to see how things go this week. There's still time, so I may add my name to the list yet:)

      Hi M.J.,

      Silly technology. Thank you for liking my poem on Damyanti's site. I'm not thinking about the anti-blogfest blogfest :) You have been going through some challenging times. You know I wish you well. Healthy eating, my friend.

    I love the way your mind works Gary, it makes me think of Van Eyck's painting The Arnolfini
    Marriage, where the scene as reflected in the convex mirror directly behind the couple. :O)

      Hi Madeleine,

      Penny and myself, her mere human, appreciate how you backtracked to some other postings. Very kind of you :) Ah yes, an image within an image within an...I wish I knew how my mind works. I shall reflect upon that. Thank you, Madeleine.

    Dang Gary you are popular!! Mood determines my smoothness or crunchiness. But I'm in too much of a hurry to bloghop on over to see the interview, so ill answer another time. Maybe during my own interview. Oh the life , always the bridesmaid never the bride.

      Ah Tammy,

      My alleged popularity is just an illusion. When you consider my blog is 6 1/2 years old, I'm hardly known. I stay discreetly in the background.

      Smooth of crunchy. Depends on your mood. I understand that. Actually, thanks for leaving a comment over at Damyanti's site.

      Speaking of interviews, I really should try to interview you like we mentioned before. I suppose I should take a number. No doubt, there are millions of folks before me wanting to interview you.

      Gary :)

      Hi Hilary,

      I wanted to thank you for going back through my postings and Penny's posting. I know you are very busy and thus, much appreciated.

      Did I see mention of the dreaded alphabet challenge? Yes I did. "A" is for "Argggghhhh!" Thank you for such an august mention.

      I thank you for flying over to Damyanti's.

      Gary :)

I do try to comment back to each commenter individually. However, I might have to shorten my replies or give a group thank you. That way, I can spend more time commenting on your blogs. Thank you and peace, my friend.
