Ad is an "A" Word as in Personal Ad

Albino HMS Monkey looking for companionship, romance and more. "If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain. If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain. If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape. You're the love that I've looked for. Come with me, and escape."

Alphabetical Justice

I’ve become consciously aware of my enjoyment of writing about a single word, single phrase or singe thought. I suppose I just can’t leave well enough alone. The alphabet thing I had going here (twice) seemed to work somewhat. The problem is I also have a disdainful, arrogant, aloof disregard to rules. If I do the alphabet, then I have to go by the rules, and follow the alphabet in alphabetical order or maybe backwards. (Yeah… me follow rules very long? Right!) Either way, there are rules of order, and that’s where my personality clashes with the concept.

You will remember sometimes it was quiet some time between posts, not just because life took precedent, but also because my mind was on something else besides a subject that started with the next letter of the alphabet. Tahdah! I have a new work-around idea.

I will do the alphabet thing, as it pops up, that is when I feel like it, but not in the order of the alphabet. I’ll just check off a letter as I go and randomly pick off the alphabet as subjects, words, etc. pop into my head to post about. It’ll be the pop, post, pick method. The idea pops, it gets posted, that picks off a letter. Next time around I pick off another letter. I’ll be happy as I get to break the alphabetical order rule. You the reader will get more frequent posts of things that hopefully will be a bit more meaningful. And all God’s chillin’ gets shoes. That’s what I call win-win-win.

Now if I could just figure out how to color those pesky corner curve thingys in the blogger codes… or if someone had a helpful suggestion. Erh?

Shoes, shoes, shoes, shoes.
All God’s chillin’ got shoes.

And that’s the way it is today, here, beneath the ninety percent full Carolina moon. What was it I said yesterday about going through Chaos to get to Order? Nevermind. If you've forgotten just read it again.

Another Nice Mess

Here's another nice mess I've gotten myself into! A three minute tour into Blogger's new features and three days later here I am. The new "stuff" is beginning to come together... sorta. It may work out yet. Successfully rolling with the punches was always one of my positive attributes, talents, blessings, gifts, whathaveyous. It seems the older I get the less resilient I am. Thank goodness I was always of an extraordinarily high resilience.

Sometimes, things get worse before they get better. In fact, around here they frequently do just that. Sometimes the road to order goes through chaos. Hey! I like that saying! I just coined it! Or maybe I didn't. Maybe it was gift presented through me. You may never know, but I already do. Because, that's the way it is here beneath the Carolina moon. Sometimes the road to Order goes through Chaos.

Posted by Dread who knows that Ollie and Stanley never said "another fine mess", but did frequently use "another nice mess".

Ow! That'll Leave a Mark!

I've managed to royally half mess up the blog page. I'm going to stop for today. This is one job better left half done, rather than completely messing it up. No, this pic isn't me either, but I have frequently walked into glass doors.

Posted by Dread who thought "mess" was a much more polite word than the other two choices.

Changing/Fixing Things

No, that is not me. That is a picture of Juan Phartez famous Columbian gormet pinto bean farmer and formula one mechanic. This picture is to illustrate this post; poorly. Yes, very poorly. And, I'll probably get hate mail for the Columbian pinto bean farmer, politically incorrect comment. So be it.

I'm experimenting with a new header/logo. Okay, not new to Beneath the Carolina Moon, but new to this location with Blogger. Making all this work out is challenging, and I really don't have tons of time to tinker around and figure it all out. If anyone has a quick tip, I'll take it.

The quicker I can get this all figured out, the quicker I can get to the next post which is, I assure you, very southern, very gossipy without the gossip, and has to do with... wait! Someone just tell me how to change/fix the header/logo!
