Rida's correct – the end is near and it seems that with the final stretch in sight I've been posting later and later and….
Hell I don't have a word yet!
T. Popular letter. Useful for This and for That. Those and These. Terrible and Tolerable. Tyrants and Thieves and…
Oh PICK A WORD, will you?
Fine.
T is for…
Back to playing by the rules.
This wasn't the word I had originally planned to use. That word, sadly, lost in the recesses of my mind, buried under stories yet untold – and probably also stories told over and over to Rida despite the fact that she sighs repeatedly when I start them. (Some of those are on purpose, of course)
So I had to get…
Being an editor/co-owner here comes with a few perks. Sure, there's the fantastic lifestyle that the title of Editor entails. But beyond that, I get to break some rules.
Watch carefully.
R is for RIDA.
Romance author, dog fanatic, brilliant, PITAP, etc….
As most of you know, Rida and I are, in fact, married. We have been married for…
The theme: words that make you a smartass. Or, in my case, a particularly smart smartass.
There's nothing quite as much fun as insulting someone who doesn't entirely realize they've been insulted, but others know. Shakespeare was the master of this sort of language – I suspect that he probably wasn't very good at comebacks in…
It's already shaping up to a rough week in the world, isn't it? In the words of a fine author we just lost: So it goes.
P is for Persistence.
I don't think I need to define it.
Don't give up. Stay strong. Persist and survive.
–Robert
In keeping with yesterday's theme a bit:
O is for Obstacle
: something that impedes progress or achievement
Life is full of obstacles. Obstructions, another fine O-word. How you deal with obstacles on your road to success is often what makes you, because the road never really ends, and certainly the number of obstacles never really…
Today a word I hate….
Never.
1 : not ever : at no time <I never met her>
2 : not in any degree : not under any condition <never the wiser for his experience>
What's wrong with never? It's a word used to keep you from doing things. "It will never work." "Never gonna happen." Etc.
A story of mine…
I'm going to pull out the cheap sentiment for this one.
M is for Mom.
She'll probably never read this – my mom isn't much for the internet, or email, for that matter. This Brave New World isn't really something she gives much time to. Nevertheless if not for her I'd never have gotten my start in it – she got me my first…
Breaking the theme of "stuff about me" we'll go with the theme of "Words That are Bloody Hard to Spell" and crossbreed it with the theme of "So Not Me" and present the word for L:
L is for Lackadaisical
: lacking life, spirit, or zest : LANGUID
synonym see LANGUID
Zest? I've got so much zest I'm…
Man, are we only on the 11th letter? Not even at the MIDPOINT for this krazy exercise? Who are we kidding, here?
What do you mean, "Get to the point!" What makes you think I HAVE a point?
Oh, the word, you mean. Get to the word. Today's word. For K.
Oh-Kay then.
Um.
K is for….
hmmm. Let's see.
Those of you…
