The IWSG wants people to think of what they can do. What they can do. What someone can do. A lot of doings, huh? Can't you see the brain storming over the giant litterbox? What? Confused? Okay. Question first I guess.
June 5 question - In this constantly evolving industry, what kind of offering/service do you think the IWSG should consider offering to members?
No? Damn. I sure failed to drive that home. I drove all the way to NY instead. Must have zigged when I should have zagged.
I knew I should have taken a left at that big duck. Damn it.
I said no going down holes. That includes digging them. Children. They never listen.
Are you done yet, human? You aren't as funny as you think you are.
I second that.
I third it, pee on it, and pick my nose with my tongue at the same time. Ultimate multitasking.
Okay. I see the light. I'm not funny. What? I see the light. It's not on, but I see it. Seeeee?
Well he can't see that I see it like that. Geez. Children. Oh. That ship has sailed.
Then again. Maybe I am sea worthy. So confusing. Just like how I dodge answering the question, huh? I better go take a right at that big duck. Or was it left?
It was left. No. It was right. Walk time no matter which way you go though, human.
And don't forget me, human. I don't need any of those dumb leash things though.
See? Plenty of flowers. That will keep you busy until I make the left or the right or whatever.
Human, you really need to wave goodbye and take that left already. Not like you have much left up there to work with.
I'm ignoring the insulting mutt that picks its nose with its tongue while hitting the road and going left which was then right at that big duck.
I crossed that bridge when I came to it. Just saying.
We're in. You don't have to tell us twice.
What? I wasn't very helpful? Even after all of that I didn't give any ideas? I must be losing my touch. Maybe I should have done it in rhyme. At least I could have confused for a time. That I can do in mass with my little rhyming ass.
Time can be a hard thing to come by some days. Especially when you jaunt across a border and end up sixteen hours away or so. So that is one factor that works against any site. Another is that social media isn't what it used to be. If it even used to be anything. A lot of it has gone down the crapper. A nasty, well-used port-a-potty type crapper.
Blogging led to many a great thing, so it would be nice if it kept on doing so with the IWSG and such. But with the click bait attention spans of a gnat that most people have, it may take a lot for that to happen again.
Although a real life blogger meet up would be fun. That would be costly and the logistics would be crazy though.
So, yeah, unless you want me to weave some nonsense into a tale like above, which I can do upside down with one eye open, then unsure what any forward path would take.
Any ideas to stay relevant in blogland? Do you still care much about social media? Maybe I would if I stayed still long enough. I'm not Fundy Blue level going here and there and everywhere, but we get out more these days at our lair. Dogs and kids and NYers may do that to a guy. But I can still write this on the fly. Hmmmm. On the fly? Really? I'm not flying or pretending to fly yet I wrote it on the fly?
Let me check....Not standing on a fly either. River did just eat one a few minutes ago though. Literally did. No lie. I guess that counts? I'll fly away now though with no flying involved. Until next time when I pretend to answer a question but don't really answer the question while updating life.
All good in your land? Any updates at hand?
Enjoy life. Forget the strife.
That's a long drive. Visiting your sister and her kids? Not the usual rugrats.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine an IWSG conference? Where on earth would we host it?
Long arse drive indeed, but meh, didn't mind it too much. Visiting friends and kids. That would be fun indeed. Not sure where it would be hosted though. Some place nice like Hawaii? Lol
Deletethe car in the field of flowers is awesome !!! a classic....yours ? and da tabbies would say the giant quacker
ReplyDeletewould be THE ...werst nite mare in broad day lite....ever !!! be well and a happy summer to all ! ♥♥
The car was at a Tulip festival down on long Island. Hahaha how would we guess you didn't looooove the big duck.
DeleteWell it's nice to see you and it looks like lots of fun going on. I do like that big duck, I want one. Hey, blogging with friends is just the fun thing to do for us. I hope we see more of you just for the fun of it!
ReplyDeleteLol sure you could rig up a big duck in the backyard. Around we shall be here and there.
DeleteGreat roll forwards on the lines. Looks like a lot of happy things are going on over there. Makes me smile that kids and animals xo you. Dogs and kids know good people. :) I keep my and running blog up but it's just nothing at this point, and I'm okay with that... a lot has changed since I started it. I can't imagine any of my kids being thrilled to be pictured on it these days, especially the teen. hahahahahaha I don't want to pull the plug on it though. It's been around so long and I just like having it. :) Glad to see your post! Have a great summer!
ReplyDeleteYeah. A lot sure has changed since you started. I keep it to post here and there and as a landing page for the books. Surrounded by kiss and dogs is fun, so that I be. Hopefully you have a fun summer too.
DeleteThat's a long drive for sure especially by yourself! No germy plane for you? Good for you getting out and about. I still blog when I have something to say, but these days life is hard.
ReplyDeleteWasn't too bad. No germs and cheaper to drive too. So win win as out and about we go.
DeleteHey Pat, I enjoyed trailing along through the photos on your adventures. Those kiddos just keep right on growing don't they
ReplyDeleteThat they sure do. Have to enjoy it while we can.
DeleteNice pictures that give us insights into your life without strife.
ReplyDeleteThe concept of "relevance" is foreign to me.
Your silly rhyming self brings glee.
So just be you and keep loving what you do.
No strife be found and no need to go to ground. No relevance to any of it, but I don't give a shhh it. Being me is the way. Do people hear though what they say? Why would one ever want to give a shhhh it. Whether you like it none, all, or a bit.
DeleteI'm glad I found this, my rhyming friend! You posted after my visit on IWSG Day. And what a fun post! I'm glad to see that you are getting out and about! I for one am not ready to give up on blogging, even if it's less popular than it was! So glad you posted. You gave me lots to laugh about!
ReplyDeleteGotta keep you guessing when I shall post lol out and about is name of the game indeed. Not sure who names it, but we'll go with it. Glad laughs were had at our pad. Yeah. You'll never give up lol
Deleteawe you have such a wonderful place full of life and beauty that life offers to an insightful heart :)
ReplyDeletei ma glad i visited from Louise's s recent post here to reconnect your magical world !

Sure lots of things to do if you look here indeed. Moments with the kids and pets and nyers add up.
DeleteHow fun that you visited Jax and family. I miss her in blogland. Will she ever return?
ReplyDeleteDoubtful she will.
DeleteThat's a mighty big duck! Love all the pics!
ReplyDeleteThat it is indeed.
DeleteLove all the pictures. Change is the one constant, so we just have to accept the temporary nature of the things we enjoy. We just don't always realize it at the time.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best advice: Enjoy life. Forget the strife.
That we have to indeed. Busy things cam be but change is alwsys coming so best to take a breath when we can.
