Postcards from the Funny Farm

Ok, so I’m making a meme that breaks the rules. I’m very hopeful that everybody I tag with this one will respond. Of course, as with all memes I send out, if I forgot you and you want to paticipate in this meme, here’s the rules:

1. After your intro, copy/paste this line and the rules below it: The originator wants to see how far it goes so please keep his link intact: postcardsfromthefunnyfarm.com
2. Encourage people to post with the incentive of a link by including those who have passed it along here:

3. Visit at least 3 on the list who’ve written and passed this meme. Leave them a comment.

The Nonblog Meme: Thursday Three

Today I hereby “unblog” my mind with this post. One reason MANY of us writers get writer’s block is because we don’t nurture the things that give us joy. We spend too much time on the computer trying to write when we haven’t done anything worthy of writing about! To illustrate what makes me tick, and what gives me pure joy I am choosing 3 things I enjoy more than blogging and writing about them! Pick three things that enrapture, consume, fascinate, or otherwise enliven you more than blogging. Then write a few lines about each to explain what the nonblog activity does for you, why and how. My post below:

Guitar: When I pick up my guitar I thumb, pick, pluck, brush, and strum my way to heaven. There is hardly any trouble that a little guitar playing can’t fix. Changing strings, teaching guitar, hearing guitar, anything related to the 6-string calms my soul. I like it better than blogging.

Watching DVD’s on the couch with my wife: Lately we have seen “The Cider House Rules,” and “Les Miserables” to name a few. Sometimes we are blogging while we watch, but she can get me off my Papsan anytime to get close on the couch and watch a good drama or comedy together. I like it better than blogging.

Playing “horsie” and tag with my 2 year old: This gives the upper 2 a run for their money. She is a darling and I feel so lucky to be her dad. My other kids are a blast too. We are a real “carpet wrestling” family. I like it better than blogging.

I like these three things for sure more than blogging. But I do like blogging a lot!

I’ll tag my blogroll because I am curious what they would have to say . . .
