Snowmageddon 2014: A report in memes

– If you missed this at Part Time Monster yesterday, you should check it out now. It’s not only hilariously funny, it’s shaping up to be our most popular post ever, so you know it must be good 😉

Music

– This is why music is a real passion for me, rather than simply a pastime.

A Pondering Mind

Once upon a time, wasn’t singing a part of everyday life as much as talking, physical exercise, and religion? Our distant ancestors, wherever they were in this world, sang while pounding grain, paddling canoes, or walking long journeys. Can we begin to make our lives once more all of a piece? Finding the right songs and singing them over and over is a way to start. And when one person taps out a beat, while another leads into the melody, or when three people discover a harmony they never knew existed, or a crowd joins in on a chorus as though to raise the ceiling a few feet higher, then they also know there is hope for the world.

You can have your own tag!!

I am supposed to be putting things together for tomorrow, but I just discovered this and it is information that demands to be shared. I have my own wordpress tag. Seriously. Go to your reader and follow “Gene’O.” The reader will take out the caps and the apostrophe, but allow you to see everything I’ve written that’s either tagged with my name or filed in the “By Gene’O” categories at PTM and Sourcerer.

It was Taylor Grace who helped me figure this out. I read this post over there, which was kind of inspired by one I wrote earlier, and if you want to learn something about how to deal with frustration in a healthy way, you should go and read it. I noticed that post was tagged with my first name, so I had to go and take a look.

Blatherings: Snow and the Unknown

– I hope everyone had a Punchy (but safe) snow day. If you enjoyed the Professor’s Lord of the Flies adaptation I posted last week, you should check out the sequel.
