As I mentioned in my extremely thought provoking post below, I had nothing to write about. And since work was slow today I decided to do some reading. And after getting through my normal blog-reads I still had an hour before lunch. So, in the interest of killing some more time, I needed some new reads. And therefore I devised myself a little game.
I went to the blog of the last person to leave me a comment. In this case it was Terri. From there I visited the blog of the last person to leave her a comment on HER site. And so on and so forth.
This was a really fun thing to do and I found some cool blogs that I know I will be returning to down the road. And who knows, maybe something here might strike your interest and you'll visit them as well. Or even better, you'll try this out game on your site yourselves sometime.
With no further delay, here's where my morning travels took me:
Stop #1 - Terri. Terri has been blogging about rediscovering herself and her faith. She had a wonderful post yesterday about going to church by herself.
Stop #2 - Logzi. Logzi had the first comment on Terri's post so she was my next stop. I had never been there before and she's a mom of three. On this particular post she was talking about how she much preferred the cheap $12 watches from Target to something expensive.
Stop #3 - Kate. Kate was the next stop and she was talking about putting Vaseline on her nipples. I won't ruin the story but it's safe for work.
Stop #4 - Hammer. Hammer was pissed off. Apparantly he had an issue with a guest who slept over. And apparantly this happens a lot.
Stop #5 - Phlegmfatale. I don't make up these names (and I'm not sure if I did that would have been one I was going to use.) Anyway this woman took time out from her shoes long enough to post about the sadness in Burma.
Stop #6 - DBA Dude. DBA Dude seemed to be one of Phlegmfatale's regular visitors and he was posting about his nickname, Obi-Wan. What struck me funny about this is that is what Jenn has called me for 3 years whenever the topic of her ex-husband came up.
Stop #7 - RT. RT had a picture up on his (her?) site of Putin under the heading of "The next dictator". I didn't read too much here, but you are free to.
Stop #8 - deathlok. This guy was (not surprisingly) posting about Zombie Movies. Zombie Movies are cool. I may have to go back here.
Stop #9 - Wyatt Earp. This looked to be nothing more than a fantasy football site so you may want to save yourself the trouble unless you care about some league you aren't playing in.
Stop #10 - Skywriter. This is the site of a woman who used to do some skywriting. I may have to go back there, the header graphic is a really cool image of a bi-plane skimming the water and her latest post featured a Calvin and Hobbes comic strip.
Anyway, that's how I spent my time. Enjoy some new reads if you haven't been to any of these places before.

Cool experiment! I'll have to check out some of the blogs you discovered. I like how this ends up being sort of a "meme" and sends traffic to other blogs but doesn't hold those involved to some sort of obligation. Great idea!
Hey, that was fun! Thanks for stopping by. I'll be back to check out your blog more. :0)
Thanks for the visit.
I think you link the wrong site to Wyatt's blog though.
Too fun! You always have the best ideas!!
Yep. Deathlok's right. You checked out the wrong blog. I'm at Support Your Local Gunfighter (sharpshooters.blogspot.com)
actually I didn't do the skywriting. . just a term for my writings. . I was an airline pilot (captain for a large carrier) now am a federal agent, having decided to do the career change after getting my Ph.D. in criminal justice. In any event, I'm so glad you visited. and hope you come back. I've been doing the "alone" thing for quite a while now and you might enjoy some of my posts on growing up and into myself.
I like the name of your site. Better than crazy joe, axe murderer. (he doesn't get too many visits on his blog LOL)
Welcome!
P.S. You definately got the wrong site for Wyatt, what you got is one he's been a part of that's sports related but his site is an adventure in and off itself and not to be missed unless you have no sense of humor of community.
go check it.
I'm a girl, hence the pink flower. :)
Yeah. Wyatt's blog is worth the read. Go back and visit it again.
Your question: The Ph.D. took me about 18 months but I was always working part time. If you are getting it post B.S. figure three years. Normally it takes, if I remember correctly, 68 credits, with 18 being the average for course work, and 14 for the thesis and various transfer and professional course credits. I have to tell you, I stayed up until abaout 3 am for about six months finishing the dissertation which was published but I think only my employer and my big brother (no, not THAT big brother, the sibling kind) read. I had my B.S. in aeronautical enginnering and my MBA already. But my folks were both law enforcement officers and it was just something I always wanted to do even if I was 40 when I did it and no one really cared, I just wanted to finish it.
you want a great timewaster for a slow workday/bad tv night?
Get a facebook profile. OMG, I am terribly addicted! Quite a few bloggers you might recognize (using our REAL names!) on there!
What a neat idea! How wonderful.
