We all get in a rut about something or another. For me it can be what I order at a restaurant or cook at home. There is comfort in routine and certain things that give us a sense of familiarity. Everyone has a short list of things that we enjoy in life. Many of us don’t venture out to explore new things and to seek out new experiences. Maybe being in that rut says something about us, about how we need the security of predictable motions. Sheldon Cooper of “The Big Bang Theory” is one of those TV characters who stays in a rut, likes things to be the way they are. Anything new rocks his world and disturbs the order of his life. Sometimes we need an Amy Farrah Fowler (his girlfriend) to help us get out of routines and ruts and to see things in a new way. So whatever rut you are into try something new. It’s all good. Be brave, I hope I can follow my own advice.

So This Happened…500 Followers on WordPress
Congratulations on getting 500 total follows on The Blog of Tony Burgess!
Your current tally is 501.
I have been registered and have had some dormant blogs here on WordPress for several years. Back in April I made the decision I needed a change of venue for my blogging and decided that WordPress would be more than adequate to suit my needs.
I thank each of you who have followed this blog and for your interest in what I have to say. Sometimes I ramble on about things in my head and other times there are things that just need to be said. Keep on blogging good people!
Nothing New, Sort Of
It’s coming to the point where there is nothing new under the Sun. You see a lot of posts that have a familiar feel to them and that is because someone inspired someone else to write something. I think you see that in books and entertainment lately with a lot of reboots and story lines you have seen before. Everything runs together and sounds familiar. Now if someone just copied and pasted your work and did some slight changes then that is another story, that is stealing and that is wrong. I believe in being original or trying to be. Trying to do something new is a challenge. Protecting your work is a must. However know that inspiring someone to be creative is a honor and a privilege.
How Best To See Embedded Tweets In My Posts
Twitter has the feature of letting tweets be embedded in blogs and other sites. I am using this option to help curate things I am interested in. To see the embedded tweets in my blog you need to see the blog itself and not through the WordPress Reader because it doesn’t display the way it should.
Embedding tweets is a great way to bring new content and link people to stories on the web you want to share. To find out more on how to do this visit https://support.twitter.com/articles/20169559 where they have complete instructions. Now in WordPress you will need to use the HTML not the Visual editor to do this.
