When facing a daunting task its good to take it one bite at a time. Eating a meal requires one bite at a time. A bite can be something smaller than its whole. Bites can leave a mark that can leave behind some of you. A vampire only needs a bite to change someone into a vampire themselves or perhaps to suck the blood out of someone. It only took a spiders bite to create a superhero. A bite can do a lot of things…both good and not so good.

Thank You WordPress.com For A Wonderful Blogging Platform #wordpressdotcom
Thanks to the people at Automattic and WordPress.com for creating a great blogging platform for expression and community and connection. I am grateful to them for doing all the heavy lifting of hosting and behind the scenes stuff. Supporting them is something I gladly do. I will be renewing my personal service tier soon. Keep on blogging fellow WordPress peeps.
Everyone Gets It Wrong Sometimes
One part of this blog is its dedication to current events. That is because I am big on posting about things that are happening now. However there comes a time when I get stuff wrong. I rely upon sources from the media that have a long history of journalism and getting things right. Today I posted about the death of rock star Tom Petty. It was later that his death was not verified so as of this post he is still alive.
Everyone gets things wrong sometimes but you want to be as right as you can. Keeping on top of things means verifying your sources multiple times. The web does have some great websites to verify reality from urban legend to misinformation. When I get something wrong I will own up to it and say I am sorry. Ones reputation online means being accurate as much as you can.
Daily Prompt: Popular
In school and pretty much through life I have never been popular. It’s something that hasn’t bothered me except I do like being included in things or thought of. Personally I don’t think I could handle being the “IT” person or the guy everyone raves about. Something about being popular is similar to narcissism or something like that. Popularity has its good points but it can also be a curse. Being well known isn’t all its cracked up to be if you see how some folks live with their own fame.
Were/are you popular in your circle of friends or community?
My Blog, My Posts, What Do You Think?
Are my posts too repetitive, somber, serious? Just wondering if I might be in a content rut? Do you find my blog a little boring at times? Feedback welcome and encouraged.
Daily Prompt: Witty
Witty is about being funny. It’s also about being smart. Having your wits about you. Telling a joke is one form of being witty, something pithy, something intelligent. I think being witty is a way to share the truth that goes down like something sweet and cool. It’s good to be witty in the world we live in.
