This is an announcement all new posts are followed after this one!

 I snapped this picture one night right after sunshine went to sleep. If she knew about this she would have a cow. We have a toy box in the den filled with nothing but stuffed animals. For some reason Sparky loves this pink bunny. This bunny can be anywhere and he would follow it. I think he looks absolutely sweet in this picture. Of course when he wakes, he wreaks havoc on the place but jumping on furniture batting sunshine’s toys all round just going plan insane.

Just thought you might like the picture!

I don’t really like going to the home improvement stores but I do like perusing through the bathroom section and I like to imagine my dream bathroom. The floor will be covered in green and white ceramic tiles. I would have a jacuzzi tub and a stand alone shower. I would have a large double sink set inside in a cabinet with enough counter space around for all of our goodies.  My bathroom faucets would be made from stainless steel. Finally, the throne of thrones will be a water saver toilet. I don’t know with a bathroom as nice as that I would never leave the bathroom, good thing I have a laptop.

I am very confident in my skills with html plus I can read some of the books I have. Last night, I went onto Verizon and started working on my website for Dragonfly Poetry. It is far from being ready. I hate all the templates they just don’t fit. I found one with a nature type of scene but that isn’t working for me. So itt iis back to the drawing board for me. I am thinking about not using a template and just creating page after page by hand so I can add what. I think there is an option for that. I really hope so. I may not be a great designer but I am not horrible anyway. I want to design something that is simple with simple graphics because what is important are the words. Not as much as the website.  Yeah I know it is important. I have got plenty of time to play around with it and I am not rushing it all.

I have a love hate relationship with coding but it has improved over the years.  I have figured out some advertising one way is Google ads since I already have an account all I have to do is load money as little as 10 bucks it might not give me to many impressions but it is a start.  Another way is through Social Spark through sparks and this will work mostly by trading. Someone writes about Dragonfly and then I write about them. I like this method because it is free. Another way is make a paid opp with the money I have already made from Social Spark since there is only one account. I have been thinking of another non traditional way  by giving away poems in exchange for a blog post  and links to a person’s blog.  That is further down the road though. I think, I still might have a credit from Go Daddy from MSN available,  I will have to look into that.

Don’t forget to enter the contest first prize is $15 cash. Woo Hoo!!

Dear Coca-Cola,

I love your product, I always choose you over that other company you know the one that starts with the letter P. Though your fizzy soda makes me feel glad I think that maybe you need to touch a younger more plugged in generation. Everyone knows kids can run circles around their parents when it comes to the internet. Many teenagers have joined social networking sites such as myspace and other places. You know what I see a lot of ads for? Pepsi or products of Pepsi. You know how it goes some 14 year-old goes to their favorite store and just grab a Pepsi because it is on the top of their mind.

I have a great way for you to reach the younger generation. Get them where they are, online. There is great service called social Spark. What is Social Spark, very simply it is where bloggers and advertisers unite in a working relationship. Let’s say you come and purchase blog posts and add in some keywords like Drink Coke or if you have a special promotion going let the online community know about it. In Social Spark bloggers are ranked on traffic, and page loads to their blog. This is ideal because you want the most people to see your message with the least amount of cost (this can be a lot cheaper than television ads). You can also narrow bloggers down to only parents or young people what ever demographic your are looking to see your message.

I really hope that Coca-Cola will join the SocialSpark.com community where there are anxious bloggers(like myself) waiting to write for you. Then when that 14-year-old goes to the store now they are thinking how an ice cold Coke will quench their thirst.

Sincerely, J Scott Coke Lover since forever

Maybe I don’t get all of the art world but I like what I like. Now the most I ever did with ceramics was go to the studio in State College and paint myself a might fine oil candle holder. Wow, of course it wasn’t that great. I am a little envious of people who can create something wonderful with ceramics.

While browsing through Social Spark, I cam across a blog of a woman who designs ceramics. These pieces are really amazing and creative.
One of my favorite peices is the fire vase. It is very unique and I wouldn’t personally think to make a vase look like fire but it works well.

If you are looking for some handmade artisan work then look no further than Sybil Amber’s Site!

Have a nice day!

Well it is that time of year again and people are considering where to go on vacation. Then they drive to the gas station and unleaded has shot up to $4.00 a gallon. But such and such person only saved x amount of dollars with increased gas prices they might not be able to go away on vacation.

Unless you decide that Personal Loans are the way to go. With personaloansmania.com you can apply for a loan in seconds on a secure server and they finance persons with good or bad credit.  If you need a little extra, don’t cancel your plans but increase your funs just enough to still go.

Happy traveling!

Hello all, I would like to start today by stating IE 7 is horrible. I just tried to reply to some comments and I keep getting these errors. They know about it but they can’t fix it. I guess I will have to start using my computer for that since I use firefox. Sunshine is playing on it right now.

Second, remember what I said about the elusive post 1000 well that is 78 posts away and I will be holding a contest! I do not want to divulge too much until I have all the details worked out but it will be easy to enter, random drawing and did I mention cash was going to be prize, plus entrecard credits or blog explosion, and a third prize yet to be determined. So keep checking in I am going to try and work on it tonight.  The winners will be announced on post 1000.  I have to have  the contest up and running and finshed before this happens I really need to get cracking.

I am a little nervous about holding a contest but it will be nothing big.  Tune in next time for more fun and excitement.

This is something the boyfriend is very interested in. I don’t know how many people’s computers he has fixed over the years. He has installed hardware upgraded computers and all sorts of other things. Having computer knowledge really can save money as well. 

 He is always on the look out for parts to use, eventually he would like have enough parts to build a computer. Of course father’s day is coming up and maybe to make it easy on him, I should just purchase a do it yourself kit from Easy My PC.  A company specializing in selling barebones computers and can be put together in a matter of hours.

Check it yourself if you know someone who is interested in learning more about computers and building one for themsleves.

When the rain sift through chunky gray
filtering to hungry soil,
Looking to the sky
the fresh maples and skinny saplings
embrace.
The Clarity of Water.

Desires deep in the night
sinking into mud
No way out
only orbits around a small sun.
Powers of lusty warmth
superceding lonliness
from the rusty pail adjacent to
broken down.
House of Hopes.

Done is the day.
New clouds of black roll over the paper moon
draped in lilacs and rhoddedron
Stars slip away.
Darkness Descends.
Done is the day.

Mosiac of light
broken by nothing
peices of sun fall like comets in August
alive and flora filled days.

Dreams carried away on wings of the raven.

Colors of life flood the senses
But.
in the corners
in the ground.
The Abyss Beckons.

When shells from depths of the churning ocean
displayed on feathery sand
memories gone.
Dreams of Solace.

Finally,
the world stops- still and lifeless
Movement in Mind’s Eye Looking to the Sky for Direction.
