Expanding Our Horizons

Sorry for the delay since my last post but I have spent the last week totally focused on my role as thespian. I was playing the Roman Guard Gluteus Maximus in the Easter Play at church. In order to feel that I did the role justice I had to remain in character much of the time. Roman guards weren't all that big on blogs.

However, my time on stage has inspired me to finally pick a cause to support. It's the arts....too many people have told me that I am a natural. Plus, I really liked wearing the makeup.

So, to kick off the initial artsy-fartsy edition of this blog I want all comments to be submitted in Haiku form. That's right, 3 lines with 5, 7, and 5 syllables each. To ensure that this blog remains poetic all comments that do not contain a Haiku must be deleted. The gauntlet has been thrown.

Don't say to me, "Nate-
The Haiku idea's lame."
Eat toaster strudel.

Did you know a Haiku is supposed to be about nature or the seasons?!? We have failed miserably!

Eyes sparkling like the bright sun (nature reference)
No I am not gay

Oh Legalism.
You have shown your ugly head.
Haiku snobs abound.

Dear PFFSETH,
According to Webster, Legalism is only 3 syllables. Therefore, your Haiku is not legit. 5 syllables in the first line. Get with the program!

springtime is for birds
(thats right... season AND nature you english teacher wannabe!!!:)

O.K. so Nathan won't post a new blog, that's fine, I'll do it for him! I was thinking yesterday after I heard on the radio that Webster's dictionary introduced some new words. Apparently celebutante, and podcast (the two that I remember) made the cut, and I thought that it would be fun to start new words and act them out in hopes that one day I might see my word grace the pages of a Webster's. My word for today is going to be cross-blogging. It is a verb, and it means to blog on a page that is not belonging to you in the form of a comment. I thought of it after all of the frustration from Nate not blogging enough, and myself running out of Haiku ideas. Sidenote: Betty you truly are the queen! I also had inspiration from Sarah's blog stalking. Apparently she got called out on someone else's page for such actions. If you want more info on that, I'm sure she'll give you the website (however, to truly find out what it is you would have to become one too!) So.... you sign off for today... Nathan, you have been officially cross-blogged!!!!!!!!!

p.s. to make a cross-blog successful, I need other's to comment the cross-blog please!
(and also I realize there were a few typos, sorry, I got a little excited about the idea)

So if you permanently takeover another blogger's site are you a trans-blogger?
