Random Thoughts

Apr 29, 2024 ∞

We’re down to our last couple of days of April, and I was still wracking my brain last night about what topic or theme I should write about for Weblog Posting Month 2024 and …

I had a couple of weird dreams overnight that left an impression on me this morning. Dreams about my time in the military. It was when I was brushing my teeth I had my epiphany moment and thought why don’t I write about those experiences. Not sure how interesting those times might be to others but, still, they were a very important few years in my life were I grew up. And grew up fast.

I figured they may provide either insight, or a moment or two of humour, about who I am (was?) and how I got here. Or not. One thing is for sure, I do have a lot of weird ass stories and others that, well, maybe are just for a moment or two of happy nostalgia. Either way, I’ve finally figured out my theme/topic.

Alex in the military!

Weblog Posting Month

I’ve been looking for another post to write over on my Marginalia micro.blog and then saw over on Michael Burkhardt’s blog that he was thinking of participating in Anne Sturdivant upcoming Weblog Posting Month. And ping, I had an ah-ha moment. Here was my opportunity, I thought, to pick a theme or topic and commit to writing a post a day throughout the month of May.

Of course, the question then becomes, what theme, what topic, and can I sustain said theme or topic for a whole 31 days?

I mean, after all, that’s quite a commitment.

I could be specific and choose:

The Life and Times of Winnie the Pooh
What Alice Said
The natural life cycle of Bugs
Science Fiction Movies of the 50s

Or I could be a little less Mastermind about my choices and concentrate on something else I'm an expert on, My Family and Other Strange Phenomena, a topic of which I could fill several volumes about.

So now, I have a couple of weeks left in which to decide what to write about. Any suggestions?
