Mowed Moths

Queue the drum roll everybody! I got my lawnmower back again.... AND IT WORKS! My lawn is now trimmed short and neat.

So, does anyone know what this type of a moth is:



Also, I thought I would show you an early sunflower. I love when they pop put of their seeds and then push the seed up through the fertile earth.

Earthly Swallows

Okay - hopefully this is my last title change. Shallow Thoughts is being used too much around the Web now-a-days.

So tried to think of something random, yet catchy.

(As most of these posts strive to be.)

Shallow Thoughts

I'm not a very decisive person, can you tell?

Shallow Thoughts is now about everything that is really nothing. That's why it is Shallow, AND Random at the same time. But as pointed out to me, Shallow Thoughts sounds better.

New Title: Shallow Thoughts!

Okay - title change... AGAIN.

Yes, it is the very same day that I changed the title of my Blog. Even though I see Movie Clichés, or think of them on a regular basis, I never searched the Web for them. It came to mind that perhaps there are already websites that discuss this topic. Guess what? There are. And they are way more in depth then my pitiful attempt at starting one like it.

Must come up with NEW topic!!

Any ideas? For now, the new title is: Random Thoughts

(Kind of Like Deep Thoughts, except not as deep. But Shallow Thoughts sounded too... well, shallow.)

Keys under the Visor

This is my first posting for a Movie Cliché! You know when the antagonist, proponent, good guy or bad guy, however you want to word it, needs a new ride? He reaches down to turn the key. *GASP!* No key left in the ignition? What now?? Ah ha! After searching around the glove compartment, the armrest compartment, he pulls down the visor on the windshield. Voila! A set of keys falls into his lap, and they just happen to be the keys to the car.

What do you know? The engine cranks, and away our hero, or anti-hero, goes.

Name Change

For those of you who read my Blog before today, knew this as Blog O' Jonk. Yeah - stupid title. Who would dream of reading a blog with a bad title? When there's no good cover to look at, you have to decide based on the title or if the author is already well-known and published, then the title might not matter. I am not a well-published author, and no one can see a colorful cover when choosing to click on a link to this blog, so I need a GREAT title. One that is amusing perhaps, but relevant? I don't know. I still don't quite know what the main topic of this blog will be, but I was thinking on Movie Clichés. You know, those things that always only happen in movies, no matter how stupid it might be in a realistic sense. Or not even stupid, but just always happens in the movies.

Anyway, note the new title while eating an english muffin and drinking some coffee. Or perhaps snacking on some fish and chips. Are you in a café? Are you in your basement in your underwear? Doesn't matter to me!

[Movie Clichés and News of No Importance] <---- That WAS the title when this post was first submitted. HA! Lasted an hour or so...

Comments

I'm disappointed. I have no comments on my blog. *Sniff* Guess I'm just not important enough! I better start thinking of something important to blog about that millions of users will want to read about.

No Idea

No Idea. Yes, I have no idea what to add today, but I wanted to add something. Can't just have a blog sitting around not doing anything!

By the way - you'd think mowing the lawn would be something simple to do, correct? Well, it's not. Especially when you don't have a lawn mower that works correctly. My lawn is bumpy, hilly, and large. No, I don't know HOW large, I just know it's greater than an acre, and less than 5 acres.

So, tough on the lawnmower, and tough on the mowee. Mowee? Strange word that has no meaning in the real world.

I never thought I would have such a hard time mowing my lawn this summer season. It took over 3 weeks to get my mower worked on when it didn't work to begin with, and now it STILL doesn't work. Vibrates like a giant, mutated hummingbird. So, I need to get it fixed again. Or rather fixed right the first time which hasn't been done yet.

Okay, so I guess I did have an idea on what to write. Just took some time getting to the page.

Ciao.

Garden Varmints

Yes, we had our first experience with some varmint in our garden. I was at work when my wife frantically instant messaged me. I could tell she was practically hyper-ventilating just by reading her words. She told me her garden had been destroyed. We had no sunflowers, pumpkins or squash. She couldn't tell what it was that had eaten the plants, just that it was furry, had a tail and ran on 4 legs. Well, I tried to calm her down and told her I would put up that fence we both now knew we needed to erect earlier.

I came home and saw the damage my wife was talking about. I don't think I would have reacted quite the same way. All our sunflowers were still standing, just had most of the top leaves missing. Same with the pumpkins and one of our squash plants. I would think that since they are still root bound that we should be fine. I dunno - I'm not a gardener, so I guess I may be telling my wife she was right later on.

I took some fallen 2 - 4 inch in diameter trees and sawed them to be about 5 1/2 feet long. Dug post holes around the garden perimeter and put up a green plastic coated wire fence that is 4 feet high. I didn't dig it down into the ground like I should have for woodchucks, so I guess we'll have to cross that bridge later.

Two days have almost passed since the varmint ate our veggies. Fence seems to be working so far! All I need to do now is finish my scarecrow to keep the birds away.

What should I blog about?

Why have a blog if you don't have anything to say? Who really cares, and who really reads these things? I hear Curt Schilling from the Boston Red Sox has a blog. I've never read it, but I guess people do. Now, if Ozzy Osbourne had a blog, and I knew 100% that he wrote on it - THAT might be a blog I would read. Probably get a laugh or two out of it at least.

Audio Books

Are Audio Books for those who want to do whatever else at the same time and then say they read that book? When, in reality, someone else read it, you just heard what they read? And how much do you get out of it, if you are listening to an Audio Book while doing something else? Hmmm...
