Blog Nirvana: Ninjas, Snakes, and World Domination

This was an awesome week to be a blogger! I found so many helpful and entertaining posts this week that I entered three pages of quotes into my journal! Here’s a spattering of a few of my favorites.

I would say that I enjoy the feeling of my pen scratching at the surface, but mine breaks straight through it, digging all the way down to the core of the issues that I’m not afraid to expose.” Matthew Dryden http://www.matthewdryden.ca/2008/11/10/who-the-eff-is-matthew-dryden/

“They have choices. They have leverage. They have freedom. All because Jerry and his wife decided to turn off the CSI reruns and look into diversifying their income streams.” Naomi Dunford http://ittybiz.com/why-were-broke/

“ Just recognizing that I’m not — and don’t have to be — self-sufficient all the time is feeling really weird and vulnerable. So I’m practicing the art of the ask.” Havi Brooks http://www.fluentself.com/blog/update/sigh-of-relief-edition/

“The key is to focus on mistakes, or what not to do, instead of focusing only on what to do.” Brian Clark http://www.copyblogger.com/what-not-to-wear/

“Ninjas are like cockroaches. For every one you see there are a thousand you don’t see. “ Jenny the Bloggess http://thebloggess.com/?p=688

“There are no accidents” Ugway from Kung Fu Panda (I know it’s not from a blog, but it found it’s way into my journal this week.)

“What really prompted me to join Men with Pens were dreams of World Domination. A team that works well together can get far more done than any individual and can do far more than another team that doesn’t work well.” Charlie Pabst http://menwithpens.ca/interview-with-pen-man-3-charlie-pabst-goes-naked

“At the exact moment I achieve internet domination, all of the bad ex-boyfriends are going to show up with the baskets of dirty laundry and the skeletons and everything that I’ve worked so hard for will be snatched from my grip and I’ll be left huddled in the corner of my shower, alone and naked and crying into a bottle of Jack Daniels – and I don’t even like Jack Daniels.” Jessica http://www.loveheylola.com/2008/11/it-could-really-be-any-member-of.html

“So I’m tossing nickels at it but they’re all bouncing off and rolling away and that’s when I realized that I’m standing in the street throwing change at a dead snake like it’s some sort of performing monkey with an accordion. “ Jenny the Blogess http://thebloggess.com/?p=534

And because Matthew Dryden rocked my world with a post that echoes of my favorite writer’s deepest thoughts, go check out The Writers Are Ultra-Violent. But be forewarned, it’s a little graphic and definitely not G Rated. http://www.matthewdryden.ca/2008/11/13/the-writers-are-ultra-violent/
