On Books, On DTD, And, On Snow

320_7991416 Blog Post Book 320_7991416

My very dear friend Dana, who some of you know as ‘Random Chick’ self-published her first book entitled, Stupid Poetry, Volume One.

Now, I am the first to admit, I could never write a poem [even if my very life depended on it] so it’s no surprise that I am in awe of her talent. However, after reading the book cover to cover, I was left wondering why she titled the book Stupid Poetry?

Funny? YES! Stupid? NO!

Seriously people, I found myself laughing out loud. A lot. Some of my favorites included her ‘Ode To Toilet Paper’, and the ‘Ode To Dirty Laundry.’ Dana has a gift for turning the mundane-every-day-bullshit into hilarious-limericks.

And therefore, I am going to suggest to all of you, my dear readers, to pick up your own copy of Stupid Poetry, Volume One simply by clicking here, or here!

*Have a good read, and a great laugh for the measly price of $6.00. I promise it just might be the best $6.00 you’ve ever spent!

2. On ‘Doing Things Differently’ Otherwise Know As D.T.D.

I am happy to announce ‘Week Two’ of ‘Doing Things Differently’ has been going just as well [if not better than] ‘Week One.’

Hopefully I will have the time to write a follow up post this Saturday MONDAY – with the specific details regarding this week’s DTD Adventures.

3. On Snow

It’s enough already.

Please.

Stop.

  5. I went to check out the book and she sold me with the line that these are poems to read while drunk! I just bought a copy and can't wait to read it! Thanks for suggesting it, Meleah! Glad to hear the DTD is going well and as far as this snow, “let it stop, let it stop, let it stop!”

  6. it will be posted on SATURDAY!

  7. How the HELL do YOU deal with all of this snow – all of the time?
    I am NOT a fan!

    First, congrats to Dana for publishing her book! It really sounds fabulous! LOVE the book cover. I will definitely check it out.

    Great to hear about your DTD! Go, girl!

    And yes…it's snowing like crazy here in Philly too! However (and I know that I'm sick for saying this) but I love it.

    Chillingly,
    The Penguin

  10. “Chillingly, The Penguin” ahahhahahahahahah!

    It's coming down LIKE crazy! but I still walked around the block, three times in a row, for the third day in a row, for the second week in a row!

    We're in the same boat then, cos I can't write a single word that rhymes even if my life depended about it … LOL!

  12. may466krm says:

  13. She rocks. You can order it from the two links that are in this post, and the links on her FB page!
    Wait, I just emailed you the link on FB! Check your email.

    LOVE the title of this post! We must have been on the same wavelength today!

    That book sounds like fun! I may have to buy one. Glad to hear that DTD continues to go well. Keep it up, girl!

  18. Selma says:

    I have to buy that book because I am a big fan of Random Chick. She regularly cracks me up. Glad the DTD is going well!

  19. Gina says:

    Ok, I just bought the book, Stupid Poetry, Volume I. I can't wait to get it.

  20. agg79 says:

    I'm normally not big on poetry. I guess I am more of a limerick kind of guy:

    There once was a man from Algiers
    Who tried growing corn in his ears
    When the temperature rose
    He leapt to his toes
    Now popping is all that he hears.

    (that's one of the few clean ones I know)

    Glad to hear that you are keeping up the DTD. And don't let the snow get you down. You could be living in Alaska.

    DTD Adventures?

    I did a similar thing in college, but it was called 'STD Adventures.'

    Did you know that penicillin stops working after a while?

  22. this snow is KILLING me! but, its NOT stopping me!

  23. AHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHahhahahahahahhaahahah

  24. Random Chick says:

    Okay, now I'm getting nervous that people are actually buying the book…SH*%! Everyone, make SURE you are drunk when you read it! 😉

  25. Will the update be in the third person? That was a lot of fun. I checked out the book, they tell me I need to spend 19.02 in order to get free shipping. I guess I have to go shopping now. Thanks.

  26. Oh sweety! They are gunna love it just as much as I did!!! Don't
    listen to that negative voice in your head!!!

  27. Yes. I am writing the update in the 3rd person again!
    Ahahhahahaahaha

    Um. Wait.

    You need to spend 19.02 in order to get free shipping? That CAN'T be right!

  28. Hi! Poetry was never my cup of tea until the greys hairs in my head started to appear! From time to time I'll let one out and with Valentine's Day coming up I'll let one rip again! As for snow, sadly I've never been a witness to its falling.

  29. Well, if I could I would send the snow that's falling over here to YOUR front door!
    And the only gray hairs I have? Are chin hairs!

  30. Steph says:

    I love that your friend wrote that book. The entire concept is priceless!

    How wonderful that week 2 was even better than week 1on the DTD front!

    …and don't even get me started on the snow…

  31. Thanks Steph!!
    xoxoxoxoox

  32. Ms.Terri says:

    I'm BAAAACk to the blogworld! Anyway, I think I'm gonna try me some of that DTD you speak of. Ya know, this could be a “thing,” like the whole “Day Zero” thing. I propose you make a DTD blog, post it as a facebook fan group thingie and get InterwebFAMOUS!

  33. Ms.Terri says:

    On, and for the record, I've heard it takes three to six weeks to develop a new habit, so that's how long it will be until it becomes DTTS.

  34. YAY! You're back! FINALLY!
    Hmm… I really LIKE the FB DTD Idea!

  35. Ms. Freeman says:

    SNOW!!!! Let me tell you about SNOW!!!! We got over a foot of snow way out here in Texas, yup America's South West is covered in the white stuff. Can I say, I am tickled pink (well not so much pink) the I only have to walk across the hall to my home office to work….wooohoooo! 🙂

  36. Ms.Terri says:

    DOOOOIIIIIT!!! You'd need parameters (look at me, giving all this unsolicited advice) like choose a certain number of things you'd do differently, then blog or post about it or something. Then, when you're featured on the Today Show I could say “I knew her back when we…well…I don't *know* her…but…uh…well…yeah.”

  37. This is right up my alley…thanks for sharing M!

  38. slyde says:

    im with ya on the snow.

    i cant take it anymore.

    seriously, i give.

  39. Ahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahha.
    I love your unsolicited advice!

  40. Working from home = RULES

  41. BK says:

    I have attempted to write poem before but it never turned out well. 🙂

    It really seems like a good book to have.

    Good to hear that your DTD has been going on well if not better than the first week. Have a great weekend.

  42. Teeni says:

    Oh, that sounds funny. I bet it would make a great gift book too! 🙂

  43. AngryMan says:

    Has your home been messed up by the snow at all? We lost part of the gutter on our garage.

  44. I hope you have a great weekend too!
