Tribal Blogs, Mo Fo’s!

Okay, people. Do you remember how I REALLY wanted to go to that Tribal Blogs Conference? I wanted to go so badly, I even wrote a post about it. But I wasn’t sure if I would be able to pull it off, financially.

Well, that’s all changed!

I’m sure most of you already know that I don’t have a “life” because I never leave my own complex. And, quite frankly, I like it that way. No. I stand corrected. I love it that way. I’m very content within the confines of the four-mile-radius that surround my house.  In fact, some people, such as a ‘Certain Bald Guy’ have even gone so far as to nickname me “Truman Girl” much like the character Jim Carrey played in this movie. The only difference between his character and myself is that he wanted to leave his ‘bubble world’ and I have no desire to do so.

In any event, I was “home” this past Saturday night. And by “home” I really mean I was at “KHCC”. And by “KHCC” I really mean, my local Country Club.  As usual, I set up my “office” in my little corner of the bar area, and I sat down to log into the Tribal Blogs Slumber Party.

Little did I know, there would be an opportunity of a lifetime.

[At least for me.]

I was chatting, and laughing, and commenting, and having a grand ole’ time, when I realized everyone who was at the ‘Slumber Party’ had the chance to win a ticket to the very conference, I’m dying to attend.

Now, I don’t know if it was the full moon, or if the stars were aligned in my favor, or what happened that night. Because I have NEVER won a DAMN thing – in my entire life. Mostly because I don’t take any chances. Nevertheless, I was just happy to be socializing with some of my all time favorite bloggers. I even added a few new blogs to my ‘Daily Reads’ and a few new ‘Facebook Friends’.

At one point, I needed to walk away from the chat in order to take a quick cigarette break. And when I returned, I asked, “What did I miss?”

Well, apparently, I missed a lot.

What did I miss, you ask?

I’ll tell you, what I missed!

I WON.

I FREAKING WON.

I won a mother-effin’ ticket to the Tribal Blogs Conference, Ya’ll!

My long-time-girlfriend Jennifer was with me, and she was more than happy to take live still shot photographs of me, at the exact moment I found out.

So here’s me, “WINNING”  – in Real Time.

And yes, people.

I am STILL shouting with excitement, and I STILL have tears of joy in my eyes!

So…..

It’s official.

* I’m going to the Tribal Blogs Conference. *

Are you?

~ And, have YOU ever WON a contest?

If you’ve ever won, or lost, I’d love to hear about it in the comments!
