My Top 31 Favorite Tweets — *so far

Posted on February 21, 2011 by JennyQ

Every once in a while just the right tweet will hit you at just the right time in just the right way on just the right day. These are the top 31 tweets* which did that to me. Enjoy! (p.s. 31 is just random — these are most of the tweets I have “favorited” since I started tweeting. 31 does, however, remind me of Baskin-Robbins 31 Flavors. Maybe 31 is just a good number)

Self acceptance leads to success, not the other way around.

Is “The Black Mamba” for real?

Posted on February 19, 2011 by JennyQ

I’ll admit. Watching this trailer of “The Black Mamba” left me asking, “Is this a real movie? Or is this a clever marketing campaign by Nike?” OR is it both?

So, then I googled “the black mamba movie” and found this page — from “The Laker’s Nation”

I’m not gonna lie. It still looks like a marketing campaign. Even though it promises a full-length feature film to be streamed live from the facebook fan page. Okay, well, that’s clever enough, no? But I had to do it — I clicked on the facebook fan page — where I am met with a real-looking movie poster stating that in order to watch movie live on February 19th I had to “like” the facebook page. So, I did. I “liked” it. I wasn’t the first one lured in. Evidently I was the 2,325,432nd one to “like” this page. (go ahead, try to speak that number out loud. I double-dog-dare you)

At this point, all I can say is — Nike Basketball — you are freaking brilliant. I don’t like basketball. I’m not a fan of Kobe Bryant. I don’t even wear Nike shoes. But I will probably watch this movie (not that it is real). Well-done.

Dear Blog, It’s Not You, It’s Me

Posted on January 27, 2011 by JennyQ

I know I have been neglecting you. In fact, I’ve been cheating on you a little.

I’ve started another blog. Now, wait. It’s not what you think. I did it FOR you. I did it so I don’t have to keep writing on you about this little venture that I’m really excited about. I wanted to keep you all to myself. I want you to be all about the things I find important, personal, exciting and enlightening.

Please don’t feel bad; and please be patient. I will be able to balance both of you shortly…it’s just, you know how hard all the work that goes into setting up a new blog is…getting it all “just the way you want it.” But look on the bright side…I won’t have to bog you down with YouTube videos of me shopping, or putting pictures on here of things that have nothing to do with you.

What do you mean is the new blog prettier than you? I am so torn. No, it’s not prettier. It’s just….well….different. You know, like how a mother loves each child differently and doesn’t play favorites? It’s like that.

Okay. Fine. ONE peek. Just one.

But after this….not another peep about the other blog. Consider this an “Open Relationship” and if you feel you have to use other outlets for your creative and inventive outlets, I will honor that in you, too.

Guest House

Posted on December 13, 2010 by JennyQ

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitory.

Do you pronate?

Posted on November 15, 2010 by JennyQ

Well. Do you? This is not really as personal of a question as it might sound. And it is quite possible that you are an excessive pronator without even knowing it.

I was shopping online for some shoes and stumbled across this video about pronators; overpronators, underpronators, supinators, normal pronators. There is a simple test you can do at home with items in your own kitchen before you order your running shoes online from Amazon.com in the middle of the night! Saweet! Continue reading →

A Potato Ban. In Idaho. Really?

Posted on October 21, 2010 by JennyQ

Happily sitting here updating my blog (sort of) with the news in the background and I hear, “More on the Potato Ban coming up.”

Really? You know how a dog turns his head while he’s trying to understand what are saying to him? That’s what I am metaphorically doing right now. Continue reading →
