Bloggaday 124 – New Post Up and the Essential Bloggadays

For just about the entire Bloggaday, I’ve included links to all of the sites where you can find my stuff. After each site, I would offer a little something to describe the site. Well, a while ago, I rewrote the little bits that came after, and I kept meaning to post the revised linkage. I never did, but I figured since The Bloggaday is moving into its 2^nd of 3 phases, I would do the changeup now.

A majority of the little things now are based off of songs (something I did with 2 of the old links). I figured I would go through each and give them a little shout out

Exit stage right to my corner of the interweb > \/ (Not music related, but I change it for the new Trigady)

http://twitter.com/daviddysart Plaster Caster Twitter Strutter (From the Kiss song, “Plaster Caster” Nothing special about the song, it just sounded right)

http://daviddysart.tumblr.com/ Hung My Head in a Tumblr (From Sting’s “I Hung My Head.” I love the song and it fit well.)

http://thebloggaday.blogspot.com/ A Little Less Conversation and a Whole Lotta Love (“A little Less Talk” by Toby Keith, “A Little Less Conversation” by Elvis, and Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin. Just mash-up nonsense for this one.)

http://www.facebook.com/thedaviddysart?ref=sgm If I Never See Your Face Again (I thought it clever, from Maroon 5)

Youtube Awesomeness

http://www.youtube.com/user/DavidDysart Still deciding to try to capture it or let it slip (From Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.” Fitted my feeling towards Youtube. I’m not really sure what I’m going to do with it)

For the Piccaday

http://s1000.photobucket.com/albums/af128/daviddysart/Piccaday/ Says I broke it twice, I must have done it half a dozen times (Nickleback’s “Photograph.” Really just because of photobucket and photograph)

http://thepiccaday.blogspot.com/ Because Yesterdays ain’t got nothing on me (A little less quoting, but inspired nonetheless from the Beatle’s “Yesterdays”)

http://www.flickr.com/photos/daviddysart/sets/72157623465996877/ From the nest in the hills chillin’ with Flynt (Lastly, we have Kid Rock’s “Cowboy.” Where can I get some scripts at?)

I think that it’s a rather impressive variety of music used, but that’s just my opinion.

On top of revising the current linkage, I thought I would tack something else on here. As I went through my old Bloggadays to get material for the clipshow, I earmarked some of my favorite Bloggadays. I figured, “Hey, I could point people to these great posts and trick them into thinking that the crappy post they just read was a fluke.

Well, I figured I would add a couple more links and just give them an idea of what I was trying to do with the Bloggaday. Since I’m just adding them and they’re a new feature, I didn’t do any snazzy quotes like I did with the other links.

New to the Bloggaday? These are the essential posts to see

1 The basics (One of the last second adds. I’m still torn if I should include just because of how long the entire thing is)

http://thebloggaday.blogspot.com/2010/02/bloggaday-1.html

3 Get PWND with story content (Another addition, I figured I should link to story content here so people know that I’m looking to post that kind of stuff up)

http://thebloggaday.blogspot.com/2010/02/bloggaday-3-1st-pwnd-edition-ever.html

73 Mash-up of science and relatable humor? It’s just Bloggaday (This was one of my favorites that I set aside, and something that I strive to recreate in future Bloggadays)

http://thebloggaday.blogspot.com/2010/04/bloggaday-73-pwnd-with-side-of-bacon.html

85 Deadpan humor and drama, what more can you want? (Another one of my favorites that I spoke about earlier. I’m sure there will be future Bloggadays like this)

http://thebloggaday.blogspot.com/2010/05/bloggaday-85-my-public-apology-for.html

118 Maybe some practical real world advice drowned in humor. (Another of my favorites here to fool potential readers into reading further posts)

http://thebloggaday.blogspot.com/2010/06/bloggaday-118-my-guide-to-efficiency.html

120 My new favorite segment, the Song of the Week with Tom and Chuck. (Not one of my earmarked favorites, but I really do like the SotW, so I decided to add a link to one of them. Once I write a better one, I’ll replace the link.)

http://thebloggaday.blogspot.com/2010/06/bloggaday-120-sotw-3.html

I realize that my new post-ender is crazy long, but I think I’ll keep it anyways. I suppose it just makes the footnote I put at the bottom of every post* a little bit more special. I’ll change it up in another 120 days when I finish up the second Tigady (1/3^rd of the year-long Bloggaday). Hmm, it’s kind of sad; I went through 120 of these posts and only had like 3 favorites. Does that mean I’m doing something wrong?

At any rate, that’s all in the past. I have no place to go but forward (and at least numerically upward).

Bloggaday 123 – The Clipshow 1.2

“I know most guys would be happy with 13 inches to show off out in public, but what can I say? I’m guilty of avarice.”

From my rambling of a new laptop on Bloggaday 72.

“It elevates bacon to new category of being a non-food, Supplere non Complere.”

Ahh yeah. Bloggaday 73 – PWND with a Side of Bacon – The Law of Special Baconivity. Definitely one of my favorite Bloggadays. You have to read it to comprehend its awesomeness.

“another new thing for me that points towards me being an ol’ somebich.”

From 74, me talking about growing up.

“That damn rat pins me down while the Italian crams food down my throat…

That all leads to post-pizza misery, or PPM for short.”

77 was about my battle with PPM.

“With a little backstory down, I will return to my original thought… after these commercial messages…

Feeling blue?

Feeling depressed?

Feeling like a vacation?

Get Lemon Wacky Hello, as seen on Just Shoot Me!

Just $139.99 per gram in both rock and powder form!”

The frist commercial I’ve done on the Bloggaday. Unfortunately, I didn’t keep the trend up since Bloggaday 80.

“Listening to

Now: Myself Sneeze. Next: The 40 Year Old Boy. Later: Dr. Pfahler and her bag of crazy.”

The first time I’ve quoted the “Listening to” tag coming from 81.

“Bloggaday 83 – Farewell to Longhaired Hippy Days”

Self-explanatory I would like to think. I got a haircut.

“So be lazy all you Mothers, tucked in bed, perhaps some breakfast in there. Maybe you can read a book all you Mothers. Huckleberry Finn is always a good choice. You deserve some candy, you Mother. Suckers are always a great candy, especially when they have those tootsie rolls in them. Maybe you can go see a comedy show tonight, you Mothers. Tucker, Chris Tucker from the Rush Hour fame is a funny guy. Maybe you could have America’s favorite food, you Mothers. Smuckers would probably be my choice of jelly for you guys though. All in all, you just need to rest you Mothers. Bucker down and just get some R&R.”

A paragraph from 84, my Mother’s Day Bloggaday

“Purple garden spades taste lemony 0_o”

Bloggaday 85 was also one of my favorite Bloggadays. Had to bust out my acting chops for it. I had quite a few quotes I wanted to take from it. I ended up just using the last line.

“Bam, instant harem (not Roman, I know) again. That’s just good ol’ Stimulus -> Response conditioning if you ask me. Stroke, whoops, strike one up for the Behaviorists.”

This was another Bloggaday that I really liked and think you should read. Bloggaday 86 – Alexander the Fabulous

“Jeeze. Clm yur sht nd hld on.” He took the phone away from his ear and started tapping buttons and scrolling through pages. “Iknow ths hing hs u lcator… Ha!” he yelped with an eerie lack of emotion. Pulling the cigarette out of his mouth, he continued. “There, I just texted you my location.”

From PWND on 87.

“An excursion that took me across the vast expanses of Redlands.

A journey that tested my abilities.

A quest left unfinished.”

An excerpt from 89, the milk Bloggaday, well one of them

“I'll take "Scholarships" for 1,500, Alex”

I’m still waiting for my scholarships I talked about in Bloggaday 90, a month ago.

“Hmm, now that seems to imply it was something of an accomplishment, a feat if you will. Again, that’s wrong. You should really stop inferring things. It takes too long for me to correct you on your misconceptions.”

From 92, it was a multi-faceted diddy on Naruto.

“At the moment, Sloth is laying the smacketh down on greed. Not only the smacketh down, it’s stomping a hole in greed’s candy ass.

…

Looks like Sloth’s body blows are adding up to a Judge’s Decision.”

From the title fight in Bloggaday 93

“The noise… well music blared in Marcus’s head. His concentration fought the vibrations from turning his brains to mush. He pushed the woman off of him and fought his way though the mass of people that oscillated… well slammed into each other to the music.”

The first paragraph of “A Clash of Neutral” from the PWND Bloggaday 95

“I figured they could make a Costco run and knock that out nice and cheep. Sure, they can toss some other stuff in, just to keep the masses happy, but really, muffins are good, aren’t they? To the demise of my presumed pleasure, that was not the case.

…

Next, Perez also won, which was rather fitting since he is actually retiring after this semester. Kind of makes me feel like I did back when I was rooting for Bret Favre to win the Superbowl and retire out on top. Because yes, sharing Professor of the Year with two other teachers is the exact equivalent of Favre winning the Superbowl. I’m sure Perez as a boy would daydream in his classes of the day when his name would be called, and the presenter would greet him in front of the graduating class with “I’m not hugging you.””

I liked that presumed pleasure line from 96, the one about graduating.

“She was a Veterinarian (how sad is it that I didn’t know how to spell that?)

…

Until next time, peace, chicken.”

An amusing line since it came from 97, the continuation of my graduation description. The second line was actually my signout from The Davidian Cast

“We’ve all been through those moments, the moment when losing a loved one is a very real possibility. This happened to me yesterday. I have to say, sitting there, seeing the wires attached to it, is a very emotional thing. When it doesn’t look good, you try to get second opinions, but things don’t get better when you hear the same news from different people. Then, as they are all tied into the machines, and the computer doesn’t do anything, is just devastating. Seconds tick by as you hope for it to do something, anything… But it never comes. At this point, you have to go online and find any alternative to save that loved one. Then you find something and hold the home and power buttons until it finally boots up.

Yesterday, I had this scare. My iPhone went dark on me…”

From my iPhone scare in 98

“After all, what is the Bloggaday, if not a screwed up tragedy?”

From Bloggaday 100, the one where I foreshadowed this post and described the trimesters of the Bloggaday would each be called a Trigady

“That all boils down to the fact that I have absolutely no idea how “good” of a writer I am. Of course when I say “good,” I could very well mean “crappy.” I’m not sure why I put that last one in “” marks, but I’m too lazy to go back and fix it. Apparently I’ll write 30 words to comment on it, but I won’t push the backspace button a few times and just change it.”

Oh, true words from 101, the education Bloggaday

“The Blog of days gone past shall rise again, and it will walk among the Bloggaday”

The Twitter Tag for 103, talking about the revival of older blog segments and reincorporating them into the Bloggaday.

“I had seen commercials for it, and I figured it would be horribly cheesy and absolutely terrible or it would ridiculously cheesy and actually great.”

My note for Mantracker on the first Performer of the Month Bloggaday, 106.

“so I shouldn’t have to make multiple trips out there for this wave of nonsense… hopefully.”

Me trying to figure out CSUSB for 107.

“3 week build up: check. Self indulgent Bloggaday: check. Twitter pimpin: check”

Talk about a stop-motion video (not this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YRG1jkBd1M) from 108.

“It’s kind of funny. Actually, it’s not funny, but it seemed to be the proper cliché to open this Bloggaday right up.

…

Well, when you find a parking spot 10 till 1:30, you don’t have time for that fancy book shoppin’.

…

“…”

…

“…””

From the rant on 109 about my trip to CSUSB (note: “…” is Mike Schmidt shorthand for “you 4#&%”)

“Plus, it was fun, which is a major selling point for me, since I bore rather easily

…

Exercise by music, kinda like paint by numbers, only on the Bloggaday”

From 110, you get some insight into my mind and my new workout regime.

“It’s something of a badge of honor. Means that I busted my ass… or I had lived such an insanely sedentary lifestyle, I could have gotten this sore cutting a well-done steak. While I prefer to think it’s the former, I suppose in the context of the latter, the former becomes true anyways.

Tune in tomorrow, same Blaggaday page, same Bloggaday time*.

*Subject to change”

A line from 111, part of the workout blogs.

“well I don’t want to question your manhood over the internet… but I guess I kind of am”

This gem comes from the trilogy on 112

“Chuck: It looks like that means an AC/DC song will take the cake this time.

Tom: It’s funny you should use that tired and beaten cliché, Chuck. The SotW is actually an award the band, Cake, has won.”

A line from the first SotW with the appearance of Chuck and Tom. 113

“I won’t go through the rest of my podcasts one by one that I’ve ever listened to since this has been boring enough and I don’t want to take the thunder out of the newest podcast on the Mike Schmidt Podcasting Network, “Podcasting, Cars, and Me with Jay Leno.””

From 114, the podcast Bloggaday

“The man’s head dropped before he turned back to the trio. “You might want to hurry, Mr. Ford. You have the unfortunate luck of owing me the wrong amount of money. He grabbed a handful of scraggly hair and continued into gazeless eyes, “You owe me enough money to physically intervene, but it’s small enough that the message it sends for us to kill you… Well, that does more for our reputation than taking that piss-poor excuse of collateral you put up.” He clinched the hair and sent another blow to the boy’s gut.”

Oh snaps, how will Nathan from Leverage escape from this PWND induced Bloggaday (115 – The Funeral Job)? Find out in a future installment of Post-PWND

“The day after, I was a bit sore, but after walking all day and having to do some running and running up the stairs… oh the stairs… Well, after that, my legs just went to shite.”

Part two of the podcast Bloggadays. Oooo, we’re getting close to the end of the first Trigady. Can you feel the excitement? No? Touch the keyboard; it’ll give you a little shock. Oh yeah, 116

“I have to warn you though, as the description says, it’s uniquely profanierfic

…

Quite the nice coincadink”

From 117, the last podcast Bloggaday, the one about my own podcasts.

“He would wander the hallways, cries of boredom echoing throughout the house.

…

Mine on the other hand? They have been forged in the jaded heat of boredom.

…

I actually increase stimuli and reduce productivity.

…

then yours is a case that not even I can fix. May god have mercy on your soul… as he plays paddleball with it. Come on, how bored does he have to be? Have you seen what happened last time his efficiency went up, and the Egyptians fell? http://www.cryptomundo.com/wp-content/uploads/evolution-platypus.jpg . Yeah, that’s how we got the platypus”

Another one of my favorites, in 118 I describe how to keep yourself from getting bored and how to hone you efficiency to the perfect point.

“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YRG1jkBd1M”

119. That’s all you need to know. Just go to the link and watch the video.

“Tom: Yeah, we have to work on that. Hopefully after a few weeks, we’ll move up and get the old set from those Poetry Wed-Nes-Day pricks.

…

Tom: Idiocy, Chuck!

…

Chuck: Well, I just want to thank all of the viewers who make our little show here possible. Thank you and tune in next week see me and maybe a new co-host.

…

* Tom: Suck it!”

From 120, the second appearance of Tom and Chuck with the Song of the Week

And finally…

“I hopped onto twitter when I had the quake sight pulled up because I wanted to get an update on the closing Scott Sigler Fan Video contest (my entry is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YRG1jkBd1M)”

I love how I can turn a Bloggaday about an earthquake into a plug for my Lego video. Unfortunately, I’m rather disappointed with that particular Bloggaday (121). I ended up changing it late, writing it really late, and I’m just not impressed with the final result. Add that with the fact that it closed out the first Bloggaday Trigady, I’m saddened by it. Well, onward and upward.

Bloggaday 122 – The Clipshow 1.1

And finally, the first Trigady’s clipshow. It looks like I’m going to break it up into two posts though, so here’s the first part. 500 words of original content

“Oh, Bloggaday, you tainted whore of a concept. Every day. One year. 500 words. 17 poor bastards who will randomly stumble upon this.”

I suppose it’s only right to start this special Bloggaday the same way the Bloggaday itself started. That’s the only great stuff from the First Bloggaday though.

“Granted I didn’t see the live action adaptation to my first anime, Dragonball Z, but I just didn’t want to actually watch my childhood be diddled by a white guy in a modern, urban setting, without crazy animal people. And really, if I wanted to sit through an hour and a half of my childhood getting touched in all the wrong places, at least give me a Japanese guy and crazy animal people laughing and pointing while he goes to town.”

I thought I would give that quote from the second Bloggaday without that first clause, but it’s bad enough with it in there. If you don’t know about Dragonball Z, then just stop shaking your head and continue reading. If you are familiar with it, you can continue nodding with that grin, but it’ll probably make reading harder.

A quick intro. He just threw his alarm clock. “They” = hands. “As the sound continued, they clawed at a pillow and tried to push it through his face. As he tried to smother his consciousness, a new pounding offered a syncopated pain to compliment the alarm’s monotonous drone.”

“The pillow offered a tighter seal, but lyrics came through, “Get your ass up, or turn the alarm off! If you make me, I’ll do both with escalating levels of violence.””

That bit of fiction content came from the Bloggaday and the very first PWND.

“Once we left there, we heard about EARTH… RUMBLE… SIX… Then we went to EARTH… RUMBLE… SIX… Then we got good seats to EARTH… RUMBLE… SIX… Then we saw The Boulder at EARTH… RUMBLE… SIX… The Boulder was awesome, even if he did get beat by a buff girl. But guess who beat that girl? I won’t go into details, but let’s just say I walked out of the arena with the belt around my waist.”

A quick jump to Bloggaday 7. It’s a project that I call TheAvatarJourney where I basically turn each episode of a show into a blog and twittering written by the characters of the show. I love doing it but just don’t find the time to do them. This one was Sokka from Avatar, which was the funnest of the characters to do.

“I would give you all examples from my own closet, but I’m lazy. Also, that vain thing. Hay! Sloth and Pride all in one post. I only got wrath in on the first PWND edition (http://thebloggaday.blogspot.com/2010/02/bloggaday-3-1st-pwnd-edition-ever.html) of this bliggity bloggaty. Instead of giving you spoiled random bastards another 350 words, I’ve got some videos streaming that I have to tend to. Ha, Lust. 3 for 1! That’s one of the videos by the way. “

From Bloggaday 8. I talked about the vanity of modern clothing, but got into that tangent of the 7 deadly sins.

“So now the picture is me, huddled in a huge jacket and snow hat, big scarf and all toasty (interesting mental image that I get, since I have none of those things),”

We’re really starting to leapfrog here as that little snidbit was from Bloggaday 12 – SitCom VideHos… or is it HoVids?.

“Ha, stupid leap year. I laugh at you and your stupid orthopedic correctional shoes.”

A line from Bloggaday 15, a bs’ed Bloggaday about how there won’t be anymore bs in the Bloggaday. I’d call myself naïve, but that was the point of the post.

“Ah, another day, another Blogga. But what ever shall I write about? Maybe I should do one about a huge global event. Something that doesn’t happen too often, but is still a huge cultural event, relevant even being thousands of years old. Now, I don’t want to write this piece before it starts. I suppose doing it in the middle wouldn’t be acceptable. I’d probably want to do this a few days after it ends so I could be fashionably late.

So what could I write about? Hey look, I’m already at 100 words. See you tomorrow.”

The entirety of Bloggaday 17, posted a few days after the Olympics ended.

“Limerick

The Farmer in the Lady’s Night

A farmer walked down the foreign street,

But could not see a single stalk of wheat

Sunset, a girl said to him.

Ten gets ya BDSM

But he replied, Cow! Not Bean D’rived Soy Meat!”

The limerick I came up with that inspired my shirt up on zazzle http://www.zazzle.com/drop_the_cow_and_try_bdsm_tshirt-235088587642267940 from Bloggaday 18

“Grammer Nazi-ism after talking about BDSM yesterday? Must be Bloggaday”

Ooo, the twitter tag of Bloggaday 19 is reaching from beyonf the folder grave to get people to read old Bloggadays.

“Hello, My name is Bond James Bond Dysart. No, I’m not trying to be clever. My parents were huge 007 fans, and they actually named me: first name – Bond, middle name – James, second middle name – Bond, and last name – Dysart.

I don’t know, sounds like child cruelty to me. A while back I decided to shorten it and just go by BJ. It’s the damndest thing though; all my friends say I make a great birthday present.”

From Bloggaday 20, which was also the first appearance of the “Listening to” and “Twitter Tag” tags that now close out all of my Bloggadays.

“Street: 4

David: 1

In yo face street.”

Skipping all the way to Bloggaday 42, this quote came from the second of two Bloggadays about the fall I took from the car.

“That’s it for me boys and girls. Until tomorrow, I will say this is Spartaaaaaaaaaaaaa”

The closing line for Bloggaday 46. I did it because Sparta was the 300^th word on the post.

“Come, just do it. ;.-(

See you made emoticon me cry. I hope you’re happy. I bet that makes you feel really big. Good job.

…

Ha! I got you! Emoticon me laughs at you! :-o :-) :-o :-) ha ha! In yo face. You should have just reread it when I asked you to.”

An excerpt from Bloggaday 47, the avatar cosplayer cast. You kind of have to go back and read the Bloggaday and see what was going on.

“As you may have noticed, I’ve been throwing some wicked gang signs in the last couple .5 Piccaday pictures. Well, don’t be ignorant. I’ve been watching Naruto.

…

The .5’er gang signs. Representin. Leaf Side. Four Tribe Life”

Bloggaday 48 described the piccadays surrounding that post where was doing hand signs.

“The words waltzed on the browning paper. Their movements flowed to the score of a spoon’s clacking of Aaron’s emptied cup. The two continued in symphony as his eyes followed the movement. He had long-since been accustomed to this particular piece, and it offered no obstacle.”

Another PWND edition, this time filling my quota for Bloggaday 52.

“Well, /rant. Have a good Saturday.”

Coming from Bloggaday 62, my first Bloggaday rant.

“That is what I actually want to listen to. I’m not much of a racecar fan. My farmer tan ain’t that bad yet.”

From Bloggaday 64, talking about Madhouse and Ax Men

“A Psychologist’s Resume: Involved in One of the Largest Surveys Ever Administered”

Straight from the title of Bloggaday 65. It harolded my employment with the Census Bureau

“As he made his way into the ocean, a storm was brewing, brewing not in the air, where human society could see, but deep in the ocean where not even the mermaids could see. No mermaid except for one, the royal princess of the thousand mermaids that had survived the brutal and unforeseen storm that nearly wiped out them all out in 1997.”

Straight from the absurdity of PWND, Bloggaday 66. You’ll have to read it if you want to make some sense out of it.

“Now, I don’t usually feature too harsh of language on Bloggaday, but I also don’t shy away from it. Given the nature of the movie, I think I am somewhat compelled to spotlight some language that might otherwise be considered impolite and uncivilized.”

From Bloggaday 70, this quote sums up my philosophy on language in the Bloggaday.

“Spoon-fed Analogies are only at the Bloggaday”

Bloggaday 121 – My First Earthquake Break

So last night California had an earthquake. It happened down in San Diego, but since it was almost a 6, I felt it up here towards Los Angeles. But it wasn’t big though, so there wasn’t any reason to freak out or anything. No reason to jump into any doorways or hide beside heavy furniture.

It’s just one of those situations where someone asks, “Did you feel that?” and you stop moving until you do. Inevitably you’ve got to go online and see how big it was. I hopped on http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqscanv/FaultMaps/116-33.html. Then the Tv cuts out to the News who has devotes a half hour to it.

Not only is this breaking news, they also have to get a shot of their lighting equipment slightly rocking due to the quake. Then of course they have to call someone who works for them that lives relatively close to where the earthquake happened.

I don’t know, would people who don’t live in California freak out at a small quake? I guess it wasn’t THAT small if you were down at the Cali-Mexi border, but it was pretty small by the time it got up here. It looks like there were a few smaller earthquakes that followed the bigger one. Don’t recall feeling those ones though.

It is kind of funny. I hopped onto twitter when I had the quake sight pulled up because I wanted to get an update on the closing Scott Sigler Fan Video contest (my entry is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YRG1jkBd1M). After I closed Twitter, I figured I would post a tweet to this effect, but Twitter was over capacity, so I don’t know if a bunch of people had the same idea, but I can’t imagine there are that many people in the area who wanted to tweet about an earthquake. At any rate, it went down for some reason, and it did so for a while.

This Bloggaday is actually rather a changeup. I had written something else, but decided to do this. Given that I have the clipshow tomorrow and the Leverge fic the day after, it will probably be a while before I post it. Well, that’s about it. I did pop this to the end from the would-be post

I know I’ve been a bit long on these Bloggadays lately, so I think I’ll just end this one here. There’s a very long one coming Wednesday. It’s a clip show* and I’m already at 1900 words with only 87 Bloggadays covered. Plus, I think everyone can agree with the sediment.
