For my Manic Monday post on the topic of ghost, I decided to take a slightly less conventional ghost route and post a video from one of Amanda's favorite bands, My Chemical Romance. The Ghost of You is a song about loss and, in my own humble opinion, one of my MCR's best. I lamented that there were a good number of former MCR fans who didn't feel the same way, though, and instead felt that somehow the band had "sold out" by having the nerve to record a commercially successful song. As an explanation for that ...

I have to admit I knew nothing of this band. I loved the song and video! You've got great taste in music. As far as the sell out thing goes, it happens to almost every band. I think a lot of people think they sound hip when they say, "I loved them till they got commercial..." In other words, no one wants to share their band...
Monday evening I did a second post - you can usually tell the days I don't have to work by the number of posts I put up! I've Been Awarded and Tagged! gave me the chance to share more useless facts about myself that I know you've all been chomping at the bit to learn - like the fact that my middle name is Jean and I'm not real keen on it.

My middle name is Hazel... Jean sounds pretty good.
But I've never broken a bone either and I have terrible handwriting. - Okay, Marilyn, you're right - maybe Jean isn't so bad after all! And like I said to another commenter, it could be worse, I could have one of my grandmother's names for a middle name and I like Fanny and Hilda even less than Jean! I'm definitely counting my blessings on that one!

you did a great job!!
looks like the photo was taken when the building was in its prime
love the effect - I'm going to take that to mean I accomplished what I was hoping with the aging effect! Thanks, Dianne! I think I also managed to get the 'creepy' factor across as almost all comments agreed with that aspect of the picture!

Congratulation on the award:-) Isn't it wonderful knowing that you are so loved? hehe Blogging has become such a huge part of my life and the friendships I've made are amazing...don't know what I'd do without all of you:-) xoxo
- By the by, PEA throws some fantastic parties over on her blog and I was honored to be included in her recent Halloween Bash! I don't know what was better - the band or the snacks! Thanks again, PEA - I'm available for Christmas parties, too!

Awesome! I love your history field trips. We get excited out here if we spot a tombstone over 100 years old.
Funny, I live right across the street from a cemetery. Now I'm hankering to go at dusk at take some photos. I know so many of those in residence that it will feel very strange......
~~~Blessings~~~ - If you do get out there, Gracie, then I expect to see some pictures over on your blog whether they're residents you know or not! If you do know them, that might make it even more interesting!

I particularly took Halloween off so that I could sit on the front porch with my 3 peas in a pod and give candy to the kids. I'm looking forward to it.
Today the high is 77, low 59 so I'm hopeful it'll be just right for some family fun......and a little teaching that tis better to give than to receive! - What a great idea and the two little hooligans and lone hooliganette were all dressed in matching pea costumes that were just adorable - if you don't believe me, head off to My Wonderful Life and see for yourself! I guarantee you'll see cute - lots and lots of cute!

Mmmm.... I could go for a Baby Ruth about now...
- I could, too, Mo but no Baby Ruths for me this year ... sigh ... one sounds good right now, come to think of it!

I think that is the BEST home made costume I have EVER seen, hands down.

Thoroughly expressive and creative, but of course we expect nothing less from Amanda!

I do not want to run into her in the dark. EEEK!
- And one very good point ...
- Sarge Charlie said...
-
ouch.....how do you clean that off?
- With a lot of hot and soapy water, Sarge, that's how! As for the clothes, though, I think they're a total loss but that's why they came from the local Goodwill store!

"Hey! Is this the audition queue for 'The Birds' remake?"

"Just double the sales tax and round up for the tip so we can get out of here. I got an afternoon thing on Hwy 17."
- A big thank you to everyone for playing along with the captions (I'll have to do that again sometime!) as well as being kind enough to visit this week and leave me a comment or two! It goes without saying that all comments are appreciated but I don't mind saying it again - thank you!! Now go enjoy that extra hour if you happen to live in an area that got it!
Having been away all week I have so many posts/blogs to catch up - this post was a great way of catching up with what you've been up to Linda, thanks. x
ReplyDeletei love it when you do this!
ReplyDeletesmiles, bee

This is only the second time I've caught your roundup post. I will make sure to make it a Sunday ritual - it's so good :)
ReplyDeleteI did mean you acheived the aging effect!! The best photo editing is when it looks like there was no editing :) and that's what you did!!
Happy Sunday
I agree with Dianne. A caption competition ought to be a weekly event.
ReplyDeleteI loved the caption thang as well. You are correct, Travis' caption was laugh out loud funny...
ReplyDeleteI love your Comment on the Comments feature. Your readers are a creative and funny bunch.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, I made your list!! lol You know, I hear a lot of bloggers say that comments don't mean everything but I do think they are a huge part of blogging. I mean, how boring would it be to make post after post and not get any comments?? To me it's like friends coming over to share my day:-)
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...I guess I have a Christmas Blog Party to plan now eh? lol xoxo
Comments rock!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked my caption too!
gee thanks! I'm honored to have made your comments on comments post!
ReplyDeleteit was 80 degrees and fabulous!
There was one little guy we totally confused though! Sonshine and Gator each put candy in his bag...then he came up to me holding the bowl, took a piece out and gave it to Sonshine!!
IT'S CONTAGIOUS!!
He got back in the car and yelled down the street to his mom what'd happened "And I gave HIM ONE TOOO MOM!!!!"
aaaahhhhh, just makes you smile to the core.
Comments do rock. And I love this comments on comments feature Linda.
ReplyDeleteGreat comments on comments, Linda! And funny captions! :)
