Blog Project to End All Blog Projects

I recently (like 3 hours ago) picked up a copy of [Mighty Girl] Maggie Mason’s book “No One Cares What You Had For Lunch” from my local library. Damn, it’s funny. Basically, It’s a book of topics to inspire better blogging. Maybe I’m feeling a little lazy these days and maybe I’m a little too burnt out from work to think of my own topics, but her book got me thinking about how funny it would be to follow all 100 suggestions in sequential order.* Kind of like plowing through a whole book of Mad Libs just for the hell of it.

So dear reader(s), I hereby announce that the next 100 posts will be driven purely by the topic suggestions set forth in this book. It’s not exactly an original concept, but with the millions of bloggers out there, what is these days? At any rate I did a quick Google search on her book and no one out-right states that this is their new blogging adventure, at least no one in hits 1-30 that my ADD addled brain could tell anyway.

Oh, and don’t worry your furrowed little brows, I’ll find a way to keep you all up-to-date on the current status of my garden; because I just know that my plants’ current life or death struggle is keeping you all on the edge of your seats.

Now, if only MightyGirl could help me conquer my problems with grammar and poor use of the english language I could be Queen of the Universe!

*I reserve the right to take the topics out of order just in case I get bored and/or stumped or just decide to jump ship. But I’m kind of excited about it, I’m pretty sure it’ll be fun, maybe even awesome, but I don’t want to get your hopes up too high.

ADDENDUM: Because this book serves as a guideline for bloggers and is meant to be purchased so that the author can benefit from her own success, I won’t be disclosing the actual topic that is outlined (ie, Topic #1: Write something funny you did as a kid, like the time you almost set the house on fire trying to see if a Stridex Pad could put out a match. Remember that? Yeah, that was a blast, people love hearing about that stuff [BTW, her book is written much better than that very sad, fake example]).

You’re all (probably) very smart and can figure it out as you read along that any post starting with a number 1 through 100 corresponds to the topic of the same number in Maggie’s book and therefore don’t need me to spell it all out for you. Those affilliated with Mensa will be able to ascertain from the context of my story what the topic is. For those of you who aren’t as quick to catch on here’s the thing: I’d just hate to be the person that rips off someone’s hard work and publishes it on the web regardless of how truncated I make it. If you’re interested in following along with the topics at hand or just want to do this in your own blog, dudes, buy the book. Or borrow it from a friend or the library. Or maybe see if someone else on the web was insensitive enough to publish the topics… my point is you just ain’t gettin’ ‘em from me.
