200TH LUKEWARM POST!

Let's see now - what am I yet to feel lukewarm about around these parts... hmm...
Well - everybody needs a battle plan to know where they are an, most importantly of all, where they want be in the short term rather than the long term (although that one too, of course!) - hence, let's try and make a list of the two hundred or so topics YET TO COME... shall we!

And let's proceed about this IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER (thanks to an unwitting partner - linked further below...!)

I can readily say that I am apt to feel altogether lukewarm about virutally all of these subjects here! By the same token, and certainly quite paradoxically too, I'd blog about any of them on a dare - from anyone! Isn't that something now...! Heck, if it isn't yet for some of you skeptics out there, I'd even add that I'd write a serious journalistic piece about any of these subjects - IF PAID TO DO SO, YEAH!
;)

Now, if I am feeling lukewarm about all of these odd activities, you don't have to feel likewise, of course not... It is a free world (alas) and so you can feel free to veer towards the source of this list - right here - and check up on any of these things... except the vile one that I abhor so! Which one is it again, folks? Hmm? Let's see if you're paying attention back there...! Which one? That is right: black magic! Harry Potter is hogwash from Hogswart - that's right too! And hellfire and brimstone awaits the idiots who want to imitate him (a silly fictional piece of crap that J.K. Rowling didn't even create but pieced together from all previous existing silly characters of the same ilk - a "good sorceror" - what a dumb oxymoron! One cannot be GOOD if one's craft is aimed specifically at COMMITTING EVIL through evil empowerment! THINK, PEOPLE, THINK!!!)
Sheesh...!

Well, GREAT - we definitely found which one of these "activities" I may not feel lukewarm about - but am definitely adverse to!

All in all, not a wasted blog post today - eh?

;)
