🍒R-E-D!!! Plus Bonuses - Get To Know Me & Ten Random Things👀

in #tenrandomthings6 years ago (edited)

2 Challenges Accepted

This past week, I have been tagged by a few people to participate in some challenges. I'm usually up for a good one, and so, here is a combo pack for the ones people suggested I do. My Chi Chi Doll picked me for the #gettoknowme one initiated by @anomadsoul, and I was picked by two aspiring bloggers from the @welcomewagon and long time family PIMP @shadowspub to do the #tenrandomthings challenge. The one who started it, @twodorks, and the friendly @anutu.

10 Random Things

Before we get two deep into this one, I have a couple questions to answer from each of them and then I'll post the rules and my nominations. To @anutu, this is easy bud, I'm going fishing - it's #myhappyplace where I do some of my best and most peaceful thinking. To @twodorks, Time. We obsess over it by keeping track of it down to the second on a daily basis, some more than others, and many have fallen into mundane routines that let the time just slip away.


This challenge doesn't have to do anything with Steemit. Each person who decides to do the challenge will have to say at least 10 facts about yourself! Pretty easy right?! After that you need to ask one question and you have to tag that person to play along! Don't forget to use the hashtag #tenrandomthings so we can find your post!

Here We Go

  1. If I grew my hair out, it would be insanely curly - probably where the Goldilocks come from on my princesses.
  2. I lied to my kids about what happened to the fawn my wife hit with her van. Hate myself for that, but she insisted as to not hurt their feelings.
  3. The smell or taste of blood doubles the efficiency of my senses - like some weird inexplicable superpower. (does that make me a vampire?)
  4. I love the taste of popcorn, but I hate eating it. Got a husk stuck in my gums one time and it was the most painful thing my mouth ever felt.
  5. I believe that if you believe - ANYTHING is possible.
  6. On top of losing a son, I've experienced one stillborn, 5 miscarriages, and 2 abortions.
  7. Outside of finding four-leafed clovers on a regular basis, I've also found several 5, one 6 and even three 7-leafed clovers.
  8. I have 14 pillows and three stuffed animals on my bed - and while writing this - Princess Freya.
  9. At one time, I owned almost a million dollars worth of sports cards - they were stolen. I chalk that one up to karma catching up to me from my youth.
  10. I used to try to fly. I would jump out of my 2 story bedroom window as a kid with various parachutes and wings. Garbage bags, pillow cases, I even made wings out of turkey feathers, sticks and a hot glue gun one time.

Not really sure how to go about this

So what I'm going to do is break down various sections as I feel I am a multi-faceted individual. I have a few niches I can fall into occasionally, but mostly, I'm just me. I like music, photography, discussion, radio, acting, fishing, just so many things, and I share almost all of it. There isn't much you all don't already know about me, I'm an open approachable book. So, see how it goes.

My Very Fyrst

Funny pun there huh? The very first post I made called 'The Future Is Digital' got a whopping six votes, no comments and made 0.20. The vote that I did get, the first one to vote on it, the very first vote I ever got on the blockchain, was from @fyrstikken. I couldn't help but cackle at the irony and figured hey, twenty cents ain't too bad for a first post with no pictures, no markdown or html or even an introduction. He was also the first witness vote I ever gave out. Based on his recent dealings and self-realizations, I may have to revisit that vote. Not sure he even needs my little MVs, but, it'll always have a soft spot for me.

The Music

This will never go away. I will be spittin until my teeth fall out, then maybe even after that. For those that don't know, I even had the top downloaded track on @soundlegion's compilation last year. Was a beauty I made with @arcaneinfo. For those that know how to read between the lines and understand that belief is a powerful thing, I want you to note the timeline of a select few I have chosen to reminisce on and read the lyrics.

Verse

I've published probably just as much poetry and free verse on the blockchain as I have music, however, it didn't get near as much as the attention that the music did. So, I never did much after that. I even got flagged on a few of them because of 'misappropriated tags'. Eat a dirty dick. Dictate what tags I use? C'mon, that's like saying I can't upvote my own comment. So, I picked out a few blasts from the past, hopefully you enjoy them!

#thealliance

The family actually wasn't even introduced on Steemit until after a month of fuckin' around on Facebook with it. And my, how we have evolved and grown! The first post I mentioned #thealliance, nobody even noticed what I had just started. The second one, we picked up one of our most loyal and supporting members - @dmcamera! Been quite a ride so far huh hun? And it just progressed from there. I figured out how to make my posts more presentable, opened up @thealliance account and started the race. I think people really started to grasp in the second alliance post, what it was we were trying to do as we all came together to help @goldenarms get a dolphin-sized delegation. We had some lovely members like @jaynie come and go, still sad about that one. And some that never even took us seriously. But here we are - still.

Becoming a Witness

This was an idea I had tossed around for quite awhile, and really wanted to. I was still very inexperienced with the way everything worked when I did make my bid and honestly, am still learning. But, I love it! I am no where near where I want to be and believe I will be, but steady wins the race. Thank you to everyone that has me on their list of 30, truly. I have several posts from that area, but am only going to put the first and most recent so you can see my progress :)

These Are Random

This is just four of my posts I really enjoyed creating. Lot of passion went into them on some level. So, please do enjoy the ones I have chosen and I hope to see a few new comments maybe :)

My Nominees -

This Post Is Getting LONG

But if you love me, you have read at least most of it and have found yourself down here. You will notice the first part of the title - R-E-D. It's a new 'radio station' you all can tune into run by @eaglespirit and I. We thank @shadowspub for letting us host one trial on The Ramble, and @underground for letting us run a few shows on @minnowbootcamp. This is a server intended to be unaffiliated with any community or groups. Just fun good radio shows. If you have one that you might like to try out, talk to us! Words With Witty will STAY on The Ramble and @ramblingradio, no worries. We are also seeking a streamer that can record and stream the shows for us, anyone interested? Right now, @snook will be doing them, but she won't always be able to - thanks again by the way sis. So, here it is:

R-E-D.jpg

Come Join Us!

Can come to the 'station' by clicking or tapping here. Today, and you'll have to follow @r-e-d to find out show times or pay attention to @eaglespirit or my announcements, but ya, today we have @katrina-ariel coming on for some live musical deliciousness! Maybe we'll get some poetry out, who knows, we're just there to have a good time. This Friday, at 5 p.m. EST/9 p.m. UTC, we will have @lukestokes as our guest witness for the 'Informal Witness Hour'. Be sure to join us, will be exciting!!!

It would be awesome if we could see you in goldilocks hair lolol

Sometimes we have to make up white lies to keep our little ones from getting hurt. But you can correct it later when they’re a bit grown up to understand..

Lol maybe you are a vampire! I can’t stand the smell of it, makes me dizzy! 😅

Even though it gets stuck in between our teeth but we still keep on eating them! My fave ones are coated with caramel! Yikes!!

I couldn't agree more! I do believe in that saying too!!!

Awwww, sorry to hear that @enginewitty, It just means you have a bunch of angels looking after you & your family!!! ❤️

I bet it’s cozy for you every night princess freya!! I hope you can still find your butt with all those pillows around you!! Lolol

Dang it! You could have been a millionaire by now!! Tsk, some people are just crazy! Anyway karma always comes around!

Hahaha, you crazy fool! Well, good thing you are still in one piece!!

Thank you @enginewitty for accepting the challenge!!! I enjoyed so much reading your post!!! 😊

Had a colorful life😎

RED-life. Word

Impressive cv, and I am not qualified to speak to a few parts of the get to know me, it is unfortunate that you have had to go through that.


fun stuff.

The smell or taste of blood doubles the efficiency of my senses - like some weird inexplicable superpower.

How did you discover and confirm this? I know for one I am quite acute at smelling blood, and don't mind the taste of it either, but have not experienced better hearing because of it... Maybe you associate it with danger then get increased alertness and all the good stuff from adrenalin. :) just wondering it is like a super power.

Can you hear that? No. Neither can I quick cut me.

Lmao! Found out hunting as a kid. I accidentally got some blood splattered in my mouth while gutting a deer and like you say, senses heightened. Not sure about taste, but I know my hearing, sight and smell all became much more acute. Maybe it is the danger zone cue. Feeling kind of numb right now.

"Time. We obsess over it by keeping track of it down to the second on a daily basis, some more than others, and many have fallen into mundane routines that let the time just slip away." Never really thought of it that way... Good thinks!

So is RED a place to let your freak flag fly?

Oh ya, nsfw all day😂😎

On top of losing a son, I've experienced one stillborn, 5 miscarriages, and 2 abortions.

This had made me sad. I know what it feels like to lose one. I have had one miscarriage and it hurts sooooo much.. but as i read yours.. i dont know how you did it.. you are far tougher than me!! ❤

Sooo you are a pillow kind of person! That we did not expect.. hehe

They say if you found more than 4 leaf clover, you will be lucky!! Was it true? Hehe

Nicely done sir! Its cool to know you on a new level.. 😉

Posted using Partiko Android

Yes very lucky indeed, look at all the fabulous family we have here!

Posted using Partiko Android

oh yes! super duper lucky! Glad and proud to be a WW Graduate!

Thanks for always supporting us in every way.

Only wish i could do more sweets😎

Posted using Partiko Android

You have done more than enough already.. 😉

Posted using Partiko Android

Well, I think stuffed toy animals, hordes of cushions and a very slight affinity towards vampirism ... this seems not to be the only aspects we have in common ... I think I would love to go fishing with you and sit just there silently - in case the net is killed :)

I catch enough to feed us, no worries😋

Posted using Partiko Android

So cool! There seems to be always something positive coming with bad situations ...

Believe that's called finding the silver lining😉

Posted using Partiko Android

Had to look the expression up in my dictionary ... YES, that's what it's called! <3

Some interesting facts my friend. Some funny some very sad but that's life. But I must say as most may have, before technology, had a pretty interesting childhood, and how we survived is amazing lol... cool story bro, be well

Posted using Partiko Android

Holy cows right? Beat the crap out of myself man! Don't know how many times i crashed my bike with no helmet and wrecked dirtbikes without helmets😂

Posted using Partiko Android

Hahahahhahah you arr so funny with this

The smell or taste of blood doubles the efficiency of my senses - like some weird inexplicable superpower. (does that make me a vampire?)

I love your style of introducing yourself and it was fun all the way. Weldone and keep up the good work.

I am @oredebby

Thanks hun! Glad you enjoyed it🤗

Reading this made me feel like I was getting a hug from you. I love how these challenges just open people up, waiting for the right connections. It's really mind-blowing... looking back over the months... and realizing when and how friendships were formed!

and - funny - fyrstykken was my first upvote too. LOLOL I asked him about that one time - he said - he did that for everyone. I said - oh - well.. now i don't feel so special anymore. he said why? you did before you knew. LOLOL

and i agree with twodorks... lots of little ones waiting for hugs from their Daddy!

love you, my Witty

Love you too my Booty Cap'n, and now I seriously feel totally not special anymore lol! Not because of you, you make me feel like an MVP! But the fyrst vote, now, guess that's his thing😏

Thanks for stopping in sweetness. 😘🤗🤗😎

Posted using Partiko Android

Wow. So much you have going on there!! And 14 pillows!! Do you still fit on that bed too? 😄

On a serious note. I am so sorry that you lost so many children. No wonder you cherish your princesses so much!

Thanks for seeing that😎

Posted using Partiko Android

Of course the post is long, you have been here for ages and are doing so much. Steemit is lucky to have you honey 💚

Just as lucky to have you as a friend sweetness.

Wait...you tried to jump out of windows with garbage bags as a parachute! That's kind of awesome and scary at the same time. Kind of in the same league of buying 100 helium balloons in the hope you will float up into the sky - and then when you do wondering how to get back down again!

This #gettoknowme challenge sounds fun, I always wanted to be in the Ghetto lol. I might just about have time to do it before the next show.

Bwahahahahaha! Welcome to the hood home slice🤣

Thank you for accepting the challenge @enginewitty.. I'm so glad you did, it's been awesome going through all of your posts, and who knew you were quite the rapper!! I loved watching the videos, I'm still reading through all of the poems but I am enjoying taking a look back. And thanks for showing me you guys dressed up in sugar skull makeup... y'all looked fabulous!!

Love the sugar skulls hey, I could totally be Spanish or Mexican. Mexico is the center of the universe isn't it🤣

This is an epic post, @enginewitty! I really enjoyed reading about you and all your involvements. One of your #tenrandomthings was... startling. I'm sorry for your past losses. And I'm amazed at your strength, sense of humor, enormous involvement in community, and leadership. None of us gets through this life unscathed, but those who rise above the tough stuff and carry on, demonstrate to the rest of the world that we don't have to be about our trials. They can make us stronger, better, more compassionate, and certainly more able to shoulder burdens without crumpling beneath their weight.

Lots to read here! I'm bookmarking this post so I can peruse all the goodies. It's like a treasure chest! My time for Steemit and Discord are limited due to a more than full-time work schedule, so I'm always looking for ways to focus when I am here. :-)

Wow, thanks for coming by sweets, means a lot. I saw you are going to Krakow? Should be fun. Unscathed is true a word as can be used for most of us. Admitting and embracing is not as easy. Sometimes I think if I was a minute here or second later then, everything would be different, but then again, I wouldn't be who I was. So by that right, I have to be thankful.

Yes, and there is great but only marginally useful power in hindsight. We can never ever change the past. We can only live for now and the future.
