Blog Hops!

Today's pondering with a purpose theme is blog hops and why do I participate in them. Well.... the reason I started to participate in them was because I wanted to branch out to other people, to see if I could get more followers and comments on my posts. I had only about 8 followers before I started hoping and now I have 27, most of them are from various blog hops that I usually participate in. Blog hoping has given me a wider audience and has introduced me to some interesting people, like Brenda for example, hee hee!
I really enjoy reading their posts and their comments on my posts, it's fun to see what people think about your point of view on things, that's why I started the blog in the first place. I needed a audience and blog hoping has given it to me, I feel like i'm in a community we all participate in the same hops. People from different places of the world and backgrounds all coming together to write about a certain subject or, thing. I've really enjoyed that aspect of it. 
There are some things about blog hops that can get annoying like trying to read too many people's blog posts can be time consuming and I would like to participate in more blog hops but, I sometimes just don't fell like spending all day reading other people's blogs. Sometimes I prefer to blog hop the natural way going from one blog to the other, just clicking next blog after next blog, I met my first blogger that way and from her I found out about other blog meme's or, hops and found other bloggers and hops to participate in. It's been a fun ride, there have been some ups and downs but, for the most part I've enjoyed it.

    Enjoyed reading why you like participating in blog hops, Joseph. There are so many out there too; one can spend so much time participating in them all. I like 6WS when I'm doing one; its always fun to read how people sum up things in six words. But you are right; it is a great way to get to reach out and find other blogs!

      Ya 6WS is one of my favorite hops to do, I always find it fun and challenging to come up with a title that has only 6 words. : )

Toy Cars And a New Computer!

Image
Look at all of my toy cars! I was just organizing them before I put them into a different box, but I had to move them a little early to make some roof for my new computer! So back into the box they went! I've always wanted to arrange my toy cars like this since I was a kid, when I would see them arranged like this in toy car collector magazines and books, I thought it looked pretty cool. Anyway I had to get a new computer because my laptop's screen finally went out and it was becoming slow. It would sometimes take couple of minutes to load a webpage, so I knew I had to get a new computer. I got a Lenovo from Microcenter. It's refurbished, but it looks and works like new. Microcenter also gives you a keyboard and mouse, but it doesn't come with a monitor unless you want one, but it will cost you  a little extra. The whole computer with keyboard and mouse cost a hundred dollars with thirty dollar shipping, very cheap and works better than my laptop.  The rea...

White Lies

She smiled through her white lies as she wandered from table to table. Being a waitress was not one of her funnest jobs and she didn't feel like explaining the menu to every single person. "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?" "They are all good!" she would say with a wearied smile. She didn't think that the food was all that good though, except for maybe the hamburger, but even that wasn't all that great either and she wanted to tell the truth, but it was her only job and she didn't want to lose it. Wandering and wandering through the tables day in and day out. Until one day she collapsed and it happened, the pasta fell all over the man in the suits shirt. "I ordered the food to eat it, not wear it!" Said the man in the suit with a sarcastic tone to the waitress. The waitress looked at the man in horror. "I'll..I'll...clean it up" she ...
