Okinawa - Months of the Year Memories in Photos

 Who Needs a Calendar?

Today, I randomly selected photos from each month of the year for publishing.

Next, I fooled around with different calendar-making tools found on the internet.

And, that's what convinced me, I DON'T WANNA MAKE ANY DAMN CALENDARS!

Someone else might enjoy making calendars from my photos so, here ya go.

A Few Words for This Wednesday - Sorta A Gripe

 This Cure Doesn't Work for Everybody

A while ago I could publish hundreds or thousands of words with no difficulty.

Articles, stories, reviews, and travel adventures just rolled onto paper with no effort.

Call it laziness, craziness, or whatever you like. Writing just doesn't get me excited anymore.

New Year's Day I  bought some notebooks to see any writing motivation would come along.

Two spiral-springy book things sat resting on a shelf next to the computer.

Some research was done (for a few months) and, finally, I decided to kick the writer's block.

There must be 100 methods writers can use to get their inspiration for writing fired up.

This one sounded like something which might work for me.

Every morning (for the month of March) I forced myself to write 500 words a day.

Most of the time, it was after looking at the news and social networks, early in the morning.

The house is quiet at 4 AM and I can sip my coffee without any distractions.

About halfway through my 500 milliliters of iced coffee, I'd get inspired and write.

"500 words," It really doesn't take lots of effort to write that piece.  In a few seconds, I was done.

If you have trouble writing, you might want to try this guy's method. It's not for me.

So, I'm thinking of giving myself another month of rest. Maybe, try something new in March!

Ever Hear of National Hamburger Day ?

It Takes All Kinds of People to Make the World Go Round

 

And, they're all here, right now !

This photo was taken at the Cafe Captain Kangaroo in Nago City, Okinawa, Japan.

It is a Roo's Special Burger.

Not to worry.  There wasn't any kangaroo in it.  It was beef, I think.

In my endless online searches for the truth, I came upon some important information for you.

THERE REALLY IS A NATIONAL HAMBURGER DAY

Do Not Mark Your Calendar Yet

 

All excited when I learned this important tidbit of information, I went to mark my calendar.

May 28, 2013 wasn't on the darn thing because it runs out December 31st.

So, I did more research, until the results favored me.

BINGO !

There's a Hamburger Day December 21st.  My calendar just got marked. 

That's the day I'll celebrate.

There's some folks who claim July 28th is the correct day.

When the New 2013 Calendars Arrive

 

It'd probably be a good idea to mark all the National Hamburger Days down.

We wouldn't want to offend anybody.

Would we ?
