Greetings All,
Post 160 is the last post of 2008.
Happy New Year, one and all.
It has been a pretty good year of blogging here at AWOP, I'd say.
This one year old blog is dangerously close to having 50 subscribers and I have to tell you, that is amazing to me. While subscribers do not necessarily mean readers in all cases, I keep a pretty close watch on my stats and most of these folks click through their bookmarks just about every day. While there are a great number of blogs that have a whole heap more subscribers than 50, I think for my little piece of the blogging pie, that is really just something else. Thanks so very much for the continued support of AWOP.
So, let's see here, seems that I have been "tagged" by The Wandering Elf and I suppose the last post of 2008 is just going to have to be all about ME.
Can I possibly find 6 things about me you guys don't already know? Hmmmmmm. Ok, here goes.
6 things about me.
1. I caught Joan Jett's cold after she played a show in Deep Ellum (that's a part of downtown Dallas for y'all non-Texans). Poor thing, she had a terrible cold and after the show I shook her hand, gave her a hug and viola. I woke up the next morning with Joan Jett's cold...not Joan...just her cold. Best cold I ever had.
2. I earned the expert marksmanship medal with an M-16 machine gun while in basic training for the Air Force.
3. The strangest job I have had was working for Life Gift surgically harvesting body parts from cadavers, usually in the middle of the night.
4. It took me about forty years to learn to trust my instincts above all else.
5. I walked away from corporate America and "The Good Life" complete with all the trappings of success to find my Soul on the top of a mountain in Appalachia.
6. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and it taught me that to forgive those who trespass against us is the only way to peace. That includes, perhaps even more importantly, forgiving yourself your own trespasses against others.
So, in keeping with the "Tag Rules" I am tapping the following folks for six things about you as well.
Hahn at Home
Fearless History
Blanca Debree Blog
Politics After 50
The Relevant Rhino
Me And The Blue Skies

6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.
Happy New Year, Y'all

Poor Joan Jett had a rough 2008... I saw her at the Community Theatre in Morristown, NJ (http://morristownnj.roxysbestof.com) and she had just had surgery on her guitar playing arm...I didn't wake up with Joan either.

I actually read your post about that. Her band was the Runaways by the way.
I have been in complete lust for JJ since the first time I ever saw her. I have met her several times but never confessed my obsession. I did have my hands all over her thighs at one concert though but that is as far as I got...lol.
Thanks for stopping in and commenting!

It's my pleasure to be one of those 50 subscribers. You have a great blog here. I hope to see it grown in 2009!
Greetings Maritzia,

I really am honored that you like the blog enough to subscribe. I hope you will come over and visit our new team blog once I get it up and running in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks again!

Happy new year to you, too! Have a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year.
Happy New Year! Thanks for the tag. I saw Joan Jett in a concert at Cooper River Park on the 4th of July a few years ago. I didn't get a chance to get close enough to shake her hand or catch a cold, but she sure did rock out. :)
Have a wonderful New Year!

Happy New Year to you! I saw Joan Jett this year during the True Colors Tour. She was AWESOME! Pissed too. Something was wrong with her mike and she kept getting shocked throughout the whole set. I think she fired all of her roadies after that. Oh and by the way HOT pic of Joan!
Happy New Year!:-)
I've enjoyed reading your posts. May 2009 bring you a bounty of joy, peace, love, supreme happiness, and ultimately keep you on a natural high all year long. You deserve all of this and more. :-)
Happy New Year!
Great story about Joan Jett (I love the Runaways).
Greetings Y'all,
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. I have sure enjoyed reading y'all as well and am glad I got to know you through blogging. Good luck and good health to all of you in all your endeavors in 2009.

Congratulations on your blogaversary! Mine is a year old now too! I can't believe I actually kept updating for a whole year!
Take lots of vitamin C for that cold (unless you want to hold on to it seeing as how it came from Joan and all...)
Happy New Year!
