A little bit of everything, colored my own way. |
THE PROMPT: "MARCELLA SHALE, USA" Hey folks...always a good idea to Google your prompt when you have no clue as to what the statement is even trying to tell you. My first thought was that Marcella Shale is a tiny little podunk hick town, possibly in Pennsylvania, Ohio or the midwest. My second thought was maybe it was a person? An organization or business? So I turn to Google, and I click this link: http://www.marcellusshales.com/shaleplays.html It's fair to say that that link told me absolutely nothing. Clicking that link and viewing the page is about as useful as going to a Chinese restaurant for the purpose of learning how to speak Chinese. I found it humorous though that at the bottom of that page, there's a link to play a game! Ooooooohhh! I like games! So I clicked on that, and was directed here: {link:http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-9248565517775527&output=html&h=90&slotname=9027929212&w=180&lmt=1304459716&flash=11.1.102.55&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.marcellusshales.com%2Fshaleplays.html&dt=1328580458191&bpp=10&shv=r20120125&jsv=r20110914&prev_slotnames=1564571009%2C4436619025%2C9027929212%2C7719618891%2C9432557333&correlator=1328580458186&frm=20&adk=1826750662&ga_vid=1779724412.1328580458&ga_sid=1328580458&ga_hid=1470733783&ga_fc=0&u_tz=-300&u_his=4&u_java=1&u_h=800&u_w=1280&u_ah=770&u_aw=1280&u_cd=32&u_nplug=0&u_nmime=0&dff=arial&dfs=12&adx=317&ady=939&biw=1259&bih=606&oid=3&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Furl%3Fsa%3Dt%26rct%3Dj%26q%3D%26esrc%3Ds%26frm%3D1%26source%3Dweb%26cd%3D2%26ved%3D0CC4QFjAB%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.marcellusshales.com%252Fshaleplays.html%26ei%3Da4cwT-nxKaPi0QGLnqHABw%26usg%3DAFQjCNGDeWSho0sYSRcWa4yGn2b9aeaR_g%26sig2%3D4sU0qtUE0TOgKh9GuiyQug&fu=0&ifi=6&dtd=984&xpc=GepxVjAW69&p=http%3A//www.marcellusshales.com&rl_rc=true&adsense_enabled=true&ad_type=text_image&oe=utf8&height=90&width=180&format=fp_al_lp&kw_type=radlink&prev_fmts=180x90_0ads_al_s&rt=ChBPMId5AAn_xAoquIOP5EikEglQbGF5IEdhbWUaCDRcYunRaM93KAEwA1ITCLL1u_njiq4CFcG7KgodCDFM7Q&hl=en&kw0=Barnett+Shale+Blog&kw1=HAYNESVILLE+Shale&kw2=Play+Game&okw=Play+Game} Yeah, don't click on it. It's not worth it. I went the next logical Google route (my eyes just rolled upon typing "Google" and "logical" in the same sentence) and went to this link...links that end in ".org" are legit, right? http://marcelluscoalition.org/ Ohhhhhh my head. Really? Me writing a blog entry about this stuff and you actually caring about it would be like me asking you to write about http://www.clubmarcella.com/Club_Marcella/home.html from 3,000 miles away and caring passionately and extensively. And I find it unacceptable! I will not let my blog be taken over by science and nature and environment and all that other "real world" happy horseshit. This is the place people come to when they want to shield themselves from all that for a few minutes! You wanna forget how miserable this world is sometimes, you don't turn on CNN. You watch your CSI and your Family Guy and your Two And A Half Men. And when you wanna see how your friends are livin' these days, you don't wanna read about their science experiments! You wanna hear about the family and the kids and the job, and you secretly hope they're just a little worse off just so your miserable life sounds a just a bit better but you know they're doin' ok and you're happy for them. So nope, not happenin'. Challenge today failed. The genres of this blog are Personal, Biographical, and Comedy. Science, nature, and anything else related? Sorry, you'll have to get them from somewhere else, lest I disappoint the other five or six of you out there that actually think my taste in humor is, in fact, funny. MUSICAL BREAK!! I'm going the Vlogcast route on this one. Seems to be some confusion, miscommunication, misdirection, etc. recently. Not toward me, but some of my friends have recently been getting the wrong impression from certain individuals. Without going into detail, there are some misguided sorts out there that have been acting a little out of place, and it can be hurtful to see good people feeling the wrath of others. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byxi8gcNXxU&feature=fvsr VITAL STATS: The really interesting thing about this Marcellus Shale thing? You can actually join these sites and log in and become a user or whatever. And you can follow them on Twitter! Uhhh, no, and thank you...and please don't request to follow me back. Yup, Target (the store) has some pretty sweet clearance deals. I got a pair of jeans and a pair of cargo pants for work for $20. justjessica1 got her boys a bunch of clothes for cheap. Not only did we get a hassle-free exchange on their Xmas present tv, I never realized how much they expanded their grocery department, or how reasonable 90% of their stuff was. Got most of the grocery shopping done there too. Still had to cross the street to get to Wegmans for some other stuff, but wow, impressive! I made an incredible chicken enchilada dinner today. Shredded the chicken (well, Jess did that part) and all. Homemade sour cream sauce, yeah. It was awesome. Alrightey, well, I'm off to waste time in other places. Be good to everyone else, ya hear? We'll do it again tomorrow...Peace, and GOODNIGHT NOW!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJSkrF8nhxg http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=4e3-hJplPeI |
