I admire your positive attitude:)
I found you with the 'next blog' button, but I don't read most of the blogs I encounter, however I took particular interest in yours, and I read it as I think that you might also be interested in contributing to a discussion on my blog.
You may not be aware yet, but there is a new phenomenon sweeping parts of the web. It is very ambiguous and mysterious, but the messages that have been transmitted are very interesting and it is creating lots of excitement on the web and in certain circles of society.
It's ambiguity is where my blog comes in. It is a space where the questions and theories of this phenomenon can be discussed and scrutinised, and where those excited by this new viral campaign can try and solve the mystery of what it is, and whether it is really as relevant and interesting as it promises to be. It is still not known whether it is a political party, a philosophical idea or even a movie campaign!
Anyway I think that you would enjoy participating in the early discussions of this phenomenon.
Many thanks, and keep up the good blogging:)
Good luck with your venture! This is kind of a bucket list but hopefully you don't kick the bucket.
That's a huge list..sounds like a lot of fun!
