This Is Me--2024 A to Z Theme

My A to Z Themes in the past have covered a range of topics and for 2024 the theme is a personal retrospective that I call "I Coulda Been" which is in reference to my job and career arc over my lifetime. I'll be looking at all sorts of occupations that I have done or could have done. Maybe you've done some of these too!

The Truth about my Most Recent Battle of the Bands ( #BOTB Results )


I always hate it when I lose an hour, but seem to think little when I throw away hours upon hours in ultimately useless pursuits...

         Last week was like going through a time warp.  Come to think of it my whole life seems to be going that way.  But it seems like life has always gone that way from the beginning except when I was younger everything seemed new and for me it really was. 

         Sometimes I think the progress of the world is moving too fast. Would we want or expect it any other way?

Battle of the Bands Results




          My most recent Battle was between young up-and-comer Dawnelle Elizabeth and rock-and-roll legend Dion.  I wasn't sure how this match would turn out, but I knew that Dion was my pick.  I've liked Dion's work in Christian music since I first came across it back in the eighties.  There's also something about the melody of Dion's song--a haunting quality that particularly appeals to me.

          Dawnelle's song is a rousing upbeat tune, but I usually go for the more introspective music.  I would have thought she'd have gotten more votes, but the tally tells the story...

Final Vote Tally

Dawnelle Elizabeth           3

Dion Dimucci                  11




 Next Battle on Sunday March 15th

         This Battle will be another kind of religious theme.  I'll be featuring two different songs about the same historical martyr.  And the Battle will have nothing to do with St. Patrick, but this saint will be a worthy companion...

  4. I would have chosen Dion regardless, but Dawnelle's video didn't help her any, in my view. (For a person singing a "Christian" song, it seemed, to me, rather... disturbing. I won't go into more detail, but some Christian readers might understand my meaning regardless.)

  7. I love the A to Z, and I've asked on the site blog, and am asking here, do you mind if I set up a group on Goodreads for it?
