Do I owe you an email? Hang in there, I'm getting to it. There are only about 200 messages sitting in my Inbox.

I need a drink.

---(-)-> Roy, Thanks for the great article on the first progressive dinner carnival at For Your Success!

---(-)-> Thanks to everyone helping promote the second progressive dinner carnival...
---(-)-> I appreciate the help I'm getting to promote my Blogospherian Picnic...
---(-)-> Sophia, Do you think you'll ever pick up posting at Unorthodox Musings again? I do hope so, what you offered there definitely, I think, deserves an audience.

---(-)-> GB, I added your link to tidings of comfort and joy.

Do I Owe You An Email Or A Link?

I have 423 messages sitting in my Inbox. If I owe you an email the answer could be here...

---(-)-> Mail has been flowing in and out related to the blogosphere's only progressive dinner carnival, Soup To Nuts...


I'd like to thank all the blogospherians {a Kilroy_60 original} who have published posts to promote the carnival...
---(-)-> Aza, GREAT to have you posting again at Surreptitious Psychosis!

Thanks for your comment at The Good, The Bad and The Ugly...which also serves as a reminder I need to update.

---(-)-> Leanderthal, I've got your link plugged in the sidebar to A Voice Crying In The Wilderness. I'm looking for your submission(s) to the progressive dinner.

---(-)-> I have your link to Boating In Beautiful British Columbia plugged in here, Heather. We're going to more or less redo A Photographer's Eye soon...will be sure to plug in your link.

---(-)-> Matt, Your link, to MySavePC.net, is also plugged in here. I'll be updating The Good, The Bad and The Ugly soon. I got one more submission through blogcarnival.com; should I look for the other three or are you finished?

---(-)-> Soham, We're good to go... The second progressive dinner will run on Wednesday, 30 April; we'll take submissions from 30 January through 26 April. You'll host the hors d'oeuvres & cocktails course at The Soul And The Witness.

---(-)-> I never submit to blogcarnival.com listings unless there's a date listed for the next edition of a carnival.

There was a period - between the posting of the Villagers go...GONZO! Carnival and the announcement of the Gonzo Gratitude! Carnival {What are you thankful for?} - when I received a few entries for what amounts of a gonzo carnival that doesn't exist.

It seems the perfect time to remedy the situation....

Welcome to The Gonzo Carnival of Unexpected Opportunity...
  • Tamsyn points to helicopter parents as a root cause of some current problems. {Damn them!}
  • The Sporadical offers a most interesting take on political coverage.
  • How long was it before your New Year Resolutions crashed and burned? Joshua Seth tells you why.
  • The male voice, Glowing Face Man says, equates to power in gender relations.
  • Mitch McDonald offers practical advice, how to save money on toner.
For an impromptu gathering, I think this carnival came together rather well. Do let those who contributed posts know you found them here. Given their self initiatave, they deserve the support.

---(-)-> Dr. DeJesus, I received your entries both for the progressive dinner and my first Gonzo Blog Carnival of 2008 Gonzo GRATITUDE! {What are you thankful for?}. Thanks for adding Physician Entrepreneur...

---(-)-> Sank, I'm not sure how it happened, but I missed a link at your site to The Gonzo Papers. I've added a link to Old And In The Way.

---(-)-> WriterWoman, I've posted a link to The Shores Of My Dreams. I hadn't been aware of that link until I surfed Technorati.

---(-)-> Lin, I got your link to Telling It Like It Is plugged in. I've been plugging away on messages, trying to handle current ones expediently while working through the backlog. I'm at 372 in my Inbox, eh.

---(-)-> Nicole, great to have you joining in the second progressive dinner carnival. You'll be hosting the appetizer course at Musings Of A Manic Mom.

---(-)-> Warren, I look forward to reading your follow-up to the post I commented on, 22 Benefits Of Owning A Business (And Why You Should Do It). If you think of it drop a line my way when you publish it.

---(-)-> An excerpt from email I wrote to Tony Iovino at A Red Mind In A Blue State:

It's people like us, I think, on which the country must depend to fix what ills us.

My position is not that W. stole the election from Gore, when he was out voted, but simply that the system fucked up. As for Kerry, he was a bumbling fool and the country was in a stupor from the massacre in the desert. But, fuck all that.

What we need, you and me and all the others, is to MAKE AMERICA PURPLE.

I laughed when I saw you have a section of links to blogospherians {a Kilroy_60 original} that have political views with which you do not agree - saying, "visit at your own risk". At least I believe it was your proviso; It may have been the fat, tight joint of BC bud, spiced with opium, rolled by my undocumented Costa Rican maid's lesbian lover. But fuck all that all too.

If you read my post, referenced above, you'll see that your willingness to provide those links, even with a user's warning, knowing how well that's worked for cigarettes, is a step toward becoming purple. I do the same, linking to those I wish, regardless of whether or not I think the person's political view comes from a lack of oxygen due to having their head up their ass for the past 8+ years.

What do you say we open a dialogue, take a step to show the politicos that cooperation can be found and mutual benefit be had if two decide that is what they want to do? I propose a link exchange. What do you say?

---(-)-> Isabella, I'm sorry promotion for the writing projects you're working on won't fit in the progressive dinner. There are a myriad of projects the hosts, including me, are working on and it would clutter things.

I'm happy to point people to your promotion of the Social Media Megaproject including posts on LinkedIn and Twitter.

---(-)-> Hueina, Thanks for doing my first interview as a Blog Village, Featured Member. I appreciate the chance to talk about your site, Intensive Care For The Nurturer's Soul

---(-)-> Dana, What a pleasure it will be to have you host a carnival with me again. To confirm for the second progressive dinner blog carnival, you'll be hosting the main course at Simple Pleasures.

13 Old Links Deleted - 7 New Link Exchange Sites Added - Write If I Owe You A Link

{Enhanced} Photograph by Kilroy_60

I've taken some time over the holiday weekend for blog updating. Along with that comes email cleanup.

The Link Exchange list in the sidebar has been shuffled; something I do periodically. 13 links were deleted. 7 new sites were added.

After a few hours of purging my Inbox I still have 298 messages. Unfortunately, I don't have anymore time to follow-up and archive. I'll be working on this to get things squared away ASAP.

If you have posted a link to The Gonzo Papers or The Good, The Bad and The Ugly that I haven't returned please let me know. I'll get right back to you...

The first December Gonzo Blog Carnival has been announced. See the following post. Look for another announcement this week.

If you're interested in hosting a carnival, there's an email link in my profile.

Cheers!

Delete... Delete... Delete... Delete... Delete... x201

It's time to empty my SPAM folder; the count today hit 1,005!

What a storied history SPAM has had. In the days of NASA's Gemini progam the astronauts were often referred to as "spam in a can". It's rare that you hear anyone talk about the canned precooked meat from Hormel. Maybe we'll hit on the Austin, Minnesota company another time.

For the moment, the focus is on unwanted email. That which could easily be labeled the scourge of the web. {Which is how some people refer to paid posts in blogs; again something for future posting}

Quite interesting, I must say, how inventive the spammers are about trying to get into our Inbox. And, frankly, just how fucking lame some others are.

F-BOMB! {Couldn't help myself; I find that label so fucking comical}

To conclude...

I Was "Interviewed" Today...Via Email

I responded to a request today for an email interview. This is it...

On 12/26/06, matt clarke wrote:

Hi I like your site.

I write a comedy blog. I wondered if you wanted to take part in an interview to highlight your site.

My site is
http://www.mrjoeblogs.blogspot.com/
The questions are as follows :

Name : Kilroy_60
Age : Old enough to know better, Too young to care
Location : The Writer's Nook
Vocation : Consultant
Philosophy : Live Passionately.

Sum up what your blog is about for us. The Gonzo Papers is written in the spirit of Hunter S. Thompson. The human condition is examined, there is exploration of that which lurks in the shadows and a point of view is expressed without apology.

Why are you doing your blog? Education requires an exchange of ideas. Blogging provides me with a forum to both learn and teach.

How much would you sell your blog for? How much is your soul worth?

Please include any picture you want use to use in the article I have attached what I think is a classic picture of The Good Doctor. I regularly publish my original photography in the blog; there is not one photograph I could select from the collection.

Tell us a random funny story that comes to mind I'm having CRS symptoms today; I'll have to get back to you on this one.

Are there any blogs, you enjoy reading? Yes.

Whats the funniest entry on your blog? I write them; I don't judge them.

What is your writing style? Gonzo!

Why should someone visit your site? It is an open door to expand knowledge, to explore possibilities and to experience the beauty that is life.

What do people commonly say about your site? That would depend on what people you ask.

If you could recommend one website, what would it be and explain why (can't be your own website!) www.1ForYourSuccess.blogspot.com - For Your Success is about making a positive difference in the world.

Tell us just one of your favourite actors, actress's, film, song, and
comedian(up to you if u want to explain why) Jack Nicholson; Jane Fonda; The Out of Towners with Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis; Alice's Restaurant; Richard Pryor {I don't explain.}

Tell us a joke What is the ultimate question for a dyslexic agnostic?

What would you wish for with 3 wishes? 1. One more day with her, being happy. 2. Long lives, good health and much happiness for my family and friends. 3. To be a better person tomorrow than I am today.

Your site address : www.KilroyTheGonzoPapers.blogspot.com
Kind regards
Matt

Thank you for your interest.
Cheers!
