“Hear my voice” Alexander Graham Bell and me

Well let me start off by saying Holy Crap! It’s been a month! *does a little happy dance* yes I do little happy dances….

 

I want to share something with you that I found fascinating.  Mr. (Alex) has an hour commute into work every day.  He loves to listen to the BBC and CBC radio during his commute.  In the evening he has some fantastic news bits to share with me.  It’s great lately because all I seem to do is eat, sleep and breathe blogging in my spare time.  News? No time, terrible I know.  At least I have Alex’s daily updates so I can stay in the loop.

 

The other night Alex told me about a piece that he heard in regards to Alexander Graham Bell (scientist, innovator, inventor, engineer and creator of the first telephone).  Up until a few days ago they had not ever been able to hear his voice.  He attempted to make recordings but they were trapped in plastic.  Days ago it was  discovered that the Smithsonian had successfully transferred the ‘recordings’ into audible sound.

Hey everyone.

One of my New Years Resolutions was to start a blog and to write. It was also to go the gym regularly but that didn’t last too long!  The blogging, well I am almost one month into it now and I have no intention of slowing down.  I’m loving writing and the blogging community and starting projects like PAY DAY

That being said I started a google + (writingsofamrs Jennifer) account with a You Tube Channel.  Here is the address to the Channel it is still under construction but please feel free to sign up (however you do that!?)  http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr13m4Cz8ZUgelYk1Lokudw .  The primary reason for this is for the ‘release’ or ‘debut’ of Rays rendition song Gravy Baby, along with any other future projects.  Please bare with me because I really am walking in the dark trying to make all of this happen.  I really appreciate all of your support and encouragement.  If anyone has any helpful info for me on how to manage the You Tube channel etc that would be excellent!

I will be posting an intro video followed by Rays video that you can link to through my blog in my PAY DAY Thursday post around 2:00 pm my time.  I will give more info about the upcoming Thursdays collaborations along with some other general information.

I’m looking for other song writers, musicians, DJ’s, performers etc to collaborate with so if you know anyone that might be interested please have them contact me!  But make sure that they read my original Pay Day post first.  ( I don’t need any emails with people asking me for money!) Any one else that would like to participate please contact me by email, it’s easier for me to keep on top of it that way. writingsofamrs@outlook.com

Thank you again for all of your inquiries.  I am doing my best to keep on top of responding to all of the emails and to also keep on top of my comments and my posts and engaging with the Word Press community!

I am currently working on the lay out and over all look of my Blog.
I will be adding a Face Book Page that you can connect to, to stay in touch, discuss the content  and socialize with me and each other if you so choose.

I will also be setting up an email that you can contact me through.

Weekends, Palahniuk’s thoughts

“The only reason that we ask people how their weekend was is so we can tell them about our own weekend.”

Chuck Palahniuk

I have been reading a lot of Chucks work lately.  He is well known for starting chapters and paragraphs with a punch.  He is quite the read.
Have you read any of his books or short stories?  If so what do you think?

This weekend quote is in honor of him.
Have a great Saturday.

What are your thoughts on this quote? Is it a fair statement? Let me know.
“Don’t judge a man by his opinions, but what his opinions have made of him.”
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
(Back to blogging tomorrow, I will be posting new things Monday to Fridays, I figure I should share my expectations for postings since this is my first week.)
Thanks have a wonderful Sunday!
