Indecision leads to Democracy once more!

If there was a Middleton, Nevada, I would be very freaked out right now. For some reason my mouse wandered over to the Wikipedia search box and my hands typed in "Middleton Nevada." I can't really explain how this happened, I'm just glad that's not a real place because I don't have time to go to Nevada. Which is what I would have done; I've watched Battlestar Galactica enough to know that prophesies cannot be ignored.

I'm thinking about doing a series of blogs. Maybe 5 or so blogs on one particular issue. I have a few ideas, but I'm not quite sure which one I should use. So I'm invoking the old and might tool of Democracy once more. Vote for one of these topics to be first Midwestrocker Blog Series:

  1. Foreign Nations: I'll do a blog on five different countries based on my opinions of them, various interesting facts, and things about them that scare me. The only nation I know for sure would be in this is Germany, and the "scary" part shouldn't be difficult to imagine.
  2. On the bubble TV shows: I'll write four blogs about shows that could be canceled and why I think they should, or shouldn't be.
  3. The five best Radiohead songs: This is a gag option. Do not vote for this.
  4. Hot-button Issues: I'll blog on things like Don Imus and... hmmm, whatever hot button issue comes up between now and then.
  5. Learning about things: I'll write five blogs in which I pick a subject I know nothing about and research it silly trying to understand. The first thing would be "Currency." I just don't quite get how these little pieces of paper work. Do they represent gold? Does this mean I could trade in my dollars for a little piece of Fort Knox?
  6. Reasons why I wish I'd experienced the 80s and reasons why I'm glad I missed the 70s: I'd write five blogs about things I wish I could have seen in the 80s, and things I'm glad I didn't see in the 70s.

Okay, I think that's plenty of options. Votes are appreciated either in the comments or in PM. And for the apathetic non-voters, here's the question of the day.

QotD: When did you get your first computer, and what was that like?

That's all for now. TTYL and thanks for reading.

I Vote #3 I Vote #3!!!! Sorry - I'm just so used to my kids doing exactly what I tell them NOT to, I thought I'd give it a try myself! #4 type blogs are always popular - and as for #5, US currency hasn't been backed by actual gold for a looooooong time. It'd be interesting to hear about how other countries do it - especially with the Euro! ang

I vote 2 and 5. Can I vote for two?

Yeah...that's what I vote. I loves me bubbles.

I'm all for Number 6, because I want to know what you wish you could have seen in the 80's and how it compares to what I actually saw.

When I got my first computer (which sadly was only 2 1/2 years ago), it was so surreal. I immediately logged onto to AOL with the AOL account he let me use on his computer and felt so free! Now, I'm still using the same computer and he works super slow.

KFCgravy: Hey. That's interesting to know about the gold. I might research that topic a little more even if it doesn't get the votes.

Frakking_Frakker: I guess you can vote for two. Votes counted.

Roxie: Hey, s'been awhile! Wow, you're relatively new to the computer world. It was probably a lot more notable to experience the internet as an adult, because when I first experienced it it was no big deal. And so far, everything but option 1 has 1 vote.

I love Midi blogs no matter what the subject.
I got my first compie in 2003. My BF's brother was sent to Kosovo,so we got the computer to keep in touch. I didn't even know how to turn it on or keyboard at all. Now I can upload music,make DVDs,create a website...I never thought I would learn so much! I did buy a notebook last year but mainly use the same emachines we bought four years ago. The boyfriend went but the compie stayed.

Well, Radiohead, obviously.

But if I can't vote for them, then #6. Could be interesting!

Kimba: Hmm... nice computer story. And thank you for my new favorite word, "compie."

Stig: It's all the obvious ones... Fake Plastic Trees, Creep, Exit Music (For a Film), No Surprises, and Paranoid Android. They're popular for a reason. And it now looks like number 6 is going to win, with 2 votes.
