MuchLove!

Well, hello there! Guess what time it is. Well, I can’t actually hear you, because if I could that might be a little creepy. So I’m just going to tell you what time it is.

It’s time for another installment of some LJ & Becca pics! For those of you out there in Land of Blog that don’t know who LJ and Becca are, or what LJ even stands for…well, LJ is Little Jesse, son of Becca & Jesse, and Becca is Sister of our one and only Queen James Approximately – Jamie!  And – as if that wasn’t enough – LJ is Godson to Otis & James! So, he gets a lot of pictures…and love!

OK, got all that? Great. Cause it’s time for sweetlysnaps now. MuchLove to one and all, and to my good peeps of blog – Enjoy!

Ladies & gents, we’re still not done. I’m not giving up yet. The St. Valentines Day Blog-o-Rama is not done. We’re oh so close, so so close.

For those of you that have stayed awake throughout this event, your sleep will soon come. For those of you that did manage to sleep throughout this event, I’m wondering how strong your conviction to Blogville is, and we will definately be bringing this up during the next Blogville City Council Meeting.

Strap yourselves in, and proceed to enjoyment mode.

MuchLove!

Dear Citizens of Blog:

For those of you out there following the Saint Valentines Day Blor-o-Rama (Andy from Minot, Charity from Minnesota, Kinzo from B-Town…I’m looking right at you guys), you may have noticed that it is currently February the 18th, and we’re four days out from V-Day.

Yes. It’s crazy. I know.

But life is crazy, isn’t it. Time & space, they mean nothing to me. Now, back to the Blog-o-Rama!

Sincerely Yours,
Mr. Otis

Welcome, my dear old friends, to a little something we’re gonna call the St. Valentines Day Blog-o-Rama! What you are about to see is going to be sheer madness, utter pandemonium! It’s gonna be an explosion the senses! It’s going to not only rock your socks off, it also has the potential to rock other items of your clothing off too, including – but not limited to – eyeglasses, binoculars, and stove pipe hats.

Whoa.

I’m just going to let that set in for a second. Alright, you ready now? For we’re about to go on a journey through the FunCenter like you’ve never seen before. Hold on to your pants, and let the games begin!

MuchLove
o&j

Helly my dear friendly friends of the blog! I’m sure that you have been missing us, missing me, missing whatever it is that people keep on coming back for in the land of blog. I must confess, even I have been missing it.

It seems, my friendly friends, that after about 990 posts (give or take a few), my brain went into some sort of a mental freeze state in which I would look at land of blog (which, in case you were wondering, actually exists in a 12″ PowerBook G4…crazy, huh?) and my mind would glaze over, and the words would quickly run from my head, destined to never be caught by my fingers and placed into the land of blog. This problem, my friends friendly, has been quite bothersome. Some might call it writers block (although that would suggest that the words which are left here for you could be classified as some sort of cohesive writing, but even I would beg to differ on that), others might just call it ‘going soft in the brain’. Personally, I like the softer of the two. Moving on.

So, as some of you may or may not have noticed, there have been some posts that have gone up that did not have the words. Now, this may have been exciting for some, as the words are really just a distraction from the goodlygoods and the sweetlysweets that y’all come here for (that’s the snaps, in case you were wondering), and some of the hardcore bloggerites may have been saddened by this lack of rambling insanity which would creep from the blog into your lives, and some may have been wondering if this was the new direction that we were going to be going (not really sure if that is the best way to word that, but I’ve never really let that stop me before) with the blog.

Let me assure you, this is not the new direction we are going to be going with the blog. It’s just that sometimes, it’s good to breathe a little, take a step back, look at the snaps, and let them do the talking. It’s also good for the mind of Otis to take a step back, look at the pictosnaps, and breathe a little bit. Well, that time for breathing is over, and it’s time to get back to the words. It’s time to get back to the garden…umm…wait…I think I’m quoting CSN&Y…well…either way. It’s time to get back to the keyboard. It’s time to put order and harmony back in the land of blog. It’s time to respect for my faithful of the blog, and it’s time to put the words back.

And that, my dear friends of the blog, is that.

I have missed you!
I have loved you!
You have never been far from my thoughts!
Without You, We’re Nothing!

And now, we must be going, as we have many more adventures to go on, many more pictosnaps to see, and many more words to wade through before we get to those snaps.

OK, enough navel-gazing.

MuchLove!

Jeanette, a friend to O&J and the owner of a new bicycle! This isn’t any bicycle either. This is one of those situations you see in the movies. The situation where a store owner says “I’ve got what you’re looking for in back,” he disappears for a while and then returns with exactly what you were looking for. In the movies though, it’s usually drugs, firearms, potions, dwarves, or knock-off purses.

Luckily, this is reality, and not the movies. In reality, when a store owner goes in back, she returns with an astonishingly beautiful bicycle! Jeanette was excited, to say the least. She sped to the FunCenter immediately to show it off (cycling happens to be in her family; her mother is a famous bicycling spokeswoman for a major sports store chain). Queen James just happened to be out and about with her camera, so it was meant to be that she capture the essence that is “Jeanette & Bicycle.” She loves it so, just as much as I love my ’79 Skylark — that’s a story for another time though.

Here’s a little tip, if you’re ever going to a superhero presentation and pick up your friend that loves bicycles, MAKE SURE the garage door is closed. Because if it’s not, and it starts to rain, the rain could blow into the garage and get the bicycle damp. Then you’d have to call your mother and make her drop whatever she’s doing and make her promise to close the door.

Just a tip.

Enough said. Here she is, the lady of the hour with the bicycle of the year :: Jeanette!

Enjoy!
