This is one of the quickest post I’ve ever written, and with good reason. I completely forgot about blogging. With good reason, my head was elsewhere (nothing major, just one of those brainwaves I get which need some guy to focus me). But more on that in due course! In little over a week, I’m buggering off to America (horray!), and – whilst I’ve sorted out the important stuff such as baseball tickets, insurance, money and where I’m sleeping, there’s more of the frivilous stuff to sort out now.
Guestposts
So far, I’ve had 3 guestposts submitted for my trip, whilst this does cover a little of the trip, it won’t cover the whole trip. Ideally, I’d like 8, but I understand I won’t get that.
You can guestpost about anything, and I will be more inclined to guestpost back when you’re in trouble. Furthermore, you can claim the adsense revenue on the blog you post. So, if it’s good, then it’ll get more visitors, and hopefully more cash.
To do so sign up to this blog here as an author. Write, and then publish it. I will then publish it for review. Thanks!
Music Playlist
On more important stuff, I’m trying to come up with an ace playlist for my trip. As with everything, I like to associate music with my trips, adventures and girlfriends. We had Contiki songs which I love and immediately found their way onto playlists. Some are strange (“Fuck Her Gently” by Tenacious D for Latvia, which you wouldn’t understand unless you’ve spend a weekend in the Argonaut Hostel in Riga), some are great. With America, I’ve gone for a certain theme. See if you can add to it:-
- Real American – Rick Derringer
- America – Razorlight
- Born in the USA – Bruce Springsteen
- Englishman In New York – The Police
- New York, New York – Frank Sinatra
- Lights Went Down in Massecheutets (can’t spell that I know) – Bee Gees
- American Badass – Kid Rock
So, it’s an obvious link. Anybody got any more?
