With Respect …

In my experience the 3 little words “I’m not being … ”, (insert the relevant missing word of your choice) are often the precursor for an insult or other offensive comment.

  1. “I’m not being rude, but …”. Meaning – I am going to say something insulting. I am, however going to deny my intention to be rude.
  2. “With respect…”. Meaning – I have no respect for you or the ideas you are expressing. I am, however going to use those words as a figleaf to hide the fact I’m insulting you.
  3. “I’m not racist but …”. Meaning – I hold highly reprehensible views on race. I am, in fact a racist bigot.
  4. “Some of my best friends are …”. Meaning – I don’t like this particular group of people, however I hope to disguise this fact by using the forgoing words.
  5. “Its not you, its me …”. Meaning – It is (in my opinion) entirely down to you that this relationship (insert relevant example) isn’t working. I am, however going to let you down gently by pretending that it is all my fault.

Shakespeare’s words, “One may smile and be a villain” spring to mind.

 

I have Been Nominated For The Teen Daydreamer Award

Thank you to The Teen Daydreamer for nominating me for The Teen Daydreamer Award, (https://theteendaydreamer.wordpress.com/2015/03/08/the-daydreamer-award-3/). I very much appreciate it.

Here are the rules:

 

  1. Thank the person who gave you the award – Thank you again Teen Daydreamer!

 

  1. Complete the challenge they set you.

 

  1. Select a blog or blogs that you want to give the award to. (The amount of blogs you select is unlimited!)

 

  1. Tell them about it and set them a challenge.

(Please include the rules in your post).

My challenge, as set by Teen Daydreamer, is to describe my absolute dream job, so here goes!

Ideally I would like to earn sufficient from my writing to allow me to live in the country (but within easy reach of a major city). I would spend a part of each day writing and the rest in charity work or socialising with friends. A pipedream but, in any case my ideal job.

There are so many blogs deserving of nomination. However, after careful consideration I have decided on the below 6 blogs:

  1. Inspired By A Book. This young woman has worked hard, in a short space of time to build up a book review blog and deserves credit for her hard work (https://inspiredbyabook.wordpress.com/).
  2. Writing Post Parkinson’s talks about living with Parkinsons and contains some great material on creativity more generally (https://nimbus432.wordpress.com/).
  3. Behind The White Coat is a touching and frequently humorous blog by a doctor (https://doctorly.wordpress.com/).
  4. Chris The Story Reading Ape’s Blog for his unfailing support for indie authors and support for reading (http://thestoryreadingapeblog.com/).
  5. Tess of How The Cookie Crumbles for her interesting posts on China together with her stories (https://letscutthecrap.wordpress.com/).
  6. Kev Cooper for his writing and his unfailing kindness to fellow authors (http://kevs-domain.net/).
  7. My challenge to the above bloggers, should they choose to accept it, is to write a short piece about their favourite book and/or the writer who has exerted the greatest influence on them.
