I thought memoirs were written just before you died? Uh-oh.
Our friend Matt over at The Nasty Boys Sports Blog has tagged us in a blogger’s game, thus signifying that we do exist.
Here are the conditions, as copied from Matt, himself:
The Rules:
- Write your own six word memoir.
- Post it to your blog including a visual illustration if you would like.
- Link to the person who tagged you in your post and to this original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere.
- Tag 5 more blogs with links.
- Don’t forget to leave a comment in the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.
It’s a tough thing to write a six-word memoir, seeing as nothing poetic is ever written in sixes. Anyway, here’s my attempt, touching upon the importance of family cohesiveness:
I’m tagging the following five blogs (friends) to continue this game:
Gridiron Goddess
Troy’s Thoughts on Sports
Ick’s Corner
Full Contact Sports
You Are Flawed, If You Are Not Free
C’mon, Shea, you’ve put me as well as the other four blog writers on the spot! I can’t top your 6-word memoir, but heck, I’ll give it a go sometime in the next few hours.
hee hee I’m not gonna post this on my blog, but I’ll tell you now, I just finished a rough draft of a memoir of my life 2002-2006. It is a 4 word title with an 8 word subtitle. lol
I work for SMITH (www.smithmag.net), the magazine where this challenge originated, and I’ve been keeping an eye on this meme for the past few months. I think your response is fantastic, and I love the image too – that’s one of the best uses of a visual I’ve seen so far. If you’re interested, you should submit it over at SMITH; we’ll consider it for our next book!
Great memoir and photo, thanks for playing, I’m enjoying this round of sports blogs:)
Thanks for the tag. I’ll have to think about this for a while :)
Not only a great use of six words, a far more respectable memoir and accompanying picture than I offered.
Kudos, Shea. And thanks for playing along.
Matt
