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
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.

Thanks for the tag. I’ll have to think about this for a while
Great memoir and photo, thanks for playing, I’m enjoying this round of sports blogs:)
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!
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
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.
