Blaugust/Promptapalooza Day 6

Blaugust has been a blogging event that has been around for a few years now, and I’ve been happy to participate. Every year, and sometimes twice in a year, gaming bloggers, pop-culture bloggers, media bloggers, and pretty much any type of blogger has a chance to come together and share their experiences about blogging. It’s a lot of fun, and I love the community that it has spawned.

All kinds of content are represented in the blogosphere, and today, Wilhelm Arcturus over at The Ancient Gaming Noob takes a look at favorite quotes.

Before I look into my thoughts about the question, a little preamble…

Promptapalooza Day 6

Normally about this time of year, I would be working on Blaugust and trying to figure out how I am gonna keep up with all the blogs that are posting every day. This year, I think I’m in a similar situation except we’re all following a series of prompts that Belghast over at Tales of the Aggronaut has put together or that people have come up with on their own.

I kinda like it. Not only do we get a bunch of different perspectives on some cool themes, but we also get a chance to explore different blogs.

Maybe this will even get me back into my Six Degrees posts when the dust settles. I used to really enjoy traveling through six degrees of blogging, and if things work out well, I think I’ll jump back on that in September…But for now, we have Blaugust: Promptapalooza.

Quotes

For this Sixth day of Blaugust, we have a prompt about favorite quotes…

Wilhelm Arcturus posits:
What is a favorite Quote/s, and tell us why.

I really am not sure why I am having difficulties with this question, but I am.

I would say one of my favorite quotes is “If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball” from Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, but that’s not really inspiring or anything, I just like it.

Actually, I’m gonna stick with it since I can’t really think of much else off the top of my head.

I suppose other quotes are kinda just catchphrases like “Live Long and Prosper” from Star Trek or “Never Give Up, Never Surrender” from Galaxy Quest but I like them and think they are much more inspirational.

I suppose on the whole though, I’m not a big quote type of guy…

Maybe “Game Over Man…” from the wonderful Bill Paxton in Aliens, but I guess I’m more of a catchphrase person than a quote person.

It’s a Wrap

Usually, I have a few quotes I can rattle off without any issues, but I guess since I’m on the spot for them today, I can’t bring any to mind. Perhaps I’m trying to be too profound or something, but my brain just isn’t working in that direction today.

Anyway, I think it’ll be interesting to see how Blaugust works out this year. We already had Blapril, and I think that was a resounding success, but we’re all still socially distancing because of COVID.

With everyone still indoors, I think Belghast has come up with a great idea for Blaugust, and I’m all on board. We can interact and stay distanced by promptapalozzaing.
