Where in WDW?

I love Walt Disney World. I have since I can remember, and I’m still blown away by the magic of that place even as an adult. When we lived in Florida, we would go about once a month, and I never got tired of it. However, now that we live in Texas, we don’t get to go as often. But that doesn’t stop the obsession. I often tell people that Walt Disney World is my hobby, it just happens to be an expensive hobby. That is why when I can’t go to WDW, I talk about it, plan for it, research it, read about it, message board about it, blog about it, and now tweet about it.

I’ve started something that I call “Where in WDW?” I’m not the first to do this, in fact I was inspired by a podcast that I listen to and the official WDW blog where they have a similar kind of trivia. What I have been doing is tweeting (which links to my Facebook status) a simple question starting with the phrase “where in WDW”

These questions could ask where you would hear something and then it features a quote from an attraction. They could ask where you would find something, asking about perhaps something written or a particular location. I might ask where you would smell something or eat something, or where you would hear some musical lyric. This little trivia game gives all my Disneyphiles out there a chance to put their knowledge to the test, and gives me a chance to see if I can stump anyone. If you like WDW like I do, check out my Twitter/Facebook for “Where in WDW?”

Save Blue Like Jazz

So, a few years ago I read the book Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. I liked it so much, that year for Christmas I gave a copy to all my friends. The author, who I follow on Twitter, wrote another book that chronicles his process of making that book into a film. They had a screenplay and a cast all ready to start filming in October.

But there was a problem.

There wasn’t enough funding. They needed the cash to make it happen. And you can help. If you go to kickstarter.com and search for “Save Blue Like Jazz.” Or you can just go to savebluelikejazz.com, whatever works. Kickstarted.com gives people a chance to fund a project with a goal and a due date. If the goal is not met by the due date, no money changes hands. I pledged to give $25 to this project. It’s not much, but if everyone who felt moved by this book helps we can make this dream a reality. If you liked the book, if it touched you, if it helped you to grow in your walk with God, then you can give back. You can do something so that others can experience what you did in a whole new way.

Whale Fail

I hate it when Twitter is over capacity. That’s really all I wanted to do right now, and I can’t. I mean, I just wanted to see what my favorite celebrities were up to, but no. It’s not possible. There’s that stupid whale, telling me that I can’t get to my new favorite site.

Argh! I hate that whale! Just smiling and laughing, like everything is ok. Sure, you’re being lifted by a bunch of birds, while I’m here not knowing what Ryan Seacrest is doing right now. Where is the justice?

Ok, so maybe I’m a little too addicted to technology. I think I need a techno-break for a little while. I think the fact that Twitter is over capacity tonight is a sign, showing me that I need to take a step back from my computer and get into the real world. So what I will do, I will take a break from blogging for a few days. I’m gunna be the whale, floating (with the help of the birds). I’ll start as soon as a check my Twitter again.

Drat, still over capacity.
