Reflections 2016: Queen - We Are The Champions


Band:  Queen
Genre:  Classic Rock

We're gonna do a lovely thing here where I ramble about how I bumbled my way through another year of the A to Z.

I managed to not have the time to visit almost anybody's blog this year.  It really bummed me out actually cause I really liked the visiting aspect of last year's adventure.

Post wise though I feel like I'm a better writer than I was last year.  Yeah, my grammar sucks.  Yeah, my punctuation sucks.  Yeah, these short little sentences suck.  It's the way I talk, I was never really good with writing.  My bad.

Theme wise I liked this year's theme of going with a band and a music video as opposed to the albums from last year.  I think  it was a better idea that was more streamlined in its execution.

Honestly though I already blog every day.  Daily blogging is something I'm used to so the hardest part of the challenge was actually managing to keep it all in order.  I ended up keeping a running list of all the stuff I wanted to post but couldn't cause it didn't fit the theme.  That would be a load of Death Metal, Rap, and a few album reviews if you're interested.  Soon........

I've gotta go though, I'm writing this on 4 hours of sleep rom the show on Sunday and I have to be up in 5 hours.  Still though, thanks for reading and if you visited, thanks for visiting.  I'll still be here, so swing by again some time, eh?

EDIT 5-9-16:  Well dang, this sounds so much weirder reading it again.  I don't really know what I was thinking trying to write this at like, 11:30 at night instead of earlier in the day, but I suppose that really manages to sum up how I had been managing from the rest of the A to Z as well.

Congrats to all else who made it by the way, forgot to say that.  Cheers!

    1. Not gonna lie, when I realized the next day what I had chosen as my song I cringed a little cause of how stereotypical it was. Still, I feel it fits well enough to stay as I'm sure everybody else does too, haha

  6. I post daily too so that part wasn't so bad! It must be a huge jump to anyone who usually only posts once or twice a week!

    1. Woo, three cheers for the dailys!

      For real, the hardest part was just organizing toward the end. A lot of those I ended up coming up with the night before like most of my normal posts and trying to stick with the alphabet properly was hella difficult. Managed though, that that's what counts.

      Congrats on winging all yours this year, massive respect for pulling that off all the way through.

  7. Never too late to find a new blog as I begin to read the Reflections list. Your theme was well suited to the #Challenge when you never know who is going to visit when. May I suggest one thing.....if your grammar sucks, your punctuation suck, you write with short choppy sentences......why would I return? Promise me you will stop shooting yourself in the foot and just have at it like you own the world. YOU deserve to be that good to yourself. Have fun, write, don't apologize. Cheers.

    1. Yeah, I have a rather poor habit of typing the way I talk. Generally it's not too bad a thing, but if I try and do it when I'm tired I tend to hem and haw a lot which translates into choppy sentences.

      It kills me because my mom is a book editor and I know she reads my posts. I can only imagine how much she must roll her eyes sometimes at what I write.

  8. I'm a fellow A to Z survivor and I too failed at visiting as many other sites as I would have liked. LOVE the music theme.
