What’s This All About?

Once upon a time, there was a little, oddly-shaped hermit girl who lived in a small, hippie-inspired apartment in a big city far, far away from home.  She had opinions on lots of things and felt like dedicating her life to a cause greater than herself.  Without being able to go outside for fear of the stupidity of society,  and with nothing to contribute to the world but her loudmouthed mockery, she made a pact with herself to reignite her blog and to post every single day in 2011.   And in a true display of creativity and wit, she named it The Jackie Blog.

Check out the introduction of its rebirth here.

After successfully writing a post every day in 2011 and gaining a surprising and lovely following, Jackie trudged onward in her quest to maintain her blog in 2012, vowing to post every Wednesday and perhaps even jaunt about for a Lollipop Tuesday or two.

If you don’t know what a Lollipop Tuesday is, you should probably check out the other tab at the top of this page, aptly labeled, “What’s Lollipop Tuesday?”

or you can just click here. 

Welcome to the gooey insides of my brain.  Stay a while.  It’s warm. ♣

    I love the idea of a blog rebirth. I haven’t read much yet, but your intro is intriguing. You’re right, the world has plenty of people crying, which is OK, but who’s going to help it be reborn?

    You have a great blog, and an excellent wit, I’m glad you were Freshly Pressed so I could “discover” you (like a Starbucks in NYC). I must ask, what is in that peculiar banner of yours?

      Thanks, thanks, and thanks! So glad to have you here.

      As for the banner – I needed something kind of silly that didn’t look too homemade so I flipped through some pics of a photographer friend of mine and cropped this. I’ve been told it’s a stuffed animal character from the tv cartoon “Yo Gabba Gabba”. Google search confirms this is true.

      I’ve actually commissioned a graphic artist to design me an upgrade – something more tuned to my blog and much, much brighter. I can’t wait until it’s ready!

      Thanks, Li! I really appreciate it – what a groovy concept. I wonder if I can even scrounge up that many people to pass it on to… THE PRESSURE.

    Please don’t stop!! You give me a reason to read, other than work! To me, it’s a laugh a day, no pressure or anything, but I need my fix! Not stalking or anything, just enjoying your humor.
