Dancing with the Stars Winner Shawn Johnson
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: May 21, 2009
I am thinking with Shawn Johnson winning the Dancing with the Stars finale they might need to stop allowing gold medal winners from competing. I think anyone who has done a physical activity at that level that involves both art and skill like in Gymnastics and Figure Skating will likley win. Kristi Yamaguchi won and [...]
Hallmark Keepsake Christmas Ornaments & Website Issues
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: November 10, 2008
I have been a Hallmark Keepsake Christmas Ornament fan since the late 1980’s when we discovered them. I was in Jr high at the time and the thought that a Christmas tree ornament could commemorate anything you want it to was liberating and fun. We ended up buying several ornaments each year until we had [...]
Mailbox Drop
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: November 4, 2007
I noticed that the neighbors here have gotten a new mailbox and it’s on their house and not by the curb. I guess that is the old fashioned style rather than the suburban style. A lot of people in Oak Park like vintage stuff and I guess it makes sense with the age of the [...]
Weekend

I am going to relax this weekend. Things have been far to crazy latley for my liking. I have had a lot going on at work, at home and with my personal life. I feel that there has been a lot of stuff happen and be determined about the rest of my life that I [...]
Chicago Business Blogging Conference
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: September 17, 2007
Today we were blessed with a visit of some colleagues from another office half way across the country. They exclaimed when they arrived (in a very noisy and disupting fashion) that there were no Hotels in Chicago because there is some Blogging conference going on this week. (What does that mean they have to sleep [...]
My Blog Stats
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: September 8, 2007
I am always amazed by how many people ready my blogs. (including you) I don’t know you personally, and I am not a professional writer or media property, yet you find my writing interesting enough to read. And it even seems to be international now. One of the terms I see listed as a search [...]
Garden Windmills
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: September 1, 2007
With gardening being so popular right now, I have seen a lot of people buying ornamental sculptures and decorations to make their gardens more personal. One thing that is popular in the midwest is the mini windmill. These don’t generate electricity like the old ones did, but they are cute and add a fun flair [...]
Christopher Walken cooks chicken – yes it’s really him
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: August 25, 2007
This was odd in that it is pretty serious like a cooking show. Everyone likes his voice so much, maybe he should star in a cooking show. I bet people would tune in to watch.
Allergies
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: July 1, 2007
I have been sick from my allergies for the past few days and not really writing anything here on the blog. I am not sure why I only developed allergies as an adult, but I can’t seem to get rid of them either. I take claritin D for the constant sinus goo that my body [...]
Want to become a writer?
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: June 26, 2007
I know I have thought that writing a book in my spare time that could sell and become an extra source of income and possibly a career change later on. But its a daunting task if you have never written anything as long as a book before and you may be procrastinating because of that. [...]
Particls News by RSS on your desktop
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: June 21, 2007
I got a blurb in an email about a new RSS fed desktop widget/ticker software/service a few months ago and signed up to find out when it would be publicly available, and I am excited to say that it is available now. I downloaded Particls and have it running on my work computer and it is [...]

The commercial holiday season has hit us again.
And likewise I am out of cash for the season.
That didn’t take long.
Here’s a great flickr group about the commercialization of Christmas.
Happy Holidays!
