I’m thinking outside the box this week, swimming in unchartered waters, opening my eyes to new possibilities, familiarizing myself with unfamiliar territory, whatever phrase works best for you—that’s what I’m doing this week. I’m shooting for that steemit-board badge that says “Congratulations, you posted every day this week!” Typically I’m a two-fer, a three-fer on rare occasion including #fff but I can’t think of the last time I did that. In the year and a half that I’ve been on this platform, my record number of releases for one week is four and I only did that once. I’m going for seven this week—“plan” is a #funny word, so is coincidence.

Well, I didn’t expect that! Check out this interesting turn of events. I went over to Pixabay just now to look for a cover image for this article. Ultimately, I’d like to find an image that says “four down, three to go!” I realize it’s unlikely I’ll find it so I typed in “Four down” and got this image—I didn’t even know they had naked chicks on their site?! 🤔 I still need a cover image too. Ok, there’s more to this story than just a steemit-board badge.

I want one of these signature gifs, danget! See how hip she looks inside that star?! Well, I suck at not getting my way so, rather than doing something like “Wa!! I want a personalized signature gif with my picture in it!” I’ll say ‘rather than doing something like’ before I proceed with the crying part.

There sure is a lot of emojis in this phone. You’ve only seen me use three, I use this one when I’m questioning something or concerned: 🤔 I use this one when I’m trying to be funny or trying to pass off a condescending comment as genuine: 😉 And, last but not least, my black thumb: 👍🏿 <— I have received more comments and questions about that black thumbs up than anything ever, in the #history of text messaging—true #story! So many of you have asked about it (you know who you are) and every single one of my friends in my phone has said something about it at some point, it’s interesting. “What’s with the black thumb dude?” Honestly, it just works all the time! You know how some phones or some apps, like discord, only select emojis can be used, right? Well, the black thumb works across all operating systems—there, now you know. I still don’t have a frikkin cover image!

What should I type about now? I know what I’m typing about tomorrow, well, I take that back. I don’t know-know, I just know it will be my @foodfightfriday contender and then I’ll have to figure out what to do for Saturday and Sunday. But, back to the original question in this paragraph: “What should I type about now?” So far I’m just expecting my thumbs to keep up with my thoughts and I’m impressed with how well they’re doing. I still need a cover image though—danget! Alright, I’m going to try harder this time. You’ll either see a picture under this paragraph or more #writing, we’ll find out together, I’ll be right back...

How’d I do? I typed in “four down,” then I tried “4 down” and... nothing. However, when I typed “three to go,” at Pexels, I found the above image—I’m going with it! Ok, now what? (Insert thinking emoji) 🤔 Did I ever tell you about the time I did a gainer into the fountain of the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas? No?? Well, that’s because it never happened—no way! But I did take this picture of the fountain last time Pura Vida and I were in Las Vegas:

A gainer, yeah right.. I only swan dive into public fountains followed by an inconspicuous exit while trying to disguise my pockets full of quarters. Have you ever done that? Not a swan dive, taken change from a public fountain? Yeah, neither have I. 😉 (unnecessary emoji) Do you think the length of this article is good enough to call it quits? I did a rather lengthy article on Monday and according to @cicisaja:

This is a 15-30 minutes read.. I'll be back after a few rounds of battling and rumbling 😂..

Eh, cicisaja, yeah you! I’m talking to you, little miss innocent Aceh sweetheart you, sweetest little chef on the whole got dang #blockchain you, yeah you—is this one better? Can you squeeze this one into your thumb to eye combat schedule or is it still too long? Steemmonsters Rumble Royale’s are no joke (copy cicisaja’s emoji). 😂

Thank you for reading these posts, thanks for continuing to support and promote what I’m doing around here—ya’all really know how to make a dude think he’s doing something right. Not me, of course, but there’s a dude somewhere who thinks that. Ok, it’s me who thinks that! I’ll be back tomorrow and Saturday and Sunday, too, don’t let me forget! I have an idea. 🤔 Join me tomorrow and post at kitchen #fff. All you have to do is give @foodfightfriday a follow and take some pictures of your dinner tonight. Unless, well, unless of course you don’t eat. In that case, just tell us about why you don’t eat, see—no excuses. Below are links to the articles I released earlier this week, stop by and check them out if you haven’t already—thank you, you’re the best! Enjoy the rest of your Thursday, #steemit, I’ll see you tomorrow.
