#48 – The Final Hoorah!

Derek Holtzman — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 04:00:54 +0000

Yaaay! Good job everyone! I just wanted to thank my sponsor again. You made what I did all worthwhile. Every piece of that was you, not me

Want to thank CJ for being an awesome monitor. Couldn’t have asked for a cooler one.

To everyone who posted: You all know who you are and how you helped me. Wouldn’t have meant anything without some company. Not only does this help charities, but it brings a community closer together. And really, that’s a spectacular thing. So, congratulations and amazing job all you blogathoners!

And to all my readers I want to thank you for attempting to trudge through my rambles to find some neat golden nugget. I hope you were able to take something away from reading what I wrote. Be it as simple as a smile, or as deep as a thought. Without you guys, I wouldn’t have reached the amount of hits that I ended up reaching, and realizing how far I’ve come. You were a great help to me even more than the charities I was supporting.

I’ve learned a lot, as I stated.

But my last lesson was that I’m definitely going to come back next year and do it!

#47 – What I Have Learned

Derek Holtzman — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 03:30:45 +0000

I definitely learned that there’s a limit to the amount of stuff my brain can dish out in a single sitting period. I’ve never been so out of ideas before. I’m sure I’ll think about all these things I should have posted about as I fall asleep tonight. Oh well, they’ll just be future posts!

There were so many other things I learned..

But most of all I learned that enough talking is enough talking! I’m done until 11 when I give the final farewell!

#46 – Wow..We’re Getting Close

I never thought this moment would come! Late 40s! I’m speechless. just 1 more hour and we’ll have ended the coolest blogathon ever. I’m excited and sad at the same time…

Incoming picture in a few minutes. I don’t get it. It’s always super tiny when I import a picture in. Sigh!

#44 – The Emote

*Sigh*!

Now I’ve gone from being bored to having too much to do! Darn everything happening at night! Sorry about the little lateness of this, I kinda got distracted.

Okay, new poll of the audience. What do you think my header should look like? Just kinda color like I have now? More shapes? Any ideas?

#42 – Calling All Superheroes

Derek Holtzman — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 01:08:15 +0000

It’s okay, CJ, you can sit down. You’re not needed this time. My friend said I should post what my favorite Superhero is. And, as much as I hate copying, I have to say Superman. The sole reason I say Superman is because of Bill’s statement in Kill Bill. It’s awesome, and I highly recommend you watch it if you haven’t. It puts Superman in a whole new light for me, easily placing him at the top

#41 – Yay!

I was listed to be 71st in the 100 top growing blogs! That doesn’t sound like much, but it made me happy =)

It’s representative of how far I’ve come in my path of socialness. (By the way, sometimes I make up words to fit my sentence. It’s kinda like my humor, it just sorta pops out occasionally.)

Thanks to all those who were visiting and supporting!

#40 – The Big 4-0

Derek Holtzman — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 00:06:30 +0000

Wow, can’t believe we’re in the 40s now. Still so long to go,though..4 hours. I’m ready to be done, how is everyone else hanging in there?

#39 – New Movie

Derek Holtzman — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 23:28:05 +0000

Ok, so what I’m thinking is taking the basic theme behind Cloverfield and expanding it further than it already is. If you step into Cloverfield knowing it’s a monster flik, but not knowing it’s a monster flik, that would be pretty cool. But what if you can go into a movie not even knowing what type of movie it was? You could do it 1 of 2 ways..purposefully deceive the public, or just keep it totally secret.

By deceive I mean have parts of comedy in the movie. So, when you make a trailer to the movie, you can use the comedic parts to present what appears to be a comedy. The movie might start out with that vibe, but soon a giant monster is coming and eating people and throwing buildings around. What’s being done now is nearly putting yourself in their shoes. They don’t know what the monster is, or that there is one. You, as the audience, know that there is one. If you take away that, then you have a “real life” feel to it.

Yes? No? Maybe so?
