Why is your nickname "danimal0416"?

Here's the two-part answer:

Danimal - the Official License Plate My name is Dan. When I was in college, a colleague of mine nicknamed me D'animal' because of the exuberance I displayed when we partied together. I was this way without having to be drunk, mind you. A few years later I became a Christian, and the nickname stuck, only this time because of my zeal for God.

0416. My birthday is April 16th. Please feel free to send me early and belated birthday wishes as you wish.  Also, see what other events took place on April 16th.

What are "guideposts"?

Guidepost n.

  1. A post with a sign giving directions for travelers, usually placed at a crossroad.
  2. Something that serves as a guide or an example; a guideline.

So add any thoughts, advice, praise, criticism, witticisms, tips (aka "guideposts") you have. Way easier than scrawling on the monitor...

What is Jazzmania Productions, Ltd. - the Official License Plate?

Jazzmania Productions Icon

It's the fictional name of a company that I might form one day. The name originated when I was in high school. I was really into jazz music at that time. There was a club at school called Future Business Leaders of America, or FBLA for short. I thought it would be cool to have a club called Future Jazz Men of America, and I offered to be the founding member and president. I came up with the word jazzmania to describe how I felt.

What is the "Mooch List" and why should I be concerned about it?

The "Mooch List" is a list of people who stop by to visit the blog and never leave a comment. You know who you are. You visit the blog and you take and take, without giving anything back. You need to get off the "Mooch List."

What does it mean to become an "Official" of your weblog?

Being an Official of the weblog simply involves you checking back in from time to time to give an update on yourself. There is no other cost to you. You can become an "Official" anything you like. In return for you being an Official of the weblog, I will add you to a designated place in my list of favorite links. Examples of Officials include, the Official Iowan, the Official Fiction Author, the Official Canuck, and so on. Currently, Mark C. Morris occupies the office of Official Iowan.

Send me an email or leave a comment stating what kind of official you'd like to become.

Why so many blogs?

Well, Take a 'Journey Inside My Mind' started as a catch-all type of journal, with some personal stuff, Letters to God, quotes, creative writing, and other stuff. I decided to branch off to the other blogs so that they would be more specific in their content, so that people could more readily find the stuff in them that they wanted. This has proved to be a good idea, because people can search for quotes, Letters to God, job hunting advice, and creative writing stuff and better find what they are looking for.
