Rants n Raves

Hello People Reading This Blog,
(All THREE OF YOU!! Yes, the numbers have gone up! But more on that later!)

It has been a whole week since my last post. Why? I hear you ask. Well to be frank, once I heard that there were scheduling conflicts and that there was only a slim chance (if ANY at all) in getting John Mayer to do a show in Perth I had to dig deep to keep this thing going.

Now that I’ve reassessed, I’ve decided that only good things can come of showing John Mayer (if he EVER even reads this blog – not holding my breath!) how much support he has here in Perth. GO PERTH! Or is that GO JOHN MAYER?!

Either way, John Mayer has taught me a lot through this blog, albeit indirectly. For example, I learned that at last count there were 509 other fans in Perth that LOVE his music SO MUCH that they were willing to join Facebook Groups and Follow Twitter Accounts to simply TRY and get him here (new count coming soon!) .

John Mayer also taught me that widgets are not as simple as they seem!

I also discovered that if you start a blog after being inspired by Julie & Julia and then win a Snuggie and then get a response from a massive Promo Company because of it – it can really make  you believe in the magic of fairy tales… or movies… or fairytale movies. WAS IT REALLY JUST A COINCIDENCE?!? I’m still baffled by the the chain of events that lead me here!

While all of these very important learnings have had quite significant impacts on the life of this blogger, the most valuable lesson of all came about 10 minutes ago when I learned the difference between ENTICE and INTICE. One tiny letter can change the entire validity of a campaign, trust me,  you DO NOT want to make this mistake – its REALLY embarrassing ! Let’s take a closer look as to why:

Entice means to attract by arousing hope or desire. Synonyms include lure, persuade, tempt, coax or tweedle. (Thanks to the Free Online Dictionary for this meaning!)

Intice IS A WORD THAT DOES NOT EXIST! Its a misspelling of entice. D’oh!
Now, let this be a lesson to all of you – if you spend too much time studying, like I have, simple things like this seem to slip through the cracks!

So, to John Mayer I must say: thanks for the all that you have taught me indirectly through this blog campaign. I’m going to use these valuable lessons to TRY and ENTICE you to Perth…

and prove to myself once and for all that the magic we see in art of all kinds really does exist!
