Is that a challenge I smell?

I read a lot of blogs.  I find them fascinating and more genuine than the daily newspaper.  Maybe it's indicative of my personality.  Blogs today are the social section of newspapers a century ago.  You know that section I'm talking about...Mr. Williams and wife welcome a baby girl, their third.  Mr. Jones rode into town today.  He bought bobby pins for Mrs. Jones.  Bobby Jim Bob has a rash.  That section was an easy way to stay in the loop.  Yes, Facebook serves that purpose for my inner circle.  Blogs, however, allow me to live vicariously through dozens of people (strangers) my age.  I go on their adventures, watch their kids grow up, take comfort in their failures, and rejoice in their success when achieving a dream.  Reading blogs keeps me a dreamer.  Witnessing other people's lives in action motivates me to do more with my own life.  I think it's a Taurus thing.  Carpe Diem!

Anywho, I'm rambling.  In all of my blog reading, I've seen multiple bloggers attempt the 30 Day Blog Challenge.  My Taurus instincts flare when I see or hear the word challenge.  Like a bull to a red cape, I'm a sucker for a challenge.  The 30 Day Blog Challenge sounds simple in theory.  It begins with a list of 30 things and each of those things is a prompt for a daily blog post.

I have yet to see one blogger complete the challenge.  So, of course, I want to throw my hat in the ring.  Who knows, maybe this challenge will meet the untimely death that my 365 Photo Challenge did, but I'm willing to give it a go like I do most everything else.  I thought it would be fun to try.  I might learn a few things about myself in the process.
