free writing: hanging out with schnarfelpopper and wafflepants Schnarfelpopper and wafflepants decided to take a walk, where they were going no one knows. Who they were....we haven't figured that out yet, but something tells me we will towards the end. As they walk along their boardwalk, they discuss having a PHP page that loads and displays that individuals blog from a MySQL database, they disuss the the various way to accomplish this idea and they discuss the programmer who is programming them down the path of enlightenment. Does he know what he is doing? Should they probe his brain to help him figure out the simplest way to accomplish his task or should they wait patiently for him to program them into the database. Does he understand the complexities of the program, will he be able to fit wafflepants into the code correctly so the style is set for each page. Will Schnarfelpopper be correctly embedded into the journal so he can do his bidding upon the page and what about flash fried weasel, will he come into being? Do they really want a flash fried weasel hanging out with them on each page, will he become a nuisance to the program? As they continue to talk amongst themselves, they realized they must wait and see how he, the programmer, does with the information he has before they take over the code and make it happen. As you see Schnarfelpopper is just a code that makes popping noises when he's unhappy, wafflepants is his side-kick that makes sure the cascading waterfalls are wide enough and stylish enough to fit and flash fried weasel is the weird little character tracking superfluous feedback. And as the ending of all weird little stories must end..we must wait and see if schnarfelpopper, wafflepants and flash fried weasel ever make it into being as their journey has just began. thanks jesse for the idea. This might actually be a little more than a free writing exercise, I had to figure out an ending but in the idea of free writing, it took a life of its own. 11:38:19 PM    comment [] trackback [] Free Writing free writing..word for the day: NAME, choose the right NAME what's in a name its just a word that lets everyone know who you are its a name of an object that we have so describe to be that word its a place, a thing, a person, a who, a whatits but its just a word what is a word just letters on a page that spell something and who came up with this idea of naming things, people and places where did these letters come from and why do they spell something? what's in a name? and how does one choose the right name my cats were named because they looked like something to me wubbie, turtle, mouse, spanky and baby kitty there were more at one point, Lu, Mommy Kitty, Meme and Smelly Cat and does a name of something, person or place hold a special meaning for each of us choose the right name does the wrong name hurt us in some way? what does choosing the right name mean? 11:03:47 PM    comment [] trackback [] Free Writing
