BACK FROM UNPLANNED SABATTICAL



I am back from an unplanned absence from the Enigma Cafe....back to Blogland, I need to get caught up and check on everyone.
I was trying to share a computer with a 15 year old, it became too much of a battlezone, so I took a break. ( And yes, I did also take some time to work on THE BOOK....I am still trying to finish it by Christmas). I did alot of thinking about Blogland. I am wondering if I should open a New Blog- and call it the Enigma Cafe- a place to reflect and think and gather and share ( or is that commiserate?). I originally started Watergate Summer in 2005 , thinking that perhaps it would be like the summer of my teens when Nixon's Gang got caught and the Corruption Unraveled. But here it is Fall of 2006 , and I am tired of waiting for Another Watergate Summer, tired of waiting for the Unravel of this Criminal Regime. Let me know if you think I should open up an Enigma Cafe Blog-it would be like this blog- just more Writing and gathering ( and less YouTube and Videos).Let me know what you think....thanks for Coming Back...

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

See Below for Some YouTube Treats- a Wonderful Robert Service Halloween Treat (Creepy Ol' Fella and Creepy Sound Effects).
And then a Japanese Mind Bender...Enjoy. New post up tomorrow on Both Blogs....

I'd say it's up to you but that would leave you where you started. :>)
My reaction to The Enigma Cafe is, Yes! Do it! It has a great ring to it...

Yes. That's my answer and I'm sticking with it!

Peace.

Hey PM...Thanks for the Input...You know that I value your literary opinion....I still need artistic help to redesign my Tmeplate- cause this one is so lovely...I hate to give it up...( if you know anyone with creative talents that could help that would be great...)

I could give you some input on that. let me know. By the way... Oops... It isn't Marley on my latest post... It is Heru the spoken word poet.

Peace.

enigma4ever said...

PM: Sorry...that came out wrong- what I meant to say is that he is soothing like Marley on Friday night...does that make any sense?
And yes I would love your input- I think the new Blog should look like Hopper's Painting of a late night Cafe...
whatcha think???

enigma,
soothing like Marley on Friday night...does that make any sense?

Nope. Sorry. ;>)

Hey... Hoppers painting sounds great!

If you need anything in the template area just let me know and I will see what I can do.

Before you do anything here, or at another blog address, make sure you upgrade to Blogger Beta first. If you do it will be like riding a bike, the changes.

I have not switched to Beta on my main blog- too many changes and template code at this juncture in my blog. I'm working on it. I have switched it on my additional sub-blogs and it is so easy to manipulate after that. With the template you have now here it would be a great thing to go Beta and it will make your life so much simpler.

Let me know.

Peace.

PM: I should explain- mr 15 plays Marley on Friday nights- and walks around singing-humming Poetry- and talking Jamacian (ipoding and sometimes he plays it for me)...."talking poems"- so for me it is a Comforting sound....about the Cafe- still in rouch form...I am staying clear of Beta for now, only because I am on MAC- and everytime they make a switch it isn't neccessarily smooth for me..but maybe later...you can email me off line:enigma4ever@earthlink.net, and maybe we talk more ideas-you have more creativity than me....I just want the new place (blog) to look nice- feel good for the patrons..

1st time, @ will look in on the EC as it gets going.
Yeah, one would figure something would pop with this administration, as many times as they've been caught in the "untruths" ; (
We can only hope....Cheers!

Peacechick Mary said...

Wherever you go, look behind you as there will be a mob of fans following. Jes, do your thing!

Anon-Paranoid said...

Welcome back enigma. Seems like only yesterday since I filled up my coffee cup.

I'll definitely will visit your new cafe if you decide to open it.

God Bless.

The Future Was Yesterday said...

I give up. Where's the keyboard in that "battlezone?" If you have a deposit law in your state, the kid can buy himself a new puter with that cache!:)

enigma4ever said...

THE FUTURE: WOW...you are right where the hell is the keyboard??? and gee the Mouse is missing too....oh no...

ANON: thank you so much..new posts up tomorrow..on Both blogs...good to see you.

Peacechick: thanks- I hope folks have patience with me- New Construction is hard for me...but hopefully I can both up and running in no time..\

Coffee Messiah: So exciting to have an actual coffee king here....wow...

Hey the cafe sounds good but let us know where you are, if that happens.

Switching to blogger beta is o.k there are some good hacks for it, for instance, the minama dark template, I made into 3 columns.

Sounds like a good idea though, keep us posted.

New names and new places are fun & exciting! I'm sure everyone will pop in as soon as you open the doors. But remember it's not just the excellent cafe menu, much as I like my midnight toasted bialy, it's that most astute, wisecracking, hostess-with-a-heart named enigma. The one who always offers everyone a comfy chair at the round table before plopping herself down, propping her feet up, cracking her knuckles & with a devilish gleam in her eyes, says "coffee's on the house, but you gotta clean up your own spills." ~~ D.K.

I'll be happy with whatever you decided...I'll follow you anywhere. Glad you're back...

love the picture!!! and sharing anything with a teen is difficult!! good luck!

NEWSGUY said...

Right now I have a bunch of teens in for a teen Halloween party. They are telling ghost stories in a dark room. They have eaten enough hot dogs and chips to have fed the 82nd Airborne. They went out trickortreating, without Halloween costumes. It was plain ordinary extortion. They screech. They laff. They talk about nothing in a language I do not quite understand. Who ARE these people?

Frederick said...

Sounds great. Are you going to stay with Blogger? We've been having grande difficulties as of late with them.

Wed Am Nov1st.All Saints Day....

First Off to the Troll : We all are waiting for the end of this criminal regime- and I really don't need some chickenshit "anony" idiot to leave messeges here- because then i just have to get out my broom and sweep the ignorance out the door. If you want to support Criminals- that is fine , there are plenty of empty pathetic Lonely Red Blogs needing your "input".Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

Fred: I think I will stay with Blogger-don't think I am ready to take the Beta plunge yet.

Newsguy: Sounds like you had a wonderful Halloween....sigh.

AZ, Sumo and DK I am working on the new site- I will let you know when it is ready....

Sorry I have been distracted...

enigma4ever said...

As I have said before the Enigma Cafe is for Friends...
a place to gather and talk, think and vent, Trolls are not Welcome. We all have names and are good to each other, we support each other during this evil Regime.I will continue to Sweep the Premises of Trolls. Sorry Folks.

( BTW this picture is someone else's desk, but it represents how Blogland feels these days....too much trash- have to keep sweeping....)

Just make sure we all get your new address m'dear. I would hate to have to look high and low for my favorite E4E..
