Hands up all those of you who haven’t been affected by blogging in one way or another? I’m willing to bet that there are quite a lot of you out there who, like myself, originally took up blogging as a way of making money, or of promoting one site or another, but have now fallen in love with it. I have to admit that no matter what I’m doing blogging is lurking somewhere in the thought processes of my mind.
Honestly there are even times when while making love to my wife a blog post suddenly pops into my head and it’s all I can do to stop myself from climbing off of her and rushing to the computer so I can write up a new post. Shit, I know that if I do that she’s going to put my balls through the wringer, honestly kids if you don’t know what a wringer is you should ask your mom, but then if I don’t the climax is going to blow it right out of my head. It’s really a no win situation, except for the mind blowing sex part that is. 
Anyway, it was about 4 a.m. while at work, I’m wearing shorts and it was about 2.5C when I had this sudden light bulb moment and this post just popped into my head. I’ve seen a lot of memes out there and it’s quite possible that someone else has already done it, but I thought it would be a great idea if we could share with each other something unique about the place where we live. It could be your home town or it could even be homeland.
Let me explain. I’ve already done a few posts about things that are unique to Australia. There was the one about an actual living tree house where a husband and wife brought up their family. Then there was the one about The Whispering Wall which is a dam with unique acoustics that allows people from each end to whisper to each other. Lastly I did a post on The Morning Glory Cloud, once again something that is unique to Australia.
OK, now I know that I get people from all over the world who pop in to read my posts and I know a whole lot of them are bloggers, who may occasionally be stuck for something to write about. Well not only will this give you something interesting to write about, it should also lead to some incoming links. All you have to do is write a post about something unique or interesting about where you live, linking to this post and asking your readers to do the same. Drop me an email once you’ve done that including a link to your post and I will post that link on this post just under this heading.
Naturally it would be embarrassing for me me if no-one took this on so I would appreciate it if you didn’t let me down. Naturally you should also Tweet or stumble this post to get the word out. :tongue_wink_ee:
Interesting And Unique Places Around The World
Meditation Center: Ramana who lives in Pune India has just written a post, complete with picture, of something that unique to where he lives.
San Bernardino California: Josiah’s post tells you about McDonald’s birthplace and how the hot rods storm past Route 66 on a yearly basis. Thanks Josiah, that was really an interesting post.

Oh, yeah, something else we have that’s unique is the biggest rocking horse in the world.

We’re an anomaly, central New York. We have the world’s most polluted lake in Onondaga Lake, then the number one best tasting water in the country about 40 miles south from Skaneateles Lake, as voted on in some big contest last year. Of course, we’re also known as the land of a thousand lakes, although that’s obviously an exaggeration, but we have water all over the place, fresh drinking water that other states are now clamoring for.
And they can’t have it! lol :twisted_wp:

Cool maybe you can send some down here. We would have more but the other states keep pinching it, something that I reckon they would have been shot for if they did it in the States in the days of the old Wild West.
Check out what Sire recently posted..The Validity Of Old Sayings As Per Email
Heck, if we’re not sharing with other states, we’re not sharing with anyone! lol
Truthfully, it’s my belief that within 10 years New York will be forced to share water with other parts of the country that don’t have much. That should be an interesting Supreme Court challenge when it happens.

Now while that would be something to see it’s not quite unique as far as the US goes.
I’ve never thought about other countries fighting over this same type of thing. Meanwhile, I count 4 typos and one really weird sentence. I think that beats my 1 for 5 of my posts.

All bloggers have this passion writing about their certain niche but this is my first time to read about stopping themselves while making love because suddenly an idea just pop out in their heads lol. What is unique about where I live is the fact that I live in a narrow place with interesting kinds of people. Just like living in a jail cell lol.
Cool, why not write a post on it and stick in a photo so we can share a little of your experience.

Wow, Sire. Blogging has become a fairly large part of my life though I don’t think it’s consumed me quite as much as you’ve described in your experiences (haha!) Thanks for sharing!

Hmm, that actually happened to me before (while making love with my wife then a good topic to write comes to mind…) though I was powerless that time to write after the deed, good thing I was able to remember the idea the following morning.
I haven’t tried writing about the place where I grew up before, but I think it could only be a hit if many are really loyal in following every blog post I publish.
But anyway, I enjoyed reading this one and I also realized something, that I may have to practice photography (referring to Ramana’s blog entry). Thanks for the great read Sire :)

Yep congrats on the win. Somehow though I don’t think there is anything unique about corrupt officials.

Been a resident in India for quite a while and I gotta say this – it’s a good country with good people but they need to pep up their lives a bit. Many average families in India lead such monotonous lives, it boggles me – but I guess they are used to living this way. Many men, here in India, are ardent workaholics who seems to slave away their whole lives so they can get their daughters married.
Well of course they want to get their daughters married, it would cost them too much to have them stay at home.

I actually fell in love with blogging before I knew it as blogging. Probably about 2002 some friends got me into the world of Live Journal. Granted, I got into that mainly to keep up with some friends, but there is a weird love you can develop for having anyone in the world being able to read your thoughts. It is oddly addictive.
PS – WOW, that is quite the rocking horse, indeed!
Yep, and although it doesn’t actually rock you do get quite a view if you climb up it.
