My Reality Show As Seen on the Internet

Finish the Sentence Friday“If they made a reality show about my life, it would be called…”

If they made a reality show about my life, it would be called something ridiculous because I’m ridiculous.

I thought about using my blog name, Crumpets and Bollocks, or my old blog name, Dribbles and Grits, but then I was thinking I needed something better. So then I was thinking I should name my reality show after the title idea I’m liking for my memoirs that I’m not writing, and that would be, “The Day Godzilla Did Not Attack Mars,” but it seems more like a novel title than a reality show name, so now I’m thinking I’d have to name my reality show, “The Headless Chicken,” because it completes me, and now I want to change the name of my blog.

I’m running everywhere in circles, getting no where faster than a treadmill will take you, and I have no idea where I’m going, what I’m doing, or why I’m doing it. I’m just going. I’m stuck in that chaotic moment between ruthless head chopping offness and becoming someone’s dinner, like a toddler stuck between the coffee table and entertainment stand standing strong in the glow of independence, yet on the brink of tumbling.

And you guys get to watch it, on this blog, in words, as stuff happens. More real than reality television, I focus more on editing how I express the plot as opposed to the plot itself. It’s also more boring and under-funded. But I do edit out half of my life, so I suppose it’s less real in that sense. Not to mention, frequently I substitute my own reality showing life as I know it in Wonderland. You can tell because I don’t have a niche, or any real organization of ideas for that matter, and I”m just everywhere on the internet like a free spirit bar hopping through Taylor Swift’s relationships.

I will admit though if a camera crew walked into my house right now to tape my family’s life, well most of my parts would be aired in the hospital where I’m being treated for a panic-attack-laced heart attack. Dare I confess the Hot Mess my life is in? My house is like this blog. Cluttery, filthy, and definitely offensive. My mental health? I’m not even sure how to tackle that future confession. There’s just not enough aspirin to prepare me for showing all of me to the world right now.

While I hate to change the name of my blog again, I’m kind of preferring The Headless Chicken to Crumpets and Bollocks. I’m almost tempted to create a Beta blog of it and see how it rolls.

So what do you guys think?

There’s a famous headless chicken named Mike who survived for 18 months after his head was cut off. 18 months. That’s like a year and a half! Click the image to go to the website…

  1. I don't think you should change the name of your blog. I haven't been following you for that long, but the name "Crumpets and Bollocks" made me want to check out your page and it just seems to...well, fit. The headless chicken...IMO it's overused. We all have those moments in our life where we feel like that headless chicken and honestly, that name doesn't inspire me to click on your blog. Crumpets and Bollocks does - I saw that and thought...hey, I want to check that out. And, you did not disappoint. I'll be watching to see what happens! In a not-a-creepy stalker kinda way, of course.

  2. I SO understand feeling like a headless chicken. If it makes you feel any better, I have felt like one for the last 2 days. Argh! I love your blog name already though, b/c I've always loved the word "crumpets." Funny thing here-- even though I know you're not British, I still "hear" your voice in a British accent when I read your work! :) ~Julia

  3. I love it when people have you vote for stuff on their blog! It's like my favorite thing ever. Yeah, I'm a total weirdo who likes quizzes and voting for random stuff. And yes, I'm also running in circles like a crazy person in a house full of chaos. Sounds like I'm in good company. :)

  4. Here by way of the fabulous Kristi (Finding Ninee) and the artwork-- the rest of my little family is quite obsessed with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic right now. I suppose it was inevitable, but I'm still much more partial to The Powerpuff Girls (same husband & wife duo worked on that one, too).

    • LOL... What happened was a long time ago, I was deeply obsessed with Insane in the Mom-Brain, and I got this bright idea to draw a unicorn for her like My Little Pony, but with a spork on the butt (she threatens to spork people in the taint), and then I drew a mustache on it (she frequently poses with fake mustaches) and things like that. Well, then she had me do another one that she named Lord Burgess Atwood, and he has rainbow hair, a mustache, a monocle, and a top hat (because he's fancy like that). Both unicorns are available for sale on various products on Zazzle via her store, but I still had the basis of the unicorn, so when Finish the Sentence Friday was looking for new banners, I decided to use that unicorn base and switch it up a bit. But thank you for loving it. That's my art work as defined by an anime tutorial.

  5. Ok so I didn't vote because I LOVE both of the names and also I want to know more about your panic/heart attack - are you okay??? I hope you're okay. I'm all over the place too and is that for real? The 18-months without a head chicken? I have to go look. Seriously, that's insane!!! And are you okay? And thank you so so much for hosting and for thinking up this week's sentence!!!

  6. Hi: I'm voting for Crumpets and Bollocks, because I really don't see you as a headless chicken. You might be running around like headless chicken, but you are creating a good home for your girls and Rafa. Chickens can't get that done.

  7. Although the Headless Chicken expresses how you feel, I think Crumpets and Bollocks sounds better. It rolls off the tongue and quite frankly sounds more interesting than a site about someone running around in circles. Of course, this is only for a season, so you'll figure it out. In the meantime, enjoy the family. They love watching you run in circles. LOL!
