That’s right, just when you thought it was safe to go back in the proverbial blogging water, here I am with my hand out again. I’m trying to get votes for my son’s band. “What?” you say, “We already voted for your son’s band!” you say. Well this is yet another contest and I could bore you with the details but, it may just be better to say, cast a vote for Diabology here:
and then read the details if you’re truly interested.
By the way, you can vote as many times as you are able until the contest ends on Dec. 30, so anything you can do is greatly appreciated. Also, because there are so many voters, the site keeps crashing making it even more annoying. It’s usually busiest in the evenings.
In other news, since I have my hand out so often, I hear that there is a poem about me circulating around the internet. You guys don’t think it’s true, do you??
There’s once was a blogger Marissa
Whose poems were really a pisser
She had quite a noggin
But then she stopped bloggin’
And some said they really did miss her
Then one day her blog reappeared
But readers found it a bit weird
‘Twas only the labor
Of asking a favor
Of all of her put upon peers
So politely disguised as a comedy
And sometimes with a lame apology
Here’s another she’s wrote
To elicit a vote
For her son’s metal band Diabology
So be you not fooled by her ditties
Her words may be clever and witty
But she’s really quite sad
And perhaps a bit mad
But at least cast a vote out of pity.
lol! As long as you posted a poem, I will vote. Actually, I’ve already voted. I hope that they win!!!
Thank you Rob! Glad you were able to get on! Yes, it really isn’t fair if there isn’t a poem, now is it?
No, so make sure you get back to writing. You have been missed!!! ❤
I think I did it right. I mention it to Zoolon. He’ll know. If not I’ll do it again, young Marissa.
The trick is usually getting the page to load. If you saw images, you probably had some amount of success. In any case, your efforts are greatly appreciated.
I saw images, Marissa. What a profound thing to say!
Oh dear, not again…
Svet was there, I’m sure she was.
Yes, I’m fairly certain she’s in the lead!
The page loading is really very slow but voting all the same as you had one of your usually hilarious poems posted alongside the request
Thank you Geetha! Long time no see and good to see you’re doing well. The site seems to be completely down today. Maybe a merry Christmas to us?
Welcome Marissa. Unfortunately the page did not load, yes, though I tried a few times. I have not been blogging or reading regularly. Good to read from you
He caught me stuffing a pizza. Yes, he got it right for once. I’ve voted and shared on Twitter. I hope you win.
Some kind of record I’d say! Thanks for all your help!
Haha! You are awesome, Marissa! As long as you are asking for our favor with so much creativity you will have all our votes… lol! Hope you are doing well and be sure that I did miss you!!
Thank you for your support Erika! I can always count on you!
You definitely can 😉 Will vote again tomorrow!!
Thank you so much!
You are very welcome, Marissa (voting done again😉)
Too cool! Thank you Erika!
You are most welcome! I hope he makes it!!
I did something that may have been voting. Hopefully my email address will get me a lot more junk mail.
Oh yeah, I conveniently left out that fun fact about the email address. FYI, I have yet to receive any junk mail from them, but who knows??
Done did it! (I think….)
Thank you Colleen! Why can’t these sites be more straight forward?!!
It’s the ongoing decline of common sense. It affects everything….
I wouldn’t know, I never had any…
Well, then technically you cannot be held responsible for the decline, if you never had any to begin with…..
Done! They’re in the top 5! Woohooo! I really hope they win!
Me too! Thanks you Maida!
well done – always magical lines and with positive energy – you always have my support:)
Thanks so much Mihrank!
Thank you Mihrank!
Finally able to vote!
Thanks Syl! I know it can get annoying with the way the site doesn’t load so I really appreciate it!
You’re welcome, Marissa! I can keep going at it until the 30th!
That’s awesome! Whatever you can do.
Cool!
Voted!
Thank you Andrew!
Voted.
Well, I’m a hopin’
She continues her poetic words
That are truly smokin’
Be they nouns or be they verbs
If she does
There’ll be much to cheer
And the buzz
Will give us a great New Year.
🙂
Thanks Don! I’ll do my best and appreciate your vote!
I hope your son’s band wins, Marissa! And it really is good to read your poetry again. You’ve been missed!!! 🤗
Thank you Amy! I’d ask if you’d gotten a chance to vote by the site has been so dreadfully slow…I’m afraid I could only guess what the answer would be! Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season!
Marissa, please don’t throw rocks at me. I deleted my FB account and I cannot vote unless I sign in. I have my reasons why I am not doing this … just suffice it to say it is based on principal. Crossing fingers he wins!! I am having a truly Blessed Holiday! Thank you! 🤗
Who’s throwing rocks? Merry Christmas Amy!
LOL! Merry Christmas, Marissa!! 💞🎄💞
Their server was busy, Marissa but I will come back to vote for them!! Diabology will win Again, by golly!! ✨🌟🎶🎼🎵
Yes, voting has been really frustrating for us to but we appreciate your efforts and kind wishes!
You’re welcome! I left a new message so you know I came back twice!! Go, Jesse and band! 🎵🎶🎸
Happy Spring and music is such an important way to celebrate! Rock on, Cheesebergens! 😎 🎸🎤🎶🎼
You have my vote every time you ask, rocker girl! XOXOX
Thank you Lara!
I got through and only had to leave my email address. You don’t have to be on Facebook, I think I got the verification notice, they sent to my email. Yay, go Diabology!! You rock!
🎸🎹🎤
Sorry, have you voted today? Site has been down for us for the past two days but some are saying they are getting through.
I did get through on the 27th, but it allowed me to use my email address instead of Facebook. Maybe it was the FB connection which was “down?!” I do believe I voted! Yay!
Cheers to 2018 and good news for the band. My vote’s in. 🙂
Thank you Olga! They actually did make it one to the compilation!
Nice! 🙂
Whatever it takes to hear from you … and with a poem too!! 🙂
… but it sure wasn’t easy to vote!! I see from the response to Robin that the site was down for 2 days. That explains a lot. I think my vote went through this morning though. It did say it was ‘successful’ 🙂
Thank you Joanne! That site was driving us crazy so I know it was a lot to try to get anyone to vote that didn’t actually have a vested interest…lol! They got on the compilation though so… I guess it paid off!
Yay! The effort was worth it 🙂
I did cast a vote a few days back, hope the system took it. Good luck to your son and your whole family in all your 2018 musical endeavors. Annabelle
Thank you! They did end up getting on the compilation and your vote is very much appreciated. I know it wasn’t easy!
I really enjoyed the poem. However, I went to the link and tried to see where to vote. And I couldn’t find it. Then it hit me…this was last year. I think its too late, right?
It was actually last month but thank you for your efforts!
As you probably wondered, I’ve been absent from everything and just starting to catch up with everyone. I’m happy for you and for the band. 🙂
Hey, I’m sorry I missed this, but I hope they won? Let me know… cheers!
Yes, not the grand prize, but they got enough votes to appear on the compilation. Thanks for your support!
👏🏽
Good luck to your son Marissa.
Happy Valentine’s Day to the Cheesebergens!! ❤❤❤❤🍫🍩🍪🍮
AWwe, thank you Robin and right back atcha!
8 months since I last log in to my blog. I don’t know if I can still vote, It’s March 2018 now. Nevertheless, i miss your poetry. Looking forward to read more.
Thank you Joel! Yes, better late than never, but, unfortunately, in this situation, voting is over. It’s okay though, they made it on to the compilation.
Wow, that’s great. Have a great weekend then. Take Care.
Wish you would do new posts–I miss them!
