Week 5 Play-at-Home

There's plenty going on in the news right now. This week's assignment is:

You need to pick a news-worthy hot topic, write about it, and give your feelings about it.

Things to consider: Some people aren't up to date with certain news topics. Make sure you don't assume that everyone will know what you are talking about. If needed, provide links to articles. If you use direct quotes, or take pics from other related articles, make sure you cite the source.

Word limit: 300 words min. 600 words max.

Also, if you participate this week, or have participated any week so far, you get 25 extra entries in the giveaway we have going on right now!

When you get your post done, link it up here, and feel free to share it on our Facebook wall, along with any other awesome posts you write!

Farewell, from Crazy Dumbsaint of the Mind

Blogger Idol Farewell, A Haiku Series

Oh, Blogger Idol. 

The assignments you gave me?

My brain exploded .

Learned: Hey,I can write!

Ugh,but the pressure to write

sucks fat donkey balls.

"Will people like this?",

is something I never thought.

I just write for me.

I'm one wordy bitch.

I love me some judges though.

Some of them get me.

"Vagina Person"

as a parting gift.

Two votes from safety?

Should have danced Gangnam Style!

Good luck,everyone!
