Give Me Your Wallet!!!
First off, let me say that this isn't my idea. One PPer started a writing challenge about one's wallet. I'm embarrassed to say that I already forgot who the PPer was as this was a writing challenge a couple of years old. Why I'm only writing my post

Fall 100 Mile Challenge: Day 3
I'm actually over 8,000 steps for the day. That's the most I've got in a while. My goal these days is anything over 5,000, which I have made every day for October so far. We are only on the third day though. We'll see how the rest of the month goes. I did
The book challenge I gave myself...Progress so far.
In July, shortly before I started writing here- I gave myself a challenge of reading 50 books by the last day of 2015 (December 31st). I have made great progress, but have yet to jot down in one place all the books that I have read thus far while trying to
Mouth Watering - CAPTCHA CHALLENGE
Now, good day to all the PPers out there. Second post of the day. Making up for the past days because I wasn't active at all here in Persona Paper. It was a case of off-line endeavors getting prioritized over my on-line activities. Anyway, starting the da
Don't Dawdle - CAPTCHA CHALLENGE
Well, what do you know? I'm posting again. So soon? Not soon enough really as I have been staring at a blank 'Submit a New Article' page far too long. How long? Far. Too. Long. Like three days and nineteen hours too long! Anyway, going with
Channel Surfing - CAPTCHA CHALLENGE
Going with another #captchachallenge post for my third post of the day. I find that doing this type of post exercises my writing and thought process. Hopefully, it translates into more quality posts throughout the day. Who am I kidding? This post won't win
Top Dog - CAPTCHA CHALLENGE
Doing a captcha challenge for my second post for the day. I got 'top dog'. Not a question for all my fellow PPers out there, who here wants to be the top dog? Who is currently the alpha in the pack? The term 'top dog' refers to a person or group who is v
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 20 - A Song You Like to Play on a Road Trip - "Only the Young"
I've take a LOT of road trips. I've driven from an east coast state to a west coast state (or vice versa) four times in the last eight years. And I've lost track of how many times I've taken trips in my car that involve driving five or more hou
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 19 - Your Favorite Duet - "Candy" - Iggy Pop and Kate Pierson
There are a LOT of great #duets scattered throughout music history: Diana Ross and Lionel Ritchie ("Endless Love"), Elton John and Kiki Dee ("Don't Go Breaking My Heart"), Jennifer Warnes and Bill Medley ("I've Had the Time of My Life")... And
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 18 - A Song in Your Favorite Style of Music - "Forces At Play"
Today's challenge is another really tough one. To choose a song in my favorite style of music assumes that I actually HAVE a favorite style of music. That assumption would be incorrect. I have a lot of favorite songs, and I have a lot of styles of music th
Sound Bite - CAPTCHA CHALLENGE
Going to continue the day with a captcha challenge. This time I got 'sound bite'. 'Sound bite' is basically a short and easily remembered line, intended by the speaker to be suitable for media repetition. Politicians, celebrities, sports personalities give
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 16 - A Song that Was Remade Better than the Original - "Singin' In the Rain"
Gene Kelly's umbrella-in-the-rain dance in the 1952 movie "Singin' In the Rain" is a cinematic legend. Anyone with even a casual interest in classic films is familiar with the fun, playing-in-the-rain song and dance where Kelly's character, Don Lockwood, c
The Lonely Road
We all experience times in our lives when our world turns upside down. All that we believe in this world ceases to make sense. Illness, court battles, loss of a job, divorce, loss of a home to fire or flood, or anything else that leaves us with the questi
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 15 - A Song that you Would Like to Hear a Remake of - "St. Louis Blues"
If I love a song, having it remade is the last thing I'd want to have done. Because of that, today's song challenge is truly a CHALLENGE. The only real reason a song should be remade is if it just wasn't good enough in the first place. But if I di
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 14 - A Song that You Think is Too Long - "Hey Jude"
Like the "too short" category (any song that I like), the "too long" category can be easily answered as "any song that I DON'T like", but really, that's a cop-out. Since this is a **CHALLENGE**, a cop-out answer like that just isn't going to cut i
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 13 - A Song that You Think is Too Short - "Time In a Bottle"
The easy answer to today's challenge is that any song that I love is too short. Perhaps that's why, as a child (OK, maybe even now as an adult), I was afflicted by that condition that caused me to play the same record over and over and over again. My favor
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 12 - A Song from a Band with an Awesome Name - "Shiny Shiny"
As I alluded to yesterday, today's selection is from the early 1980's. The New Wave era of music gave us a treasure trove of bands and songs with fantastic names. "Shiny Shiny", released in 1983, is a song from the band, Haysi Fantayzee. Haysi Fan
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 11 - A Song with an Awesome Title - "Bailout At Frog Rock"
With these song challenges that &AliCanary throws out, I find that the best thing to do is to map them out ahead of time. That way, if I have multiple songs that fit a single category, or a single song that fits multiple categories, I can rearrange the
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 10 - A Song that Scares You - "Revolution 9"
Perhaps it's because I grew up not far from where the infamous Manson family lived and I read the book "Helter Skelter" too many times. Maybe it's because people made such a huge fuss when the movie "The Exorcist" was released. Or maybe it was because dumb
Heavy Metal - CAPTCHA CHALLENGE
Dishing out another captcha challenge. This will be my first post for the day. I'm talking about Persona Paper time though. LOL! Anyway, got 'heavy metal' and I have a sick grin across my lips as I type this. Of course, the first thing that comes to mind
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 9 - A Song that Inspires You - "Chicken Fat"
After an almost-three-week absence from the 30 Day Song Challenge, I am back and ready to pick it back up where I left off. My choice for a song that inspires me is very far off the beaten path. I first heard "Chicken Fat" by Robert Preston when I
London Calling - CAPTCHA CHALLENGE
Dishing out a captcha challenge for this post. I got 'london calling'. One thing comes to my mind... The Clash's song 'London Calling'!!! Now, I was blessed to have a family that are into music. My father's side listened to their vinyl collection every Su

Best Music: Special Moments with My Sweet Boy
I've fallen behind in the 30-Day Song Challenge, so I wanted to get at least one post up for it today. I'm now at day #5, which is a song that makes me think of a happy memory. There are a lot of good songs (and entire albums) that make me think of happy t
Fried Rice - CAPTCHA CHALLENGE
Throwing another captcha challenge for my third post for the day. By the way, good day to everyone at Persona Paper. Let's all have a productive day shall we. Back to the captcha challenge, I got 'fried rice'. Now here in the Philippines and in other Asi

A Dollar and a Quarter to Go
On my road to my first payout here on Persona Paper, I have only $1.25 left. In June, I set my goal to make this first payout by my August 10th birthday, which is a big milestone birthday for me. When June ended, and July began, my coins totaled 10,588. T
Nap Time - CAPTCHA CHALLENGE
Very appropriate captcha. I got 'nap time'. I wonder how many PPers out there are taking a nap now. How many are contemplating to take a nap? Still how many just woke up from one? I'm one of those who badly need one. Truth be told, I should be wide awake
Do It Now! - CAPTCHA CHALLENGE
Another captcha challenge for this morning. I love doing these!!! It gives me a chance to think on my feet and it offers just the right amount of diversity. Of course, I can also argue that captcha challenges can become of a crutch which I don't want to ha
Piping Hot - CAPTCHA CHALLENGE
Seems easy enough... I always hate it when I'm so hungry and the food I get is piping hot... it prolongs my agony and most of the time, I'll be too stupid to realize it and still have a mouhtful of food... only to regret it because my mouth gets burned eat
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 8 - A Song that Makes You Mad - "I Need To Know"
Perhaps what I'm about to say seems a bit irrational, but I'm putting it out there anyway. Marc Anthony's "I Need to Know" ticks me off. It came out at about the same time as a bunch of other Latin-influenced pop songs, many of which were
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 7 - A Song that You Associate with a Funny Memory - "Achy Breaky Heart"
My sister's kids have provided me with an endless amount of entertainment through the years. My oldest niece loved to sing a little bit more than her siblings did, and when she was little, it wasn't unusual to catch her in the middle of any number of

30-Day Song Challenge - Day 6 - A Song that You Associate with a Sad Memory - "Across the Universe"
I've had this #Beatles song in one form or another in my music library since I was in my teens. I bought my first copy of it on one of those Beatles compilation albums (on vinyl) when I was sixteen or seventeen years old, but I'll admit that this song
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 5 - A Song that You Associate with a Happy Memory - "Kung Fu Fighting"
When I was a kid, I had a friend with whom I listened to a lot of music. We would spend literally hours listening and dancing to whatever we had amongst our stacks of 45s or whatever we'd pick up from the radio. (You can read about our friendship o
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 4 - A Song that Describes Your Life - "Make Your Own Kind of Music"
Today's song challenge is to pick a song that describes my life; I kind of thought that I had already done that on Day 15 of the original 30-Day Song Challenge (30-Day Song Challenge - Day 15 - A Song That Describes You - "Life For Rent"). But the
NEW 30-Day Song Challenge - Day 3 - A Song that Reminds You of Your Crush - "Get the Balance Right"
I don't have a song yet that reminds me of my current crush (it's only been three weeks since our first date), so I decided to choose one from a long-ago crush (more specifically, an almost-thirty-years-ago fiance). I met my long-ago crush at work

Why is a Strong Woman a Bitch?
Day 4 of the song challenge asks for a song that describes my life, but honestly I can't say I've ever encountered one that does. And I guess that's not too surprising. I was one of those kids who was never “seen” by the teacher on Romper Room

Will You Be Watching Angel From Hell?
I'm not a huge fan of the comedy genre. To be honest, I find most comedies appeal to the lowest common denominator – and that just bores me. So it's really rare for me to find a TV comedy that I think will hold my attention. But I think that maybe th
Best Music: A Love Song for My Man
Day 3 of the song challenge asks for a song that reminds me of my crush. Well, I don't have anyone I would refer to that way, but I have been with my husband for almost 19 years now. When we were courting we discovered we had a shared appreciation for band

Heading Tags: Do You Want the Scoop About How They Help SEO?

Can Seraphic Insights Be a Great Success?

100 Posts in a Week: Am I Crazy to Even Attempt It?
A fellow writer here at Persona Paper, &carolscash, has asked us all if we would take on the challenge of writing one hundred articles over the next week. That's a pretty tall order, and she herself admits that she won't likely finish in the seven days
Best Music: What Song Do You Like to Sing With?
Day One of the 30-Day Song Challenge asks for a song that I always sing to when I listen to it. Without a doubt, the song that comes to mind is “We Won't Wait Any Longer.” This anthem written and performed by the late Feri bard, Gwydion Pendder
One Hundred Articles Challenge
Persona Paper writers always seem up to a good challenge and I am making one right now that I am sure most of us won't live up to, but let's give it a try. I am challenging each of us to post 100 articles here in a week. Now, I mean a real article that con

FOPP Project for June - The Front-Page Challenge!

Captcha Challenge - "cabbage borsht" (Borscht, Actually)
Oh, silliness! This Captcha was so goofy, I had to do another Captcha challenge. First of all, it is misspelled (the proper spelling is 'borscht', with a c), and secondly, I've always wondered just exactly what is borscht. I was under the impression t
Ear Muffs - Captcha Challenge
Time for another captcha challenge, this time I got 'ear muffs'. I chuckled a bit when I read the captcha... not sure why though... oh my dirty mind!!! Anyway, on to the post... Earmuffs were invented by Chester Grennwood in 1873. He was 15 at that time..

Been a minute since I did a captcha challenge so I decided to do one now. I got 'bean town' and of course the first thing that comes to mind is Boston. I had to look it up on why Boston is referred to as 'Bean Town'. Read that Boston became nationally know
Knock On Wood - Captcha Challenge
Another captcha challenge for the site. I make capthcha posts as I get these. I keep a list and then get back to those that I missed. Anyway, on to today's captcha challenge. I got 'knock on wood'. This is a popular phrase that we utter so as to stave off
Glass Ceiling - Captcha Challenge
Here's another captcha challenge for a post. I got 'glass ceiling' . Often times, we hear the phrase 'break the glass ceiling'. 'Glass ceiling' refers to invisible but real barrier that prevents certain sections of qualified employees to advance to th
Cold Shoulder - Captcha Challenge
When I saw my captcha for this post, 'cold shoulder', I said to myself that I have to write a post about it. Not that I have been picky about the captcha's that I make a post for. You can very well see that I have tons of captcha challenge posts over the p
Jabberwocky - Captcha Challenge
Another captcha challenge, this time I have 'jabberwocky'.I must admit that this is the first time I've encountered such word. I'm familiar with the Jabbawockeez, the eight-man hip hop dance group that shot to fame when they won the dance talent search a c
Save Face - Captcha Challenge
Time for another captcha challenge.Anyway, I got 'save face'. Basically, to say 'save face' is to 'do something so that people will continue respecting you'. Used in a sentence, 'His apology wasn't sincere. He merely said it to save face.'...The phrase 'sa
Duvet Day - Captcha Challenge
So doing another captcha challenge and this time, I got 'duvet day'. The phrase 'duvet day' was first used in the UK in the 1960s. It pertains to a paid day's work wherein the employee is allowed to stay at home to rest and relax. The term 'duvet day' als
Pyrrhic Victory - Captcha Challenge
This is my captcha for the previous post, 'pyrrhic victory'. Now, 'pyrrhic victory' is defined as a goal that was achieved at such great cost that it negates the success of the victory. The phrase was named after the Greek king Pyrrhus of Epirus whose arm
Double Time - Captcha Challenge
Got 'double time' as my captcha for my previous post.Hmmm... let me see... we usually hear the phrase 'double time' in places such as the military academy, a military base, a police outpost, or during those awful dreaded military class at school. Of cours
Basketcase - Captcha Challenge
When I first saw this captcha, 'basket case', the first thing that came to my mind was Green Day's lead single off their commercial debut album 'Dookie'. The band's song 'Basket Case' peaked at number one in the Modern Rock charts and it stayed there for a
Skynet Is Watching - Captcha Challenge
Another #captchachallenge to keep the ball rolling...'Skynet is Watching' is what I got. Love the 'Terminator' reference here. Kudos to whoever thought of including this in the captcha checklist. Shows a lot of creativity, imagination, and out of the box t
Look Both Ways - Captcha Challenge
'Look Both Ways', so goes the captcha for this challenge.Very simple yet very effective reminder on how we deal with matters in our daily lives. Possibly, the first lesson my folks taught me when outside, before crossing a street, 'Look both ways. Mak
Firecrackers - Captcha Challenge
Throwing a #captchachallenge post. Earlier, I got 'firecracker'. Now, firecrackers are often related to celebrations such as New Year's Day. This are chargers with built in fuses encased in heavy paper casing. Firecrackers originated in China. Back in
Should Have Been Ten - TBT Post
Another #tbtpost here. I remember back in the 'B' site, I had days when I was able to submit the maximum ten posts. Prior to that, the most I've submitted was nine. On two different occasions, I was able to submit nine posts. Back then, when I was abl
Captcha Challenge - "square meal"
The saying 'square meal' makes me laugh, because even though we know it means a satisfying and nutritious meal, as in "three squares a day", it makes me think of square food. When you think about it , there is quite a bit of square food. Fish fillets for f
April Stats Update

Party On Garth - Captcha Challenge
'Party on, Garth!'... wow! Oh so many wonderful memories from the movie 'Wayne's World' and 'Wayne's World 2'. Not so sure what year that was but one Halloween, I talked to a good buddy of mine and we went to a Halloween party as Wayne and Garth. How cool
No Brainer - Captcha Challenge
Gong with another #captchachallenge . Past two posts were captcha challenge posts as well. This is the third. Not that I'm complaining. Anyway, my captcha for this post is 'no brainer'. How appropriate!!! I think captcha challenges posts are no brainers. H
Paper Plates - Captcha Challenge
I'm breaking out another #captchachallenge ... this time out I got 'paper plate'. Read my previous one here about the phrase 'learn the ropes'. Back in the day, we used paper plates a lot. That was the time when we didn't have any household help. Both my m

Captcha Challenge – “Talk to Strangers”
Seems like the Captcha is telling me the opposite of what my mom and Rick Springfield told me, which was “Don’t talk to strangers”. That’s pretty good advice for a little kid, because some strangers can be pretty strange. But how ab

It's not time for my next song challenge, yet, but I want to do another Captcha challenge, because you never know what you'll get. This time I got "loud music". All RIGHT! I don't have to do any research on this one. Loud music can be great or it can be ho

In my last post, http://www.personapaper.com/article/27704-i-think-the-fopp-challenge-is-losing-steam, I received many comments from those who had never heard of #FOPP and who did not know Jason, its founder. Here is a link to the original challenge: http:
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 28 - A Song That Makes You Feel Guilty - "Black To White"
I'm not sure what the difference is between a song that makes you feel guilty and a guilty pleasure. I have a lot of guilty pleasure songs, but I don't really have any songs that make me actually feel GUILTY. I suppose the closest thing I ca

The Thirty Day Music Challenge - Day 10 A Song That Makes You Fall Asleep
There are no individual songs that are dull enough to put me to sleep. If I find a song is boring on my play-system I’ll skip to the next track, and if on TV I’ll start channel hopping to find something better to listen to. Some albums
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 25 - A Song That Makes You Laugh - "Jingle Cats Medley"
Right now, before I go any further with this, I'm going to apologize for the pure, unadulterated #silliness. There are a lot of songs that I think are funny - "King Tut" by Steve Martin, "Rubber Biscuit" by the Blues Brothers, several parody songs
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 23 - A Song That You Want To Play At Your Wedding - I've Got It Narrowed Down to Two Songs!
Since I'm a woman of a certain age and I've never been married, let's just say that I've had a lot of years to think about this one! I actually have several songs that I'd like to hear at my wedding (that is, *IF* I ever have one...) So....
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 22 - A Song You Listen To When You're Sad - "I Never Cry"
When I'm sad, I usually don't have a lot of room in my head for anything else, so most songs just annoy me during those times. Those are times when I prefer silence, which is rare for me. I'm not a big fan of silence. If I'm goin

Persona Paper Stats Mid-Month Report
Pretty cut and dry discussion here. Just want to put forth a post about my progress for March. I'm doing the #100PostChallenge and when the month started I had 184 post. Counting this post, I have 239 posts and I'm 45 posts from my 100 post target. I still
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 20 - A Song You Listen To When You're Angry - "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)"
I don't actually listen to music so much when I'm angry. I usually channel my anger into a flurry of cursing, or possibly slamming a door or slamming shut a desk drawer. There have been exceptions, though. A few years ago, I lost 52
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 19 - A Song From Your Favorite Album - "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"
First of all, I need to apologize for being a day late on this day's challenge - yesterday was just a really rough day all around. I won't get into that here, since I'm trying to keep work stuff out of my writing life... Moving on.....
The Number One Song on My Birthday
I must admit I haven't started with &AliCanary 's #30DaySongChallenge . There are a lot of posts about this song challenge and I just haven't had the chance to do so. Anyway, here's hoping that this music themed post will kick start it for me and I can
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 18 - A Song That You Wish You Heard On the Radio - "Pipeline"
One of the reasons I don't listen to much music #radio in my locality is because they don't play a lot of the kinds of music that I like. I'll get lucky sometimes, and I'll be able to pick up a station that's broadcasting from a city that's about 80
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 17 - A Song That You Hear Often On the Radio - "Stay With Me"
I don't listen to music #radio much. If I happen to have the radio on, it's a good bet that I'm listening to NPR. With over 16,000 songs on my iPod, I really don't feel a need to listen to anything that has commercials because I have plenty of
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 16 - A Song That You Used To Love But Now Hate - "God Bless the U.S.A."
I know that this is a really, really #controversial choice for a song that I've come to "hate", so I'm going to say this up front: It's not the song itself...it's the way the song got co-opted by people of a certain political stripe in this country.
Productive Wednesday Morning
Almost 1:00 pm here in Manila on a lovely Wednesday. It is drizzling outside which is a welcome respite from the unforgiving summer heat. Anyway, just want to give everyone a recap of what I have been up to this morning, not that anyone actually cares. LOL
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 15 - A Song That Describes You - "Life For Rent"
Finding a song for today's challenge was easy. Writing about it...not so much. An article like this one is the reason why I choose to write under a pseudonym. I've always had an #independent streak. My mom has told me many, many
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 13 - A Song That Is a Guilty Pleasure - "V.S.M. - A Very Strange Medley"
I suppose you have to be a person of a certain age (and probably residing in a particular nation during a particular time) to appreciate this one. Barry Manilow did a lot of songwriting in the 1960's, including writing a lot of the commercial jing
The Creepiest Songs by The Beatles
A Creepy Song I guess you could call this a #30DaySongChallenge extra. I was reading this post by &alexdg1 for his entry for today in the Challenge http://personapaper.com/article/26213-alicanarys-30-day-music-challenge-day-six-a-song-from-your-favori
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 12 - A Song From a Band You Hate - "Rock & Roll Part 2"
Normally, when I hate a band, they won't have any songs that I like. In the case of "Rock & Roll Part 2", I like the song, and my hatred of the "band" (well, in this case, the singer) came much later. A lot of people know this song as "t
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 11 - A Song From Your Favorite Band - "I'll Stick Around"
Today's challenge seems like it should be easy, but it really isn't. The first issue is determining which band is my favorite, which is not a simple task - I rarely have any single favorite bands, so I had to narrow this one down. Once I

30-Day Song Challenge - Day 10 - A Song That Makes You Fall Asleep - "Promenade"
I think that this is probably the toughest day of the 30 Day Song Challenge, or at least one of the toughest, because I can't think of any songs that specifically make me fall asleep. The best I can do is present a song that doesn't keep me awake. &

So, I read the subject of today's music challenge, and thought that it must be a trick question. I mean, I have over 16,000 songs on my iPod, a large number of which I know all the words to (the fact that over a quarter of them are Christmas songs certainl

30-Day Song Challenge - Day 7 - A Song That Reminds You of a Certain Event - "It Ain't Necessarily So"
Like most people of my generation, I was "introduced" to Cab Calloway via the 1980 movie, "The Blues Brothers", where he played Curtis, the man who told Jake and Elwood that they "got to learn not to talk to nuns that way" and then instructed them to "get
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 6 - A Song That Reminds You of Somewhere - "Slip Slidin' Away"
Paul Simon's "Slip Slidin' Away" reminds me of #Detroit. More specifically, it reminds me of an #expressway in Detroit. My dad's branch of the family tree is based primarily in the Detroit area. For reasons that are unknown to me, most of my child
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 5 - A Song That Reminds You of Someone - "Hitchin' a Ride"
I've never heard the song "Hitchin' a Ride", by Vanity Fare, on any radio station, ever. The only reason I even know that it exists is because of a young girl who lived down the street from me when I was also a young girl. During that year when I
Oh, I do not like jazz!
I do not like jazz music. I am not a fan of opera or rap either, but jazz is the genre I despise. I went to a list of jazz songs, and all I had to do was pick one. The one I picked will have the honor of being my least favorite

30-Day Song Challenge - Day 4 - A Song That Makes Me Sad - "The Cat Carol"

30-Day Song Challenge - Day 3 - A Song That Makes Me Happy - "Hey Ya"
"Hey Ya", by OutKast is a song that never, EVER fails to make me happy. It's quite a peppy, uptempo song that doesn't beg your feet to dance; it impels them to - you just don't have a choice in the matter. And really, your feet don't mind it one l
