It’s guest post round up time kids.
Now some astute readers may peer through this smokescreen I am putting up and see a blatant, and frankly abysmal excuse by yours truly for not writing a proper post….and you would be right.
I have been having an awesome time in the last few days and have neglected to write a decent post of even borderline quality, and as it happens my reserves of upcoming posts are dwindling horribly.
I promise I will sit my lazy ass down at some point in the near future and sort this appalling situation out, but for now please enjoy three guest posts I wrote recently and take a gander at the three excellent websites that were kind (or stupid enough) to host them.

Whore Post 1: The Road “Most” Traveled Is Frickin’ Dangerous Man
.
School – Work – Eat Some Strawberry Pie – Die.
.
Surely there is more to life than this.
Life, conversely, is like imported Italian ice cream. Something to be enjoyed, to be experienced, to be toyed with, risked, investigated, challenged, experimented on and, over all, “Devoured” with lots of mess around the facial region.
Hosted at Thrilling Heroics by my good friend and direct competitor for the love of the Thai’s, Cody McKibben.

Whore Post 2: Good Things Come To Those That Don’t Wait
.
Procrastination, they say, is the killer of progress, creativity and small puppies.
.
People wait….and they wait….and they wait….and the tea gets cold…and they wait some more…the children grow up…and they wait….their clothes go out of fashion….and they wait….their clothes come back into fashion again…..and they wait…time itself gives up and goes home…and they wait.
Written for the insanely off the wall and incredibly engaging writer Colin Wright over at ExileLifestyles this post explores why people wait and how to get you cute backside moving and get on with your dreams.

Whore Post 3: One Plus One Makes Eight Hundred and Eighty Six Thousand – 3 Crucial Things Neccissary For Success That The School System Neglected To Teach You.

The School System Teaches You To Throw Up
.
The School system will teach you to regurgitate facts, life will teach you that this has very limited application in the real world and to get ahead you have to get creative and sometimes downright sneaky.

“The Road “Most” Traveled Is Frickin’ Dangerous Man” Funny! This is on the same line with one of my favorites quote, which I like so much I’m not sure I remember correctly, but it goes something like: “Marriage is the only adventure open to the cowardly.”

Lol Eduard, better not tell the wife though.
I’m now going to read those articles. Is it just me or you change blog design every time I visit?
Hi Oscar, Unfortunately that is a major crutch of being a designer. I get bored of my designs as soon as I have completed them. Hope you enjoy the posts.
You’ve been busy Jonny! Great stuff on guest posts and likin the new design.
Hi Jen,
I manage to carve out some time between Wakeboarding and icecream.
Hi Jonny,
Whore posts
jejeje good one.
Lazy ass? Are you kidding? you’ve written 3 amazing guest post and they’ve been publish on three great blogs
, you are doing terrific. But, what I most like is that I can identify your own writing style in each individual post you make, that’s make the difference.
I would love to write some good guest post but first I need to improve my writing skills and my english
.
Thanks for sharing these posts.
See you Jonny.
Hola David,
Thanks for the awesome comment. Your latest post was a great idea to inspire community and collated group wisdom.
Jonny, you made my day. A lot of bloggers have a serious aversion to guest posting. Guesting is a way to get bigger, quicker, without waiting for the normal traffic channels to help you.
I recently wrapped up a guest post marathon where I wrote 42 posts in 7 weeks, along with writing on my own blog every day. Why I did it is kind of a long story, but the effects on traffic were predictably staggering.
Long live the whores.
Josh
Hi Josh,
That is indeed a guest post marathon. Incredible. I have another 6 posts that should be coming out over the web at somepoint soon but now I feel I have more to do to catch up. I am not surprised you were invited to write so many though as your writing style is humorous and engaging. I wish you all the best mate.
Guest post, regular post, just keep rolling them out and I’ll keep reading. “The Road ‘Most’ Traveled is Frickin Dangerous” was one of my favorite posts that I read last week on any site…anywhere!
You flatter me Earl and thankyou for your encouraging comments, like the invention of swiss chocolate, they are greatly appreciated.
Hey Jonny (aka shameless whore)
I’m too lazy to use my mouse and click through those links. So I’m just going to wait for your new post. Please just write one for your site.
Steven (aka shameless procrastinator)…oh look there’s goes another puppy
Touche Steven, Touche. Made me laugh out loud, much to the annoyance of my business partner. Ahh screw him, your funny.
