Final Blog Post
Today is the Last Day I will be making a blog entry here at miscellaneoushullabaloo.
A NEW "DAVID Q." WEBSITE is currently In The Works. I am planning it's "Grand Opening" sometime in the Spring of 2010.
This future site should prove alot more fun and feature-filled than what I have been able to offer on this blog, which has been plagued with technical difficulties since its inception.
As you can see, there are 'no comments' offered here, yet, I have quite a few 'profile hits'. I have been trying to correct this problem for some time now, but to no avail.
At this New Website, I hope to enable folks to e-mail me, as well as post comments and reviews. I also have some music you may be interested in hearing.
In any case, it was fun being 'silly' for the past 7 months or so. Hopefully all of you whom have 'tuned in' since April have enjoyed what you read here, as well as in my 3 current releases, Miscellaneous Hullabaloo, Inane Balderdash, & ...and now, more fun with...
I will be keeping this blog up for another few weeks, just for the sake of anyone new logging in for the first time and wanting to read what has been offered here.
Slap-Happy Holidays, and Thanks For All Your Support.
Sincerely,
DQT

Things That Scare Me More Than Halloween
All have ceased to frighten this 'tough guy' anymore, as I have moved onto bigger & better fears, obviously listed here:
1) Christmas Shopping
2) Civilians that wear Berets
3) Nightmares in which I become a "non-smoker"
4) Any Reality TV Show
5) The News
6) People Who Park In Fire Lanes (and the Cops that Refuse to Ticket Them)
7) The fact that they're still running commercials with Billy Mays in them, 4 months after his untimely death (hey, we've still got Anthony (Sully) Sullivan, Ron Popeil & that Shammy Whammy guy with the headset—what gives?)
8) Global Freezing
9) Non-smoking, beret-wearing Christmas shoppers parked in fire lanes (to which patrolling police are oblivious) to purchase products currently advertised by the Late Billy Mays for a new Reality TV Show that just made the News
10) Having to write a "Thanksgiving" Blog Entry within the next 3 weeks
11) Continually noticing 11:11 on my digital clock
12) Waiting for falling "moon debris" after we blasted it seeking water on Friday, Oct. 9th
13) The Number 13 (still can't shake this stupid-stition)
14) Noticing spelling errors on blogs I wrote months ago
15) Coming in contact with Anyone who is not aware of the existence of my 3 books, Miscellaneous Hullabaloo, Inane Balderdash, & "...and now, more fun with...", for, after reading these clever & entertaining blog-entries (conceit?), I know people will be dying (Halloween Pun?)
to get such bound-printed matter into their personal reading collections...
Well, off to get my costume—this year, in recompense for free candy, I'll be trick-or-treating as a busted car with an extended warranty I heard about on TV, you know, the ones that "pay the repair shop" directly?

3 Books You Need To Purchase NOW!
In this entry, I bring to your attention three spectacular selections I am currently reading in between:
1) Writing my fourth book
2) Cigarette breaks
3) Complaining about circumstances I know will never change.

Simple Happiness: 52 Easy Ways to Lighten Up by JIM RYAN (Self-Help, Authorhouse)
As an avid reader of self-help books, this one comes highly recommended. Complete with 52 practical & workable suggestions for those desiring to experience a happier, more fulfilling life, Jim Ryan has created an instant classic alongside the likes of Think and Grow Rich & The Master-Key System. His perfect balance of advice, information, narrative style and context earn this current title a 'must-read' for any and all of us seeking personal enlightenment, wisdom, and character development/fortitude.
All Day Play by KENN GALATI (Children's, Comixpress)
In this wonderful tale of a chore-ridden farm girl and her encounter with 3 magic fairies, Author Kenn Galati (and illustrator Kerri Allegretta) offer forth a delightful, enjoyable story & artwork, complete with a moral not just children, but anyone, can learn from. This book is the Best Reason for Parents to spend a Few More Minutes with their young ones, and would do well in any/all grammar-school curriculums.
{Stand by—Mr. Galati will also be releasing a volume of Poetry (for grown-ups like you and I) in 2010!}
The Labrador Retriever: The Dog That Does It All by LISA WEISS & EMILY BIEGEL
(Pets/Dogs, Howell Book House)
The exhaustive research, rich abundance of photographs, and genuine love for 'The Lab' that these authors exhibit in this priceless collection is nothing short of astounding, and belongs on every dog-lovers bookshelf/coffee table. Various chapters include Breeding, Grooming, Health Concerns, Dog Shows, and Finding The Right Lab For You. If one doesn't own a dog yet, then get this book before you do—what you will learn is invaluable, and the pictures alone will warm your heart.

There you have it, 'global community of readers'—your Next Three Purchases, all Planned Out For You!
Until Next Time...

P.S. : ...and you folks thought I was gonna blather on about my three books—"HARUMPH!"

How To GET RICH During This RECESSION!
Lemme guess——I'll bet you're anxious to get started! Let us Proceed to READ:
1) Give Up Sleeping: We're not just talking about "cutting down" or "going on less", but eliminating sleep entirely!
Disadvantages of Sleep:
a) Nightmares
b) Lost Revenue/Decreased Productivity Due to Inactivity
c) Incurred Debt from Additional Accessories such as:
Beds/Sheets/Pillows/Pajamas & Robes/Sleeping Pills/Laundry Costs.
Instead of Sleep, we should consider taking on 3rd/4th Part-Time Jobs to begin generating Excess Cash!
2) Work-At-Someone-Else's-Home-Business: Enough of all this malarkey about making millions on your Own Home Business Start-Up—Do it at Someone Else's House! You will save on Utilities, Chores, and being interrupted by all those Dang Harassing Calls from annoying 'Bill Collectors'...
3) Open Up Your Own Theater in Branson, Missouri: This is what famous musicians are wont to do when their popularity/sales start to dwindle—performing their old hits at their own establishments for all their fans who still desire to "live in the past".
So you've never had a "hit single"? Not to worry—many of the "Nostalgia Acts" Touring Today have One Original Band Member on Life Support who owns the rights to the Band's Name, plus Several New Young Members Nobody Knows, and The Crowds Don't Care!—Why not hire some of these bullet-heads to play at your new joint & start rakin' in dat "Nostalgia Cash"?
4) Start A New Religious Cult: Listen up—there's plenty of humans out there just waiting to worship Other Charismatic Humans and willingly hand over their paychecks in exchange for
some "After-Life Goodies & Guarantees". Nuff Said!
5) Crime: When all else fails, these following career options are Recession-Proof:

Surveillance Society!
Why all da HUB-BUB?
People have been tracked, monitored, & followed by their governments & ruling powers for thousands of years—by the military, the police, churches, taxation entities, spies, and door-to-door salesmen!
Today, we are basically being FILMED everywhere we go—cameras in traffic lights, recorded in retail stores (to prevent theft), and by bullet-heads on cell phones who are dying to use their "built-in camera" feature.
Today, everybody WANTS to be filmed, anyway—on REALITY TV, YOU TUBE/INTERNET, and, if one is ingenious enough, on a Home Shopping Network/Their Own Infomercial Plugging Their Latest Product/Invention (I myself am working on a patent for a combination cheese grater/toilet plunger).
Personally, I think we need MORE SURVEILLANCE!
You read that correctly, and, what da hell? I think EVERYONE should have to WEAR A CAMERA and be WATCHED 24/7. This will create more SURVEILLANCE JOBS, which will increase sales of MONITORING/SECURITY EQUIPMENT, and pull our buttocks out of Dis Dang Recession!
I think YOU, meaning, of course, the Other 5, 999, 999, 999 People On This Planet, ought to know:
1) What I Am Doing
2) What I Am Thinking
3) Where I Am Going——ALL THE TIME!
Plus, when I get "down-time", in between writing Blockbusters such as Miscellaneous Hullabaloo, Inane Balderdash, & "...and now, more fun with...", I should be able to Monitor The Rest Of YOU, just to see/find out:
1) Who's Buying My Books
2) What the Anti-Christ is having for Dinner Tonight
3) Where those damn telemarketers who keep calling me during dinnertime are located.
Who needs PRIVACY ANYMORE?
Who knows? Maybe we'll all be Psychic sometime in the near future, and not need any of this surveillance—all of our brains will be scrambled trying to "read each other's thoughts", and, if we're lucky, we'll all eventually:
a) go insane
b) become extinct, or
c) evolve into a Better Type of Human Being, capable of Minding Our Own Business.
See ya—I'm going to get my "Computer Chip Implant"!

The "IDEAL Christian Denomination"
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
"...and now, more fun with..."
"Heavens-to-Betsy!"
"Well, I NEVER—"
As if Inane Balderdash wasn't only set free two weeks ago, here's a Third Installment you can add to your "David Q." Library!"
"...and now, more fun with..." was released yesterday, May 26th, from iUniverse.com.
So there ya have it, gang, the "Tagis Trifecta"!
You've got plenty of reading to do, and I think I deserve an "extended cigarette break".

Inane Balderdash
Hey, Gang:
INANE BALDERDASH, my new book & follow-up to MISCELLANEOUS HULLABALOO:COLLECTED WORKS 1992—2007, was Officially Released by iUniverse last week on May 6, 2009.Let it be known that these two publications are eagerly awaiting to provide you with:
1) Endless seconds of literary gratification
2) Countless neuro-synaptically interrupting, yet untimely epiphanies
3) Other than those over-priced "time machines", are guaranteed to aid in the quick 'passing of time' spent waiting in doctor's offices, airports, and parole-officer visits.
Your future reading pleasure/posted reviews, Dearest Global Community, are always greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

"How To Get Others To Read Your Blog"
Since it has come to my attention after two weeks that no one is reading/responding to this blog, I have decided to write an article for myself, just to make myself laugh. In the event that someone does actually "tune in", please disregard this notice, unless you are beginning your own blog, and you desire that I should read yours.
How To Get Others To Read Your Blog:
- First, make sure the people you wish to reach can, in fact, read.
- Second, make sure you can write.
- Fourth, (I know, Third, just checking if you're still awake), get on "blogger.com" and follow the prompts.
- Lastly: Write About Things That Interest Others
Need some ideas on what to write? Here We GO:
- Hamburger Technology
- How to Lower Other People's Self-Esteem
- Space Aliens—Experts at Washing-Machine Repair?
- Reality Shows about Reality Shows
- Father Time, Mother Nature, Uncle Sam & Big Brother
- 11:11 Time Prompts—Why Always "Twice a Day?"
- Anybody Else On The Planet Miss "Rock & Roll"?
- Civil Adversity
- Misinterpreting the Bible for Beginners, Experts, and Cultists
- Who Needs Sleep When You Work Four Jobs?
There—I made myself laugh.
Think I'll go read someone else's blog now.

"Gimmeh Some-O-Dat RAZZZ-MA-TAZZZ!"
During a recent survey, it was reported that 4 out of 5 people do not like taking surveys.
This, however, is irrelevant—this article is about RAZZZZZZZ-MA-TAZZZZZZZZZZ!
RAZZ-MA-TAZZ is a combination of the Following Personality Traits:
- Razzle-Dazzle
- Personal Charisma
- A Sense of Humor
A person may have a lot of Razzle-Dazzle, in the form of costume jewelry, flashy clothes, and expensive possessions, but have no RAZZ-MA-TAZZ.
One may have Charisma in this or that milieu, but only because they happen to be surrounded by chimpanzees while holding a string of bananas—this does not qualify as RAZZ-MA-TAZZ.
Still, he or she may tell jokes, anecdotes, and make witty observations from time to time, only to waste their words upon the deaf ears of family, friends, and questionable acquaintances. Dis sure as hell ain't RAZZ-MA-TAZZ!
--- --- ---
If you gonna make it in Dis Life, you gonna need some RAZZ-MA-TAZZ!
If you don't know how to get it, repeat this Petition to the Universe throughout the course of yours, or someone else's day, in a gravelly voice:
"GIMMEH SOME-O-DAT RAZZ-MA-TAZZ!!!"
--- --- ---
In addition to this Powerful Supplication, there are things you can do on your own that will help you develop RAZZ-MA-TAZZ:
- Bathe Frequently
- Share breath-mints/gum/pepperoni sticks with others
- Become, & Remain Organized in Thought & Deed
- Imitate Good-Looking People
- Show Empathy for those who do not Bathe Frequently.
In addition, the following 3 Publications are suggested for the furthering of your RAZZ-MA-TAZZ Education:
- Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
- The Master-Key System by Charles Haanel
- Miscellaneous Hullabaloo by David Q. Tague (www.iUniverse.com)
What-choo-waitin'-fo? Go & GIT YOU SOME-O-DAT
RAZZZZZZZZZ-MA-TAZZZZZZZ!!!

The "David Q. Worldview" Prayer
--- --- ---
…We are here for a Reason…
And although sometimes
Our Mission is Not Clear
Our Struggles Seem Without End
And Our Questions Go Unanswered
Let it not be in vain
That we Strive to Improve
May Universal Law
Justly Compensate Our Efforts
May Happiness Abound
For Those Whom Rightfully Seek It
Permit Wisdom to Arrive
At Its Invited Destinations…
Ever teaching us
Always guiding us
In our ever-present
(conscious and sound)
thoughts, decisions, and actions…
The End Result
Imminently and Eventually
Manifesting Itself
As a
LIFE LIVED TO IT’S FULLEST POTENTIAL
Returning to the Earth
On It’s Final Day
Without Regret
And Leaving Behind
An Unforgettable Legacy
To be Preserved
And Passed On
For the Benefit of Subsequent Generations.

The First in a Series of Writings...
My Name is David Q., and you are in for some Miscellaneous Hullabaloo!
Although these blogs have been around for over a decade now, it behooved me to finally create one today, in the best interests of All Humankind.
Pompous? You bet! But, hey, what da hell. I've got a book out there called Miscellaneous Hullabaloo: Collected Works 1992-2007, and, according to me, myself & I, it's about time The Rest of Da World Heard About It.
Even worse, I've got two more packages of bound printed manner set for release this summer, 2009.
---
Eventually, people worldwide will be contaminated with "David Q." Mania!"
Eventually, I know people worldwide will want to post their comments about this, and subsequent releases——good or bad, positive or negative, "life-changing or useful for bird-cage lining", so this blog is the perfect opportunity for everyone to do such.
Eventually, there will be a website where all this stuff will be properly presented, published, and promulgated. But for now, might as well start with "humble beginnings".
---
I guess the best thing for new readers to this blog to do is to get on dem search engines and look up Miscellaneous Hullabaloo: Collected Works 1992-2007.
I guess the best thing for me, David Q., to do right now is to get some reviews of this book posted for you to read.
Lemme get busy!
