The 4 talented writers above have introduced an unprecedented idea to get together to thank a blogger who has touched all of our online lives. This is only a sample of what he’s created and this is just since I’ve known him:
He’s a published author of two books and a third is one is way. With all this going on, he still has time to comment on my little old blog especially when I feature a Sydney Quotes the Movies post. Did I mention he loves movies?
Alex is a quality person and he associates himself with quality. And, I can’t think of another person on the Internet that deserves to have a whole Blogfest dedicated to them more then Alex.
Four questions:
What does Alex look like? Alex is an attractive man (much respect to Mrs. Alex). Brown hair, greying at the temples, nice teeth, but a crooked smile.
Who could play Alex in a documentary? When I think of Alex, I picture Sean Connery circa 1987 in the Untouchables, but without the English accent.
Who does Alex remind me of? Alex reminds me an older brother and a younger friend, a wise owl and a impetuous ferret.
Flash Fiction – Dueling Ninjas
“IWSG” I punched in the letters on the keypad singing as I did. I was relaxed.
I had entered the office undetected like a ninja. The Cosbalt brand safe was exactly where my contact said it would be. Just as long as I beat my nemesis, this would be a great score.
I opened the safe inch by inch. A guitar pick and a piece of paper sat at the bottom. On the paper was ineligible writing, almost ineligible.
I crinkled the paper in my fist and slammed the safe shut. “Cavanaugh.” I yelled.
The note simple said, “Played again.”
Are you in love, in utter admiration, in complete adoration (again, no disrespect Mrs. Alex) of Alex, the Ninja Captain, then let me know in the comments below?
And be sure to visit all the others who are dedicating their blogs to Alex, today. And, if you don’t know Alex go by his blog and see for yourself.
Your’s is the first one I’ve read. The blogfest is off to an excellent start. Nice job, Sydney.
Thanks Arlee. It’s easy to say nice things about Alex.
Honestly, I don’t know how Alex does it! So glad we finally have a chance to let him know how cool he is. 🙂
Nice work–a wise owl and impetuous ferret. Indeed!
I agree Kirsten. We don’t tell people how we feel about them nearly enough.
That is awesome!! Dug the flash piece. And who doesn’t want to be compared to Connery?
Who told you about the grey hair though?
Thanks so much, Sydney! Sorry it’s taken me all day to get here. It was worth the wait – this is too cool.
I am happy you like it Alex. The praise is well deserved. Don’t let it go to your head. haha Thanks for all you do for us.
an “impetuous ferret” lol!!! So funny! Love it!
Can’t you see it? Thanks Lynda.
Love the story and the who he reminds you of section . . .
Thanks Tyrean. This was fun.
Ooo… I like the idea of a crooked smile! I can definitely see that… 😀
It fits, doesn’t it?
That was awesome, Sydney! When one tries to get the upper hand on the ninja … whoops! Thanks for participating! 🙂
I bet Mrs. C. loves your entry!
Yeah, I wonder how she feels about sharing her husband with the blog world? Hopefully proud.
