It’s been a while…

I love my blog! It is a way for me to get a whole bunch of stuff off my chest, and also get some input from my readers. (My readership is nowhere near what I want it to be, but still, my readers help me out with their comments and caring!)

So – why is it that I haven’t posted to my blog for so long?

The answer is a bit compicated, so concentrate!

I have though about posting at least every second day. But I have beens so busy doing a whole bunch of stuff that I haven’t been in an amazing blogging mood when I have remembered that I want to post. I then decide that I want to be in the best mood possible when blogging, so I wait until the right mood hits. As evidenced by the last period without posting, I am not always able to post when I am in the right mood, so time goes by without me posting.

I have realised that I must blog no matter what, and instead of doing other stuff and posting when I find time, I am going to post and do other stuff when I find time!

That’s the story…

Soon  I will post more, so get ready for more Mr. Bender Ball action!

Late night blogging…

I should be asleep… gotta be up in less than 6 hours… still need to do one or two small things before going to sleep… but had to play with Google for a bit, and so I landed here!

I am not going to do any bending now, as this day was a bender, a ball was had by all – but I have to hit the sack now, otherwise no way I will be able to function in the morning. Not functioning means that I will not be the Bender Ball Man, but ratherI will get bent and smacked all over like a ball.

Couldn’t resist an open computer and the chance to blog!

More to come within 10 hours…

Snow balls that don’t bend

No, it didn’t snow. But it might as well have. I was sick over the weekend, and I would have preferred to be snowed in so that I could just stay in bed. On the whole, I slept a more or less (it felt like more less than more!) decent amount, but I still was expected to be a dutiful father and husband.

I was very congested, and spent a lot of time blowing my nose, coughing and spluttering. With winter upon us, I also spent a decent amount of time wiping my kids’ noses… fun, fun, fun!

Anyway, all I want to do is sleep for 24 hours, but the weekend when the kids are home is not the best time… during the week when the kids are at school is the perfect time, but then my boss thinks I should be at work! So… it seems that my abilities to manipulate situations and bend over backwards to get out of tough situations doesn’t apply to everything or everyone… still, my friends call me Mr. Bender Ball – so that’s nice!

As I get sicker – or get better – there will be more to say and write… so… to be continued!

Sending the wife around the bend

Wives are cool. Many of the good things in life are due to wives. In general, it’s not really the end of the world that a man needs a woman in order to procreate and find emotional fulfillment. So, really, all is well with the wife, and wives.

But, you know how it is. Sometimes the wife is not just a companion, but she becomes a parent. That’s okay when she’s parenting the kids, not when she has become your mother. It’s not that she becomes like her mother-in-law, but that she starts taking on the responsibilities of a mother with regard to you, her husband.

I attach no blame or ill will to this occurrence, and in fact, it stems from love and caring. But it is a pain when you have to become the bender man to manouver around the wife.

That’s what I did. I kinda knew she wasn’t in for something, and yet I still asked her about it. She answered in the negative, exactly as I expected she would. But then I did the opposite of what she said! I am known to do what I want, and I am usually sensitive not doing things that will really upset her. But here I asked her, she said no, and I still did it!

Of course she was more upset about the whole process of disregarding her after specifically asking her than me actually having carried through with it. The good news is that it wasn’t the end of the world getting myself out of that situation – so my bending still works.

Even though I once again was worthy of my title, Mr. Bender Ball, I had to do so much manouvering that my back hurts, and I feel as if I bent the ball too much!

Speaking of bender ball, there is another site out there that shares the same name – check this out.

Cache me if you can!!

My blog is going well, and I have received a whole bunch of replies as to how much enjoyment people are getting from my blog, but there is something that is really bending my balls. Google hasn’t cached my blog! I am sure that I checked it out and Google had cached it, but now I checked, (or rather my extroverted introvert buddy from work checked, more about him later) and it is not cached!!

So, was it cached, or wasn’t it? Did it get cached and then fall out of cache – or was I dreaming?

I am the Bender Ball, but it seems that Google has me bending, and I will have to try my bender ball talents a few more times – or with greater intensity – before the average Joe out there will be able to arrive at my blog from a Google search.

Well, today is November 16th, let’s see when Google wakes up and smells the Mr. Bender Ball coffee

Bad Bender Day

Okay, so my buddies call me Mr Bender Ball ’cause I am able to bend all types of situations to my benefit, and I am also generally able to bend myself out of strange situations… all this is true, generally.

Today it wasn’t the case, and it was the same people who were involved in another one of those occasions when my nickname as the Bender wasn’t true. Who are these animals? Those who ruin my reputation and today ruined my day as it started?

My kids! Yes, a 5 year old and 3 year old have the ability to bend me round their fingers and kick me around like a ball. Bender Ball, yeah, right. Not me when I am around them.

So – late start to my day, late to work, bad mood – thank you kids!

I love you guys!

My opening kick…

This is the Bender man’s first post – give it up!!

I am planning to make this one of the best blogs on WordPress, and, then, I plan to conquer all of Cyberspace! Mr Bender Ball is on the scene!

Ok, in the beginning, I will settle for having some constant content and decent posts happening on my site (WOW! My OWN internet site!), but then I will want my traffic to increase, and I will work on keeping all the visitors to my site glued to this blog!

We’ll see if it happens… although, just telling my buddies about this blog should get me a ton (like 10!) of hits!
