FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
– Are your initials really “A.B”? Can I call you “Alphabet Starter”?
Yes. I actually insist you do.
– Your last name rhymes with “spaghetti” and you’re from NJ. Are you Italian? Can you make me a delicious sauce?
Yes I am. But I find those to be silly Italian-American stereotypes. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to my organ grinder job.
– I think I remember you from your years in the Wu-Tang Clan. Am I right?
Yes.
– Do you believe in aliens?
If Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith can defeat them, I’m not too worried.
– Fruit Roll-Ups or Fruit By the Foot?
Fruit Roll-Ups. There’s no need to bring math into my snacks.
– I’m the Bee Girl from the Blind Melon video. Can I PLEASE have my costume back?
No.
A Blumes With a View 
Oh, when a laugh is needed….I shall be here. Great “About”. Thank you for stopping by my rather low-key blog….. I’m sure you have to get back to organ-grinding now… 😉
Haha, no organ grinding for me today, but truthfully, I did end up making a sauce! Haha, I wanted to give you a big thanks for the kind words- I’m really happy you enjoyed! It means a lot, and I hope my future posts don’t disappoint!
Thanks again!

Hey Andrew,
Great about me! I did get some looks from other Starbucks goers while reading {quite the chuckle inducing post} but I think they just need a few more sips of their lattes. Keep the great stuff coming!!

Congratulations!! I’ve nominated you for The Imagine Award! In order to find out more about how to accept this award, click on the link below. If you would like to decline the award (which is okay—no worries!)…if you could pass it onto a blog which you find to be very creative, that would be great. This is a new award, so I would like to see it spread out through the WordPress community. Spread the love, and again congratulations! Your great imagination and creativity are deeply appreciated.

Lol! I think Tommy Lee Jones was the better alien killer.
Very fair point! Haha. That guy had to deal with Batman, the Fugitive AND aliens! What a tiring decade!
Thanks for the comment!
Nice! Nothing like silliness to put the “good” into the day!
That’s such a compliment to hear! Thanks a million Cynthia!
Love love love the Wu-Tang Clan reference…nice!
Thanks very much! I actually did have a strange experience with Method Man one time, so for me, that’s actually as close to being in the group as you can get!
Meh…Close enough for me. You’re practically a former member.

Thanks for following my blog thingy! I’ll shoot you a friend request…but don’t out me, dude!
Tagged you in a blog tour post. Not sure if you’d be into participating, but wanted to give you a shout out:
http://melstepp01.wordpress.com/2014/04/07/hideaway/
Thanks ever so much Melissa! I apologize for not responding sooner, had a medical issue in the family (all is well now) that gave me a bit of an unplanned absence from WordPress for a bit. I’m incredibly flattered and thankful for the shout-out and your kind words. Whenever someone appreciates my goofy writings, it really means a lot. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the follow. Hope you’ll enjoy reading my little pieces of words. Your blog looks fun, I’ll have to go explore some.
You’re great! Thank you for reading me!
This About me was so much different from all the others i have read!!! So much of humor i was smiling all the way till the end. Glad to have stumbled upon your blog!!! Happy New Years!!!
