Internationally Bestselling Quirky Children's Books; Adventurous Heroes Doing Good
This week we talk about the weird things we would never do, so basically the anti-bucket list.
So many thanks to everyone who participated! You all are fan-freaking-tastic! And it was so good to see you!
The music you hear in our intro and outro was provided by the amazing Stubhy Pandav. He’s brilliant. You should check him out.
Hi! This year (2023), I’m continuing my quest to share a poem on my blog and podcast and read it aloud. It’s all a part of my quest to be brave and apparently the things that I’m scared about still include:
Thanks for being here with me and cheering me on, and I hope that you can become braver this year, too!
Hey, thanks for listening to Carrie Does Poems.
The music you hear is made available through the creative commons and it’s a bit of a shortened track from the fantastic Eric Van der Westen and the track is called “A Feather” and off the album The Crown Lobster Trilogy.
We know! We know! The title? It will all make sense in a second.
Hopefully . . .

The music we’ve clipped and shortened in this podcast is awesome and is made available through the Creative Commons License.
Here’s a link to that and the artist’s website. Who is this artist and what is this song? It’s “Summer Spliff” by Broke For Free.
WE HAVE EXTRA CONTENT ALL ABOUT LIVING HAPPY OVER HERE! It’s pretty awesome.
AND we have a writing tips podcast called WRITE BETTER NOW! It’s taking a bit of a hiatus, but there are a ton of tips over there.
We have a podcast, LOVING THE STRANGE, which we stream biweekly live on Carrie’s Facebook and Twitter and YouTube on Fridays. Her Facebook and Twitter handles are all carriejonesbooks or carriejonesbook. But she also has extra cool content focused on writing tips here.
Carrie is reading one of her raw poems every once in awhile on CARRIE DOES POEMS. And there you go! Whew! That’s a lot!
So, over on our substack, LIVING HAPPY, I’ve been talking a lot about creating our own realities in relation to success and meaning. This is really just sort of diving deep to realize that maybe your perspective isn’t the one you want.
When you attain your goals, do they satisfy you? That’s really the question. Listen to us talk about this, losing your junk (and word choice) and finding success your own way.
Sometimes you just have to define your own success and if that’s flopping on the couch all the day in the living room? So be it, dog.

Yep, we’re going there, because we’re the only self-development podcast that will.
Join us as we talk about brawls in the Waffle House, farting, and creating systems to actually achieve your goals.
Sometimes you have to review the system to stop having resource guarding. Cough. Pogie. Cough.

We also talk about a link from Medium that won’t embed up there, but the link is in the narrative. Thanks for joining us and here’s to a good 2023!

Since it’s the time of holidays for many religions, we thought it would be a great time to talk about the ancient types of drunk-foolery from the 1500s and how they still exist today.
And, a random story about a sleigh-riding Santa.
There’s a great post on Medium from back in November by Jack Shepherd one of Buzzfeed’s former directors. I know nothing about Jack Shepherd but he has a post “These Are the 8 Types of Drunk, According to the 16th Century” and since NYE is coming up, I wanted to have a podcast about it.
All of Shepherd’s list comes from Thomas Nashe wrote a pamphlet called “Pierce Penniless: His Supplication to the Devil.” Nashe was on this Earth in the late 1500s and he was a silly man.
Don’t wait to be drunk to tell people you love them. Embrace who you are without the intoxicating liquors, human.

Just so you all know, if my poem is about a relationship, it might not be about my own current relationship or even about me.

Sometimes you see these little bastards in text or sometimes you might want to put them in there yourself. Gasp!
We aren’t here to tell you how to be fancy or not, but we are here to let you know how to be fancy correctly and not look like a schmuck.
E.g. is short for exempli gratia, or “for example.” But this is a REAL example, so you can use it when you mean, “here are examples.”
I.e. is short for id est, which pretty much means “that is” or “in other words.” This one you use like you’re saying “in other words” or “in essence.” It usually clarifies things.
So, you could say,
I like books, e.g. big books, small books, happy books, cook books, all books that rhyme, all books about crime, all books about time.
Someone might punch you if you say that, but whatever. You do you.
For i.e., you would write,
I like books, i.e., anything that I can read and is bound or on my Kindle or Nook.
You’re clarifying what books are. Or you could say,
I like some books, i.e., anything by Carrie Jones and only Carrie Jones.
Shameless self plug up there.
