OBLIVIOUS
adj.
1. Lacking all memory; forgetful.
2. Lacking conscious awareness; unmindful.
Usage Note: Either of or to can be used with oblivious: The party appeared oblivious to (or of) the mounting pressures for political reform.

Isn’t it comforting to know that we have an of or to choice? Life comes with so few choices.

Because, although I’m oblivious OF many things, I’d like to think that being oblivious TO that fact kind of evens everything out. You know, like a green tea smoothie with a side of bacon. Mr. Oblivious does a nice job summing it up with Up, which on any given day might just be the story of my life…juxtapositionally (yes, that’s my word) speaking.  But then again, maybe my oblivion is under an influence… (via Mr. Oblivious, of course).

I can take a smack down better than most, but when LZ aka My Messy Paradise and Eric Striffler aka http://www.striffler.com & http://www.striffler.com/weddings.html, both answered HAWAII within the same 1/2 hour, I was floored.  LZ answered via comments and Eric via Facebook – I’ve tried to decipher which answered first but all I can get is within that same 1/2 hour… so CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH. Interviews will proceed sometime in the next 2 weeks. Okay okay… so perhaps this was a little obvious, but wasn’t it fun too?

Soooo… Now what? I was hoping that this contest would last longer than 1 hour into publishing time. smart-asses, so here’s another Guessing Game for the long weekend.

WHERE IS THIS?

What STATE, in the great U S of A was this picture taken?

1. Guesstimate the closest STATE this picture was taken in.
2. Guess as many times as you would like.
3. The first person to answer correctly will be interviewed for an upcoming For The Birds “Bird Watcher Profile” post. Read the most recently published, it was a blast!
4. Then I will promote the hell out of your story for a week.
5. All about you. 
6. I am no joke about promotion. 
7. Game ends November 29, 2009 – the closest guesstimate location wins… exact preferred.
8. If you won the last guessing game here at For the Birds (LZ & Eric), you can play but you can’t win– you can suggest the right answers (if you can’t control yourself).
9. If you were with me when this was taken, you can’t play–I promise to be more original next time.
