Give It Away Give It Away Give It Away Now


My blog isn't a giveaway blog. I'm also not PR friendly 99% of the time, so this probably isn't going change. However after my awesome time at Bingemans E Night, I emailed them and requested that they let me brag about them and show them off like a proud mama by letting some of you have some fun there too!

Yes I asked them... they did not come to me. They are that good... and about to get better! They are expanding and renovating both inside FunworX and outside where they are adding 5 NEW WATER SLIDES! OMG is it summer yet?! Oh and did I mention they are wifi equipped now? Thats right, let the kids run wild while you tweet, facebook, check your email or look up new cocktail recipes for when you get home after listening to screaming children for a few hours.

But what about my child-free friends? Y'all deserve some fun time too! Date night? Girls night? Boys night? Honestly, what would be more fun then a night of glow in the dark mini golf? Nothing! Thats right!

So heres the details!

Bingemans has given me FOUR passes for the FunworX indoor play area (40 dollar value) for your kids! Want them? I bet you do! Here's how you win them!
  • Go to www.bingemans.com and then leave a comment here about something your kids would be super excited to try out! (don't forget a way to contact you!)
  • "Like" My Accidental Life on Facebook and comment on he wall for an extra entry
  • Invite your friends to like My Accidental Life on Facebook and make sure they tell me who sent them for another extra entry
  • Follow My Accidental Life here on blogger for an extra entry
In each of these instances make sure you mention the word KIDDO!

Bingemans has also given me FOUR Hole In Fun glow-in-the-dark mini golf passes (40 dollar value) for an adult fun night! Double Date, Girls Night, Boys Night! Want these passes? You bet you do! Heres how you get these ones!

You can enter for either the mini golf passes OR the FunworX passes, not both. Winners will be chosen by random.org on Friday February 4, 2011. Please remember Bingemans is located in Kitchener, Ontario.

Maybe if you're lucky, you'll play some games and win a Funky Fly Vanilla Ice button like I did!

More then 140

I can tweet (Oh lord can I tweet!), but can I blog?

I guess were about to find out.

Living life 140 characters at a time is easy for me, maybe too easy, ok far too easy. I am constantly attached to my twitter, CONSTANTLY. Laptop, phone, ipod, one is always on me and twitter is never signed out.

My life has become so succinct I no longer need paragraphs or even full sentences. Punctuation is a thing of the past and hashtags offer a quick and easy way to wrap up any thought #LikeThisOne #Tada

Now I'm not one of those self-proclaimed twitter gurus or experts or ninjas (though I am a ninja, but thats a whole other post!). I won't tell you how to tweet or that you're tweeting wrong (however, if you're using a service that allows you to tweet more then 140 characters at a time you might be missing the point a little). I just know that Im not good at sentence structure, punctuation or not making a fucking mess of the English language, so 140 characters works for me.

At this point i'd like to inform you my addiction has required me to check my twitter approximately 12 times up to now while writing this. I think I might have an addiction. Is there Tweeters Anonymous?

I proudly go to #tweetups and have met some of my best friends on twitter. Not to mention the self-esteem boost I get knowing almost 700 people care about what I have to say (Ok probably more like 100 people and 600 bots that follow me because I talk about boobs and poutine and booze a lot, I choose to ignore that). I have had roughly 33,000 independent (or re-tweeted whatever) 140 character thoughts. I didn't even know I was capable of so much thought! Who thinks that much? My god I must be some kind of genius!

I now can say I know people from all over the world and right next door, and some that were right next door and now are way the hell across the ocean (Looking at you @Brettstersview... looking at you). I am often introduced to people as KarmicEvolution, which is much cooler then my actual name - Jodi, and also makes me glad I no longer use the internet handle PlayboySparkleBunny6969. When I talk about people its usually followed by "you know @________ on twitter" and when I have a problem with a company my first resort is usually a well placed @reply.

I am a proud Twitter junkie, and for some god forsaken reason I have decided to blog. This could get messy, bring your boots... and beer.
