I’m putting the ball in your hands. Your challenge is to tell me about some thing (or things), that will enrich my life. I’m not going to give you Tell Me What I Am Missing Out On In My Life completely free reign though… so you don’t have to wonder to yourself “But Scott, where do I even begin”? I am going to take some of the hard work out of it for you and narrow it down to some specific areas: Music. Books. Movies. Computer Games. Blogs.

So here’s what I want from you. I want you to recommend to me one example from any or all of those categories that you think I would enjoy/would move me/would make me think/or have some otherwise decent impact on me. But that’s not all. I want you to tell me why you are recommending it to me, and if you’ve got the time, let me know what sort of effect it had on you. That is, give me a reason to take you up on your recommendation.

For example, say that you were going to recommend a genre of music to me, yeah? Say Neo-Fusion Rockabilly, right? Don’t just say Neo-Fusion Rockabilly. Tell me why. Otherwise, knowing not a skerrik about Neo-Fusion Rockabilly, I’m not going to have the foggiest idea where to start, and likely just discard the whole thing and move on.

So you have your marching orders, should you choose to accept them. Tell me about Music, Books, Movies, Computer Games and/or Blogs that I should experience. I’m counting on you to add a little something something to my life.

Wait wait wait, before you go scurrying off into the comments, why don’t you consider asking your own blog readers (if you have a blog), to do the same for you. You never know, they may just have a few gems that you would never have discovered before if you had not asked. And if you do post asking them this same question, make sure you leave a link to the post in the comments here as well. That way, I can stop by. I may even have a suggestion or two of my own to add.
