The Deadpost Initiative! - Week 18 - Share your most undervalued work + week 17 winners ($10 SBD prize pool)

in #contests6 years ago (edited)

What is the Deadpost Intitiative?

The Deadpost Initiative is an attempt to give love to some posts that were overlooked during their short 7 day life span, a chance to bring your old posts back to life and maybe make some friends in the process. The goal is not only to share some love with SBD but also by engagement to generate discussion.

Last week

I apologize for not being entirely active this week, I was incredibly busy, had lots of ups and downs and it was cold. I needed some time for myself and some time to roll around in bed and recharge. I wish the prize pool could have been as high as it was the past 2 week but maybe we will do better this time around.

Great variety again, I like the mix of users I'm familiar with and those that I'm not, it's always nice to have old friends and also new ones join in.

Last Week's Winners

@insideoutlet - $ 2.5 SBD prize

@insideoutlet gets naked! On Christmas! At the beach! She and her husband are lovely. Not much I can say about this post, it's really fun, check it out for yourself!

Nude Christmas


@crystalize - $ 2.5 SBD prize

@crystalize once again shares with us some incredible art that certainly deserves a lot more attention than it got. I can't believe this shades are home made! I'm always amazed at the talent hiding all over the place on steemit.

Art Project - Adorable Tiny Lampshades!


@yesaye - $ 2.5 SBD prize

One of my favorite new members of the Be Awesome community, @yesaye provides a kick in the ass, motivation to go out and do what you should be doing instead of putting it off! Read this one last and get off the internet immediately after and get something done!

GET SHIT DONE.


@lavidaesunviaje - $ 2.5 SBD prize

@lavidaesunviaje shares the good and the bad while backpacking in America in a beautiful photo diary. He's got a lot of passion and a sense of adventure. I think I'd probably enjoy hanging out with him and his partner so I will need to spend more time to his blog.

US, solar eclipse and festival experience!!!

In that case I'll give you a follow!

Hello everyone, I hope you all are having a wonderful day. And me too. Here is my post for the dead post entry.
And a very big thank you to @whatamidoing. :D

I'm telling you, ghosts do exist.

While I prefer to refer to the kinds of "ghosts" that you refer to here as "skeletons in the closet", I did still find your expose' to hit a chord.

It is clear to me that you are regretful of certain things that you did and perhaps others that you did not.

This is fine. It is actually a good thing to feel this way.

The next step is two-fold.

Plan your redemption and forgive yourself.

Even if somebody near and dear may no longer be around to physically pat you upon the back for doing so, doing something that they would have wanted - as a gesture loaded with meaning directed at them - will make a big difference. You'll do right by your actions and the gnawing feeling will ease - the scales tipping back in your favour.

Good luck.

This has my vote.

I vote for this one. Great read on the ghosts of our pasts...the memories/expreinces/failures that we allow to continue to haunt us...

Very true, man. Everybody has own ghosts...

I can relate, although I feel that facing past pain and trauma can be extremely therapeutic, like taking a shit haha. But this can only be beneficial when we are ready to face it and won’t let it drag us down.

Nice!

I would like to offer this post of mine for consideration - it is a heartfelt photo blog of our family's move into land based homesteading life in Oregon. Thank you for checking it out, and for any follows and upvotes! I am glad to be connecting through this platform.

A beautiful overview of your settling in for homesteading.

Loved the photos and the easy-to-digest description of the process. I also got to know that "queen-excluders" and "supers" are a thing in bee hives.

It is hoped that things are going a lot better in Oregon than in Costa Rica!

This has my vote. :c)

Yhats a beautiful life you’ve got there!

Here is my entry - a story about Riga Motormuseum with few photos

https://steemit.com/bescouted/@axeman/riga-motor-museum-part-1

Oh wow thanks for the win! I really appreciate other taking the time to read my post and vote on it. Here is another one I spent the better half of a day creating for it get a little lots amoung the waves.

Confucious said what?

I really enjoyed the post. Most of us are blinded when we talk to anyone and use negative words often but infact the results show that we are the victim of our thoughts and words.
Thanks for sharing

That was good, I am a total water snob and only use filtered water lol.

Voted for this the first time, happy to vote for it a second. Words have vibration, thoughts have vibration, some vibratenin harmony while so are just jarring to everything around.

Hello @whatamidoing just want to know that if i have joined about 15 days ago can i recommend one of mine?
Thanks anyway!
This merely isn't a contest but actually, a chance for minnows to get their work recognized and gather better audience! Nice initiative.

I can really appreciate this. While I don’t believe all growth requires struggle, I do believe that all struggle exists there to spur growth.

Nice!

I am sure you must have heard the very old saying

A ship docked in the harbor cannot survive the storms.

Everyone has to struggle someday or the other and who has yet to face it will be broken unless he understand one simple yet very peculiar thing
I am alright even if the last one, each single one of my beliefs is devastated.
Only weeds grow without struggle sir.
(Not the important one you might think :D )

Hi,its on interesting contest.

Hear is my post and i like very much because in this i given one lovely silent love story.pls cheak this

https://steemit.com/story/@lavanyalakshman/silent-love-of-two-hearts-c94ee9418e924

Its been a while. Glad to get in on another edition of @whatamidoing's excellent deadpost initiative. I think that I missed one or two of them.

This week's post is quite self-explanatory and won't be everybody's cup of tea:

Defining the Honest Politician




Source

I loved the jokes and also the text... personally I haven’t voted on the las 15 years .. there’s no even one candidate that actually represents the people’s interests

I must say this one is a very tricky subject to write on. The image has gone so bad of the politics as people don't even consider politicians to be humans anymore.It is very depressing thought. It is wrong to assume every politician to be a dirty one, But I think I am too late. And honestly, because of this attitude the genuine guys, the one with the goals are not getting a fair chance.
BTW I am from India. The world largest democracy means world largest collection of politicians and we are having a hard time finding good politicians. (Chuckles)

Keep them quality deadposts coming and we'll surely hit 'trending' someday!

For this week's deadpost I have something really funny to offer:

Finland's 100th Anniversary, and Guess What Market Economy Did to It?


Enjoy :D
