So, how many folks have entered this contest? How many told TMR a little bit about themselves?

I just entered yesterday and wrote a little bit. Fingers crossed. If the deadline is at noon, I wonder when they will start sending emails out.

I told them this--->
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3508&p=51458&hilit ... ers#p51458 which read...
mojoryan wrote:My parents managed to "rescue" me from a black-market child trading ring that moved children from spiritual cult to spiritual cult based on what they felt was the child's "calling." The way I'm told, I started out in some bizarre (and little known) Cthulhu cult; then was passed to some Hoodoo woman in Arkansas; next to a Mahikari group. The folks were actually on a retreat there and saw me being passed to and fro, and asked about me. They told them my back story, and how I was too "dark" for the Cthulhu cult, too "light" for the Hoodoo lady and the Mahikari didn't quite to know what to make of me, with my "singing in tongues" and natural bent for all things musical...so, my father being a singer and grand-child of Goodnight (a Tsalagi medicine person) knew he and my mother could give me a good home. So, pops started calling me Mojo at an early age, unbeknownst to me, based on my "sorted" background and peculiar musical skill-set (think "Got My Mojo Working" by Muddy Waters...yeah, that's right..."Muddy" [for those who don't know, my "family" name is Muddiman]).

They already had a child named Brian and thought they might like to name me something similar in hopes of fostering a sense of "belonging" in me. Thus, they called me Ryan. Of course, pops didn't call me "Mojo" openly early on, as he didn't want me asking too many questions. But, when I was still a wee lad and found myself drawn to The Doors, the "Mojo" thing reared it's head for the first time; but from me singing L.A. Woman one day, rather than he just saying it. So pops started calling me MojoRyan. Then, of course, I found myself naturally drawn to the likes of Jeff Buckley (one might say, obsessed) and from his song Mojo Pin, I decided that I liked the moniker, and officially adopted MojoRyan.

There ya have it.

I'd entered on Tuesday and I wrote a little bit about myself without sounding like a blabbering child or worse, sounding like an ad for a dating site, lol! Why they're sending emails on Tuesday though? The suspense is bad enough on Friday after 12CT! :lol:
