Blogs thicker than water (1)

This is a long-overdue entry but I’d still just like to cheer on these blogs that make surfing for not a few readers worthwhile.

Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright
This is blog is the brainchild of my friend Carl whom I’ve known since we were in grade school. It’s an eclectic mix of music, literature, random musings, and occasional starsightings like his entry of July 9th, 2007. This guy as a human being is Brilliant- and his band The Outlaws can sure bring da house down.

Vignettes
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G P-H-O-T-O-S! Nifty trade articles. With a fine smattering of entries that awaken his readers’ social responsibility. A site for sore eyes, I live vicariously my dream of being a photographer through this blog =]

Tooth and Claw
This is Dr. Johann’s blog- one of my bestest friends from medical school. An ever-reliable pal who dispenses not only quality medical care but great advice as well, he has so many pursuits that his foray into blogging has not enjoyed much follow through. Still, his entries, albeit not plentiful, reveal a good head atop his shoulders.

Loud Cloud
I have been a fan of this blogger ever since I wandered into earlier incarnations of his handiwork almost a decade ago. At times poignant, at times petty, but outstanding in his insightfulness, he dares say things we, mere humans, struggle to keep locked in our hearts and minds for fear of social reprisal. He has that happy élan about him that is just endearing. And it is from him that I’ve learned my often (ab)used phrase of shameless self-promotion…

Which brings me to, ehem, nominate my my own blog, this very blog that you’re reading. I’m just seconding the nominations already put forward for Weeks 2 and 3 of this writing project.[sheepish grin]

And the last on this hopefully preliminary list is a just-discovered nook of cyberspace (of course not discover as in discover a la Magellan… I guess more appropriate is just-stumbled-upon-blog- not that it’s an obstruction to any path that may lead me or anyone to stumble- I am flat-footed so I am prone to stumbles hence my abhorrence for sports, except for tennis which I absolutely love- to watch on tv- but not play. But I digress.) OKAY OKAY- this next blog that I frequent is Aryo’s Islander in the City, a collage of personal ruminations, issues-based ponderings, replete with a sidebar that tickles the fancy of many a trivia enthusiast with such links like This Day in History, Word of the Day, etc.

In this blogosphere awash with many fine reads, inundated by blogs benign and belligerent, these are just some of the blogs which provide much of my recommended daily allowance of sanity and information. Kudos to them (err- us).
