Why say, when you can read
I was flipping thru the blogs... much like flipping thru some TV channels or some random magazines in some waiting room. No, it is actually much much better than both. That's because they are predicable and some of them really good.
But what is interesting is, the tones of each of the blog. Some with so much of similes and beauty, that when it does not hit the mark, it brings your hand to your throat - the closest it can get to choking the other person is chocking the person who is reading it.
Some others in oh-we-are-so-not-awed by whatever, kind of dry humor. A few actually belong to the club of people who will not be a member of any club that might be ready to have them.
And then those that go on to claim they are a fan of things that most reasonable people would be embarrassed to be a fan of. If you read them, you do not get an enthusiasm for whatever; you get a feeling that 'others are embarrassed to know we are a fan of this'. 'We never pretend, but choose carry our weirdness on our sleeve.'
Hmm, much fun flipping thru the blogs...
