New People

Yeah, I've added new people. Under the newly added American Heroes section, I've added a blogger named Swallowed Alive. He's a Navy guy attatched to an army unit, doing a stint in Iraq for Uncle Sam. Great blog. Seriously. If you get the time, check out a post he wrote called, The Mexican's Weapon It's sure to make you think. I only link well-written blogs, and this guy draws you in.

Another new person on the links is Georgia Peach. She's a hottie, and she's every guy's dream. Not because she goes too far on HNT (but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if she did) but because of how cool she is in her relationship with her boyfriend. Damn, I wish my wife was that cool! She brings a vibrance to the blogosphere, that's tough to match.

And last but not least, Birdy. Tough, gritty, New York. This guy is to New York, what Emienem is to Detroit. Just like the movie 8 Mile, Birdy works in a factory for a long time, then achieves success as an entertainment executive.

But speaking of people in the entertainment industry, I've got Intellectual Insurgent linked to my blog. Talk about tough, hard-hitting blogs! Her and Mahndisa both, have blogs that really make you think. Mahndisa makes you think from the right, Intellectual Insurgent makes you think from the left. Both mix it up on each other's blogs too. Great, great reads.

Some of the people I've had on there a while:

VX: in a class all by herself. Doesn't try to be hot - that's what sets her aside from all the posers out there who think they're God's gift to humanity. VX is in grrrrrrrreat shape, but readily admits to driving a Japanese beer can, and filling it up with smelly jogging shoes, because she jogs in any and all weather. To me, that's hot. Not because I like smelly sneakers (I don't) but because she admits to being a human being, rather than some untouchable waif. I hate those people.

Leesa: makes you think, but not from a moral standpoint like Intellectual Insurgent and Mahndisa; Leesa makes you think about life itself, and has a powerful ability to do that.

Then there's my original link; last, but not least, is Maya. Maya is a great writer who's in a blue funk right now, questioning everything about her life. She's the most engaging and marvelous writer I've read, and I wish she'd go back to the days of yore, where she'd write these epic-lengthed posts, that made you forget just how much time you were spending, reading what she wrote. Come back, Maya!

Hope this covers everyone. Now, I'm off to watch my favorite Friday night show: Numb3rs. Good night!

    Hey Boris: Thx for participating in the discussions. The post yesterday got on my nerves. When I came home after being stranded in Pleasanton for a while, I saw Chance's comments to himself and wondered if I should delete the post. But you all came through and produced interesting dialog. Thanks for the shout out. BTW those pics are funny. I am gonna go out tonight, so have a good rest of weekend:)

    Thanks Boris. You make me want to change my name to something with a more historic connotation . . . Gargamel or Gobo.
    But just a tiny correction. I'm a Navy guy serving with the Army. If this makes me an Army guy, I'll accept that one. Thanks again for the shout out.

    Boris, THANK YOU. You are a thoughful and inspiring person. But I'm shocked you don't look at your own blog and think it's the best. Your storytelling skills are amazing... I love how long and detailedthe entries are. I need to get back to doing that. The days of yore may return yet.

    There's alot of very successful car salesmen I know who live in the most coveted housing developments in the town where I live, and they used to get into arugments over which salons gave the best pedicures.

    Thanks for the shout out. I have been unusually busy lately. Have hardly had time to write.

    Not sure what I want to write about.

    Thanks so much for the shout out. I saw it Saturday but I was too shy. I truly appreciate your comments. They are funny yet thought-provoking. Thanks Boris for the compliment.

    Leesa:

    Sometimes inspiration hits when we least expect it! Maybe being busy is just the distraction you need to free yourself from your inhibitions.
