wading...wading...wading....
now playing: marty higgins, "big enough"
man, oh man...
so i just took a few minutes leading up to this post clicking around to see what everyone else writes...sheesh...
i did so because i was reading a CNN article about dead sites on the internet (and i should note that i'm loathe to link to CNN content, as i know it'll be gone before i finish my post, in all likelihood), and i wanted to see just what else was out here.
in the past, i've really only linked to blogs that i would say to someone personally, "look...you really have to read this. maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't, but i take something away from this everytime i go." my current personal fave is beth cherry's north carolina experiment. what she's written is so courageous and so evocative that it almost keeps you from noticing what an absolutely masterful job she's done of designing and assembling her page. she mentions in a few of her posts that she gets mail from strangers on a pretty regular basis, and if you invest some time reading it, you'll know why - by the time you've read a chunk of it, you'll feel like you've known her all your life. my latest addition is david corn's capital games, which never fails to fire my ass up.
dave has written a book, "the lies of george w. bush: mastering the politics of deception", which came out in september from crown publishers.
i can't wait to read it...after i'm finished writing my own.
anyway, what i was getting to, is that you really have to work to find blogs that are worth the calories you invest in sliding your mouse around on your desk...it sure does seem like there are a lot of folks out there without a lot to say.
"ohmiGOD, it is SO monday today. i have algebra first thing in the morning, too. i hate algebra. i hate mondays, and i hate algebra. but i hate them both more when i have to deal with them at the same time. thank god chad's in my class. if i couldn't stare at the left side of his bumpin' bod and daydream about him, i'd just diiiiieeee...."
"my mom is so lame. i just spent $60 at hot topic for this slammin' black leather top, and she won't even let me wear it. so today, i put it on under my sweater and wore it to school anyway. the bitch."
no, these aren't actual posts, just a condensed version of some of what i read. that, combined with my own need to get in touch with my Inner Teenage Skank...
i'll trade several small towns worth of Britney wannabes for one jay or beth or christian anyday of the week. rock on, folks.
man, oh man...
