I wanted to title this blog, “write something damn you!” But, I decided that was a little harsh…You see, I have friends who blog. WordPress people. When I added them to my blogsurfer I thought, “cool. a new and different way to keep in touch. awesome.” Not so awesome. Only a few people actually write with regularity. I get bored. So, I started the hunt for new and interesting people. That in itself has a curse attached. I found Frogshake. Added the blog to my “list.” Soon after the words stopped coming. Same with someone else. And someone else. Huh. Started (again!) searching for other words; other people with interesting things to say. Added them to the surf. The words rolled to a stop. Flat calm seas. Again. What, exactly, is going on? Am I cursing the blogging universe by wanting to read them on a regular basis?
I like words. I like them even better when they are strung together in thought-provoking, insightful, even funny sentences. Best is when they are from people I adore. John Mayer is good with words. I’d read him more often if he gave up the silly singing career and devoted his time to putting pen to paper…like that’s gonna happen! That’s not to say I don’t enjoy his music or his lyrics…he’s just good with the words no matter how he gets them out.
So. Here’s a request. Tell me your favorite blogs. Do you have one I haven’t read? Where do you go for words? I know someone who stalks a weasel. But, what else is there? Email me. call me. text me. comment me. write on my wall. whatever. You will be doing me a huge favor. I won’t add them to the surf or the roll, though. I wouldn’t want to jinx anything!
ps~ a word on my links, speaking of blogs… You may have noticed a change in favorites. Yes, this was deliberate.
Sometimes, you outgrow a life. Sometimes you just grow up. I think I did a little of both.

Hi; found this via tagsurfing.
Pop by http://thistrainisforgourock.wordpress.com/ and see (and say) what you think.

I don’t spend much time on the computer anymore. Due to far too many stoooopid circumstances! But, I would have to say one of my favs is the “You’re Not Alone” one.
I do read you daily 8) and I sometimes check out your links to others. But, you already know that…John Mayer, well, ha nuff’ said! I mean we are talkig John Mayer!
I often wonder if anyone looks at mine. Maybe one or two here or there. But, with the theme of my life this year…it makes complete sense.

Andrew… ~ awesome! You got me to laugh out loud! Thanks! I’m going to keep reading so…you know what that means! Keep writing!
Time~ I read you every single day. You have a spirit that is so beautiful!
Thank you… ♥
I mean it. Seriously.
When the studio closed, so did my blog … but when things get rolling again in a new direction, I hope to have a new blog. I’ll definitely keep you posted!
Definitely do because you always posted the best information & thought provoking ideas. I miss reading you.
I’ve been doing double posting sometimes if I can’t get on every day.
I have a few that I surf to that you might like to read:
lydiascozycorner.com
100daysofpeace.wordpress.com
lcrandall.wordpress.com
While I have not communicated with any of them, I do enjoy reading their words.
Also – at your request – as of today, I’ve started adding images to my blog!
Seeya!

Aim~ thanks for the suggestions. They all seem so…nice. Maybe too nice for the grit I’m looking for. (Read=too nice for the likes of me) I’m craving the gnash your teeth kind of writing that should have me exclaiming “EXACTLY!” Something to get the lead out, if you know what I mean.
Nice bathing suit blog, by the way. 😉
my words will never be an every day thing. i need some excitment in my life. or even an emotional challenge. i love reading you though. wish i could return the favor on a regular basis. i’ll keep an eye out for anything else worth reading. xoxo
I worried that my favorite writers (ahem…you) would think I was being crabapple bitchy. I would never want you to be an every day writer (you’d start makin’ sh!t up just to have something to say and your bare bones truth is what makes your words beautiful so that’s no good). Keep your eyes open to anything with a slight edge to it…xoxox
