Blogs I read

[ZombieBabe]

I wanted to share a couple of interesting blogs with everyone, and I'm interested to see what blogs everyone else is into. Feel free to share, or to comment on others that have been posted.

www.whoreonhold.com - I've brought this one up before. An E-friend of mine was in need of work, and someone suggested being a phone sex operator. Now, she loves the job and is a great writer, so she shares her hilarious stories with the world.

www.dunceuponatime.com - I would call it the sister blog of Whore on Hold, but it is a dude that writes dunce, so it's more of a brother blog. Basically, this guy lives a white trash existence in a house with a family that abhors him, and the feeling is mutual. It's very hard to explain. You just have to read it.

www.thepioneerwoman.com/ - Confessions of a Pioneer Woman is about the life and times of a woman that grew up educated in the big city and ends up married to a real cowboy and living on a cattle farm in the Midwest. Her entries run the gamut from funny, sad, gross and adorable. She does photography too, and some entries are about her pictures and her loyalty to Photoshop. She has a cooking blog also (http://www.thepioneerwomancooks.com/). I haven't tried any of her recipes yet, but they look scrumptious.

I wish I had time to check out some of these blogs. I'll see what all other people post here and try and give them a shot. I think the only blog I ever kept tabs on was a bout an American teaching in Japan.

Thanks for these ZB. I love the whoreonhold one, that is hilarious.

Normally I stick to the technology/film blogs:

http://gizmodo.com

http://kotaku.com

http://slashdot.org

http://cinematical.com

I usually just read band blogs on myspace to figure out what's new or coming up. I'll give some of these a shot.

I think the only blog I ever kept tabs on was a bout an American teaching in Japan.It is now called Gaijin Smash (http://www.gaijinsmash.net/), and it is now on the Rudius Media blogroll (some of those blogs are good too, but I don't get into them much).

Rudius Media used to be called Festering Ass, and it is the brainchild of Tucker Max (I've been a member of that board for 2 years now). I believe Tucker has brokered him (the teacher) a book deal, but don't quote me on that.

Frome dunceuponatime.com, one of the most brilliant film/politics analogies possible:

“Democrats are like Aliens. They’re ever-hungry, all consuming creatures with other-worldly ideas so divorced from grounded useful philosophical inquiry as to be dangerous to mankind. They are socialistic to the point that all matters must pertain solely to the collective or else lose all value. To an Alien, mankind exists for only one reason: to be preyed upon by Aliens and forced to give up their lives in order to incubate other Aliens. Their biological imperative demands that humans be forced give all they have just so one more Alien can be added to the collective.

“Similarly, they are egalitarian in the most offensive possible way. While they claim to celebrate all diversity by adopting characteristics of whatever misfortunate creature incubated them, what they really want more than anything else is for everyone to crawl around ventilator shafts, covered with mucus, and belching acid with every swish of their tail. When everyone is a mindless insectile drone, they can finally stop feeling guilty for having been born with a soul but without the strength of character and mental fortitude necessary to be an actual individual.

“If at all possible, Aliens avoid direct confrontation. While they easily constitute half of the extra-terrestrial population, and have incredible biological abilities they will not attack unless their opponents have been made to wander in either a literal of metaphorical maze for at least as long as it takes for their opponent to stop caring about whatever it was they went into the maze for in the first place. To an Alien, human meat is at its most tender when it has become apathetic, disoriented by infrastructure, and bone-weary of actually trying to get something done.

“Republicans are like Predators because they love to run around and kill people based upon a system of ethics that doesn’t really make sense upon closer examination. To a Predator, there’s no greater feeling than dropping out of the sky in order to prey upon a less technologically sophisticated civilization for no apparent reason whatsoever. They have no faculty of compassion, and when they set out to prey upon mankind, they typically prefer to harass dark-skinned people in warm climates or African Americans in crowded inner cities before anyone else.

“While your typical Predator apologist would have you believe that their species is actually very bound up in a system of honor and integrity, this is simply not true. While Predators may have at some point in the past actually have been capable of objective self-examination, it is clear that their belief system is now nothing more than an excuse to kill Aliens and any human being that gets in their way. Predators love confrontation to the point that they will search the whole galaxy, just to find a single life-form that is not exactly like it, for the sole purpose of blasting it to hell.

“Predators are also trying very hard to make themselves appear relevant to mankind. To this end they fashion their hair in styles that went out of vogue decades ago in attempts to trick people into thinking that “they’re with it” just long enough to severely fuck up their lives. They also play a lot of stupid sound bites, flash a bunch of stupid lights, and stock a trophy case full of a bunch of shit in order to dazzle their prey long enough to go for the kill.”

My brother rolled his eyes at me. “Brandon, that makes no sense whatsoever.”

“Exactly. It’s not supposed to make any sense. And just like ‘Alien vs. Predator” whoever wins we lose.”

Suzanne Donahue (http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/17679/suzanne_donahue.html) is totally worth reading, reviewing items like Cambodian Tarantula Wine (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/299847/from_the_alcoholic_xfiles_cambodian.html), Korean Baby Mice Wine (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/295820/from_the_alcoholic_xfiles_korean_baby.html) and, quite possibly the most disgusting thing on the planet, Sardinian Maggot Cheese (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/303126/from_the_food_xfiles_sardinian_maggot.html). She rocks.

Also, TheAgitator.com (http://www.theagitator.com/) was recently brought to my attention. This dude is one sharp Libertarian with a distaste for government (and especially police) corruption. No, he's not a CTer...He brings documented cases (unjust imprisonment, police raids, etc.) to light.

Lastly, I recommend Reason.com (http://www.reason.com/). Their tagline says it all - "Free minds and free markets".

One of my favorite blogs is the sneeze (http://www.thesneeze.com/). It always makes me laugh :)

If we can get a few more favorites, I will gladly create another blogroll on the front page called Member Suggested or something.

[McVain]

Some of my favorites:

www.lifehacker.com - Mostly tech stuff but they give all sorts of tips on how to make your life better.

www.techcrunch.com - "is a weblog dedicated to obsessively profiling and reviewing new Internet products and companies. In addition to new companies, we will profile existing companies that are making an impact (commercial and/or cultural) on the new web space."

www.maxconsole.net - Video game news blog that I must thank Swivel for.

www.ericmcerlain.com/offwingopinion/ - A hockey blog run by a Caps fan.

www.wwtdd.com - A pretty damn funny celebrity news blog.

I'm guessing my sarcasm came through? :D

[Count Dragula]

I hate you all.

[ZombieBabe]

You can't hate a woman that shows you her boobies. You just CAN'T! :slap:

I've a few ex-girlfriends who'd beg to differ. By all means though, this truly warrants much more research. ZB, duty calls ye.

www.wwtdd.com is indeed hilarious.

Also, http://collegecallgirl.blogspot.com/ is a great... sexy... blog :P
