Daily Visits

Thanks to the brilliant Francis W. Poretto, who listed my blog as one of his daily visits, I was made aware of the lastest in blogging chain letters, Blog it Forward—name inspired by the movie I’ve never seen, nor plan to see. Paying a kindness to a third party after someone has done you a good turn is definitely a concept I believe in, however.

And anyway, listing my daily reads/favorite blogs is something I’ve been meaning to do for a time. I would have posted this last week, but events overtook. Between terrorist attacks and democrat presidential candidates saying all manner of skewerable things, I figured that it could wait.

Fran’s blog would be on this list, had he not “sent” it to me in the first place. Be advised that these aren’t my only daily visits!

The missives “penned” by the blogosphere’s two power couples, the Esmays and the du Toits, are the breakfast of champions. Who needs coffee?

I swing by every morning to find out what the Paratrooper of Love--or the Paratrooper of Guinness in his St. Patrick’s Day incarnation—is up to.

Coffee-spitting hilarious in character, the “Creator of Worlds” is in da House and is devastating when he lets the mask slip.

Proof that some are capable of change for the better and that brilliant minds are often hiding behind tough exteriors; very much the independent thinker.

If I had been this smart and this focused when I was twenty-two, I’d be ruling the world now. This young lady, Condi Rice and I still might. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! <----diabolical laughter

Uplifting, inspiring, humourous. I never go away from this site without something to chew on.

One of the first to welcome me to the ever-expanding blog civilization was the erudite Paul Jané. Paul’s a Canuck, but don’t hold that against him. :-) He keeps the spotlight on many important issues of the day, including the cesspool that is North Korea.

You want good food? He’s got it. You want beer? He brews it You want music? He tinkles the ivories. You want legal representation? He’s got your back. You want a rip-roaring rant? Steve H. is definitely your man.

Leave it to a novelist and screenwriter to get one hooked on his writing. This gentleman always has a unique and informative take on the never-ending, fast-moving events. Additionally, he will often have the scoop on an event under-reported by the “professionals.”

Here, I always know that the feces will always be hitting the fan, but, somehow, Michele never manages to get any on her.

Hey, thanks for all these interesting links, some of which were new to me (including my own!).

[Steve H.]

Thanks for the boost!

I thought you WERE ruling the world.

[Francis W. Porretto]

You're going to give me a swelled head, dear. But thank you.

In your Curmudgeon's not-particularly-humble opinion, the Blogosphere is the most interesting thing to happen to the World Wide Web since it became possible to post graphics. I'm sort of on the fringes -- not really a blog, but not really not one, either -- but I'm edified and entertained by the whole phenomenon.

Nothing is without its costs, of course. Any day now, the FDA will announce that blogging causes cancer in Norwegian white rats.

Said movie never tempted me, but the concept of Pay It Forward, under that name, has been my motivation for jump starting people by the side of the road ever since the day mine wasn't the worst beater out there.

Dare I say it? Baldilocks is my favorite blog.

What teal said.

I wondered what all the excitement was about, and popped over here to take a look! ;^)
Thanks, J.
Oh -- and DO see Pay It Forward!

Sure I get feces on me. I just wipe it off before anyone sees it.

Thanks for including me. By the way, I hated that movie. HATED it.

[Paul Jané]

Thanks for the link, luv. :)
