I'm a creep. This is kind of well known so I won't bother to elaborate. I was recently linked to a friend's blog. I have this thing about reading a blog I haven't before. I can't just start from where I jump in and continue. There's some compulsion inside of me to start at the beginning and at least browse the whole life of the blog. So, if a blog has been around for a long time I probably won't start reading it.
Tonight I was sitting around with some time on my hands and decided to start reading this friend's blog so that I could stay current with it. I often get impatient with this process of mine. I get bored and hope for the end to come and to run out of posts (but I still have to do it - I hate myself sometimes). That wasn't the case with this post. This guy is a writer. Big deal, I have other friends who are writers and their blogs are just as average as any other (or maybe slightly above, but I try to stick to reading pretty good blogs). But man, this was good stuff. The posts weren't even topics that particularly enthralled me, but I read every single word - no browsing for me tonight.
Many of the blogs I read are funny. I have hilarious friends that write hysterical blogs and I love to read them, but they're not the same as this blog. The writer comes through. I especially love when he calls attention to himself and the fact that he's writing. Mostly the point of this post is to praise that blog, though I won't link him to this post because that's kind of weird, yeah? Would you find it strange if all of a sudden one of your friends started reading your blog then posted a whole post about how interesting/good it is?
P.S. I feel the way about poetry and art. Just let me enjoy without too much analyzing and be free to feel without knowing exactly why or what.
