Reading blogs on the web can be a dangerous experience. You can get sucked into reading a site about your favorite political beliefs, find yourself debating issues with others on your stand against the war on Iraq. Maybe you find yourself at a photoblog of your favorite city, seeing things in a perspective you’ve never seen before.
But there is no doubt about it. Personal blogs are indeed the best reads on the web. Sometimes it’s because of the writer’s intellect. Maybe the stories are captivating. The ability for the writer to allow you to come into their lives and share themselves with you is also empowering.
I’ve decided to pick out a few blogs I’ve checked out the past few months and give you a reason why you should consider reading them. In order to be fair, none of them are sites I regularly read or link. How I found them varies. Maybe they commented here before. I followed a link on another site. Plugboards. Forums. Suggested links from a friend.
Bathroom Reading
It’s not fancy. The graphic layout is beyond plain. No special “theme” for the holidays, or any reason for that matter.
It’s not a personal blog, although the author does interject personal anecdotes here and there.
It’s a fun read and I enjoy heading there for a good laugh.
Damn Jezebel
Mia’s a 20-something Dallas suburbian who is funny as all sin. With a twisted view, she tackles all kinds of things in a way that makes me laugh out loud.
She has a disclaimer that denotes that she posts various pictures of herself both nude and not, but that’s not the best feature of the site.
Totally awesome read, and every time I go there I am in tears before I leave.
D-Listed
The Queen of the D-List comedians is Kathy Griffin, but the rulers of the D-List Celebrity blogs is D-Listed. This site is FILLED with reasons to laugh.
Pictures of Ricky Martin (he’s gay?), the Osbournes looking ugly (who know pictures like that existed?), and an insider’s look at Mariah Carey’s 17th birthday party (um…)
So have no fear, fellow web surfer. The internet isn’t filled with pandering twits who like to use kitchen utensils to clean their children or three-titted morons who can open a longneck beer with her jaw that talk about maturity as if she was the vice chair of the local Jay Cee’s but goes around poking fun and begging for more dirt like some kind of gossip whore.
You just have to actually look for them.
