Dope Blogs

December 14, 2007

If you've paid attention to all of my blog's content - meaning you have a crush on my blog - you'll find a section called "Dope Blogs". 

What are these? They're my "blogroll", except I hate the world blogroll. It sounds like a stack of underwear falling, and rolling afterwards. Gee, what is it with me and underwear anyway? I hope that makes it abundantly clear how much I hate that word, so if you feel tempted in adding me to some list (why thank you!), don't tag by saying you'll put me in your blogroll. That'll make me think you've got obsessions on rolling me in your underwear. Eww.

Today I will introduce you to those blogs on my list. What should you expect? Why, that today's entry will be more optimistic! Like rainbow and butterfly and polka dot pants optimistic. Well, ok, not like that. Expect this to be sort of like when I acquiesced with my classmates in singing "If we hold on together", but because I'm such a hardened rebel, I sang "If we hurled on together" instead. That kind of better-than-refusing optimism. If that intimidates you, go read some clinical Bob Ong tripe or something. If that does not intimidate you, then please be comfortable, for I will exalt these authors and give you a worship guide! Why? Because I love my readers! 

"But Nightdreamer, that sounds so weird coming from you!"

Shut up! I hate you!

Gene Park # - He's a journalist from Hawaii and is quite a guru on worldly issues. I don't know where he gets all his knowledges from, but I like reading him because I often end up learning a lot.

Mike Doolittle # - He's a personal trainer, who likes to play videogames and build high-end PC's. He also spends his time playing the guitar and reading religious books. Sounds weird enough? 

Casa de Bracken # - It's really painful that I have to wait a month before Mike Bracken updates his blog with comprehensive reviews of movies, games, comics or whatever it is he's geeking out on. 

Unfortunately the first 3 blogs require a myspace account to read.

Sam Oh Show # - Yes, it's Sam Oh, the host from ETC. We actually know each other, and she was the one who introduced me to Murakami (and I hope she's enjoying Watchmen, a graphic novel I encouraged her to read). Unfortunately, I think she's deleted her friendster blog, so if anyone knows if she has another blog, please inform me.

The Philippine Experience # - Allow Schumey to brush up your knowledge of the Philippine culture, people and politics. It's political read minus the pounding-readers-into-submission-with-legal-terms. Great stuff all throughout. Power to the people!

Thoughts in Disarray # - My best friend's blog. Michelle's been spending a lot of time getting all different kinds of licenses (mostly medical. She majored in some college of medicine subject) and it's great that her hard work is paying off. She loves the internet more than I do though, so expect a lot of dorkiness. Hahaha.

Astra # - if I'm not mistaken, Twinkle works for rotaract. A good writer, but she needs more updates.

Empyrean # - Ley is my first web design teacher (I now have four). I don't know what it is about being in her company that makes people so ebullient, but that's just the way it is. Is that why she calls herself empyrean? She loves to write too. And she is a Harry Potter fangirl. The book 7 that I read was actually hers; too bad I didn't like the book.

Dirty Lil Secret # - Aunt Adelaine from Malaysia, oh how I love to tease her around. Right, aunt?

Nifty Universe # - Novz is probably less old-fashioned than the name of his blog suggests. Haha I so love making fun of people. Please don't do that to me though, because I'm tall. Kidding. Anyway, novz love of writing seem to be at a recrudescence, and he might post short stories someday. I hope I could do the same.

At Wit's End # - Hardly. Your wit will not end with reading dhey's posts, unlike when you read my awful puns. Ouch did I write that? Sorry, I'm not erasing it. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! I don't know what it is about dhey's blog that is so addicting. Maybe it's the unpretentious humility, the simplicity and the optimism of it?

EOD's Other Side # - I admit I haven't read her that much, but I like some of her Photoshopped works.

Cubicled Playground # - I suppose it's about corporate topics. Also, Cyril's married for 2 years. He's a new blogger. Having a newfound love for writing, perhaps?

The Nut Box # - YOU WILL LOVE THIS BLOG AND IF YOU DON'T I WILL HYPNOTIZE YOU! Reading J is like talking to a child prodigy whose head is not all in the clouds unlike some arrogant "genius" that I know of who'd talk down to others as "not the same level". So, yes, J and I are at the same level. Hahaha!

[disclaimer: in case you may think that I made that "genius" guy up, I did not. And also, I'm not talking about me, I promise.] 

The Exile of a Superstar # - I only met wits recently, and already I'm finding his blog posts very entertaining. And creative too. Too bad he's an Atenean. Saying you're Atenean is like admitting that you listen to Michael Learns to Rock. Hahaha! By the way I have like two blogs on my list that has "wit" in them somewhere, so what does that say about the person compiling the list? Probably not acerbically much?

Behind the Shrubbery # - Yeah, you tell them Liz, nothing should be taken at the face value EVAR!!!1111 So all you graphic junkies who laud Transformers (2007) because it has all these CG's, I'm sorry to say this but TRANSFORMERS SUCKS! Anyway, read Liz if you like sci fi, philosophy and politics. And if you don't, then go read the confession of some heiress or something, you productive "deipnosophist"!

Tainted Song # - If she was actually Joni Mitchell it would be tres cool (and blue) but as it is, Tainted Song is still quite good. And Joni, for some reasons, is really enamored with Michelle's blog. Also, there's something to be said about my constant digressions or corninesses. What does it say about me? I don't want to find out.

Tales of the Fencesitter # - I only just added fence, so I don't have too much comment. But yeah, he writes well, and yet he's claiming to have a Dominique Francon moment? I shrugged.

Drinking Coffeecola # - "it is good and it's good for you" is what Brad will tell you. He testified that mixing coffee and cola made for a drink that have him stay awake finishing a video game he rented. I don't want to know how it tastes though. His blog is new, but I've read him in too many places to realize that he's got skillz! Go figure how.

Those are my list of blogs worth reading. Anyone knows more?
