hmm

Ok so I'm waiting for another episode of Prison Break to load... damn internet... and I'm bored. So I thought I might blog surf for a bit.

And lo and behold what do I see on the blogger dashboard page but a list of must-see Blogs of Note. Thank you blogger for making my blog surfing easy. I am lazy after all.

Bucky @ http://buckymania.blogspot.com/

Um ok Bucky, Mr debut country CD, I don't think I've seen a haircut that bad since Billy Ray Cyrus all those Achey Breaky years ago. Seriously. Check this guy out.
OMG I just noticed his archives go right back to this time last year... and they're still peddling this guy as a debut artist? The next best thing? Uh huh, sure. The public aren't that stupid... are they?
And I still can't find a box or something that tells me if he's gay or straight.. or bi. I sure as heck can't tell. I mean, he looks gay, but who's ever heard of a brokeback country singer? Oh. Brokeback Mountain... cowboys... yeah maybe he IS one of the fairy squad. With a haircut like that I can't imagine any selfrespecting woman would give him a second glance anyway... unless she were a lesbian and it was dark and she'd had quite a few drinks and she accidentally mistook this poor soul for another lezbo. Possible, very possible...

Fred's Head @ http://fredsheadcompanion.blogspot.com/

Hmm. This site "contains tips, techniques, tutorials, in-depth articles, and resources for and by blind or visually impaired people." Sounds like a valuable blog to me... till one starts to wonder what a blind person is doing reading an online blog? Do they make brail blogs yet? I guess its just a matter of time, but still.

Tumaini Kids @ http://tumainikids.blogspot.com/

Wow. Brings a tear to the eye. This is great... not only from a socio-cultural perspective, but also from the point of the view of the children involved. Oh, btw, this is a blog belonging to all the children who live at the Tumaini Children's Home in Nyeri, Kenya. Check it out.
So, yeah, where was I?
*reads some more of the blog*
How great is this! The kids are not only communicating with the outside world, they're also expanding their typing and computer skills, etc. Imagine the sense of achievement they must feel seeing their own words up in cyberspace, and then imagine their elation when someone actually reads what they wrote and leaves them a comment. :)
These kids are mostly orphans, living in a very hard part of the world. Visit their site and drop them a hello.

Church of Baseball @ http://baseballchurch.blogspot.com/

Um, ok. The fact that I stumbled onto this site directly after the nice, poignant Tumaini Kids site only means that I'm gonna have to type what I think of this baseball blog in capital letters: PFFT.
Seriously, who on earth is this obsessed with a "game"? A game dammit. Men (and women) run around in silly looking costumes, make weird signs and gestures at each other, hit a ball (or attempt to hit a ball), run around if they can... need I go on?
Calling this blog the Church of Baseball is probably apt too, considering the blog writers seem to idiolise the baseball players as if they were gods. More blah blah.
Get a life, geez.

And on that note, I think I'll go back to reading a bit more of the Tumaini Kids website.... cos dammit my Prison Break episode is STILL only half loaded. Talk about grrr.
