This is your brain on Blog, any questions? June 4, 2007

 

A fellow blogger has listed my blog as a thinking blog in a post here http://totally-pissed-off.blogspot.com/2007/06/we-are-thinking-bloggers-who-knew.html and I am glad to be nice and return the favor in this post.  The Blogs that people like say something about them.  The five blogs I have listed below say something about me.  Here are some things I like.  I like nice people, creative people, photography and art, ranting constructively, humor, interesting variety and cultural tid bits.  The blogs I am listing have those things and more. 

Goodness Graciousness http://goodnessgraciousness.blogspot.com/  Speaking of nice, this blog is over flowing with nice, a very underrated quality in my opinion.  I hate the expression “nice guys finish last” and I don’t think it is true.  Jennifer is  very smart and widely read so her posts are interesting as well as uplifting.  Her cosmic Aura can only do good things for your well being.  Please visit her blog and if you want to light a candle and get into the lotus position first, that would be good :) 

Very short novels http://davidbdale.wordpress.com/  I guess a lot of people are drawn to blogging because they like to write, me included.  When I found David Dales web site which consists of 299 word short stories, my first reaction was, I want to try that.  I asked him if he actually counts all those words and he told me M.S. Word counts the words.  He saw where I was going and let me know that his site was for his stories only.  Maybe some day I will put out a short story and ask the master to give it a read just for fun.  David has a deep well spring of creativity because he cranks out a lot of quality stories.  Each one is loaded with imagery and interesting situations.  It was a dark and stormy night when David Dale was born. 

Innings http://normanroberts.blogspot.com/  How does Norman Roberts do it?  Where does he get all those fascinating, funny, strange, art-full pictures?  I would put his website up against any other website on the planet as the most universally enjoyable destination for all people everywhere.  I won’t say anymore because his pictures do all the talking.  

Twisted Sisters http://totally-pissed-off.blogspot.com/  I have some ranting going on in my brain and on my blog so when I found “Totally pissed off” I felt like I was right at home.  It’s refreshing to see someone pissed off about something because there are a lot of things we SHOULD be mad about.  Those people need to stop that and why hasn’t somebody done something about that other thing, dammit!   Their post listing me as a thinking blogger is why I am doing this post to spread the love.   The sisters also have a great sense of humor which helps us get through being pissed off. 

Webwunderkammer http://www.in-sect.com/ This next site is fun because Zep is sitting over there in Germany and has a bug eye on all of us and finds interesting things to highlight.  I think he has an artists eye because he includes a lot of visual stuff that creative people enjoy.  We all see a lot of the same stuff but don’t give it a thought.  Some people have an antenna for things to put back up in our face to remind us we should be laughing or scratching our heads.  Some websites are focused but it’s nice to have a place to go where you just don’t know what you will find next. 

Here are the Thinking Blog rules:

The participation rules are simple:
