So for this blog hop, I have to recommend three blogs I think everyone else should read.
I don't like to blog about serious stuff, I think the world is full enough of that junk as it is. I like to come here and relax or share a story and a laugh. I try to keep things leisurely here.
As most of the folks I've come across via these events are writers of literature, and are recommending other such folks (not that I have anything against that) I'm going to cover some other bases.
When I started blogging, it was kinda lonely because I didn't know where to go, who to read, or how to even find other blogs, outside of googling for them. Eventually I stumbled upon a few (and it wasn't via that stumbleupon website either.)
Like myself, these folks are just sharing thoughts and stories. They're not selling anything, they just have something to say.
Jim Sullivan (Suldog) does voice-overs for a living, loves critters, and plays softball. Hell of a guy, and can tell a story like it's his job.
With his tongue planted firmly in his cheek, Uncle Skip enjoys a good story, tells a good story, and has a great eye for photography. I know I just shared two blogs for him, but it's the same guy, and he could have just done it all on one blog... Just think of it like one blog, with two separated locations.
Buck is one of the nicest twice-retired guy (USAF and IT industry). I love to stop by his blog especially when I've had a long day at work, or I'm feeling a little tightly wound. He enjoys cigars and a wide array of beer and great music, often posting during happy hour with what he's drinking, and what's on the radio.
That should do it! Unfortunately three folks was the limit, and although I wouldn't get jailed or blackballed for recommending more, I think it wouldn't be fair to anyone whom I recommend, because there would be some who would get omitted... But if you liked these recommendations, when the blog-hop is over, drop me a line, and I'll point you in other directions that you'll enjoy!
Matt, thanks so much for recommending me! I'll try to not embarrass you by proxy.
ReplyDeleteWow! Just being mentioned in the same blog with those two is an honor... and Sully outdid himself today.
ReplyDeletePFF! Jim, I'm pretty tough to embarrass...
ReplyDeleteUnc, you three were in my first six or seven main blogs I followed. I wager if I had found some of the many others, I wouldn't have bothered to continue.
And I can't wait to read today's posts, I haven't had more than 3 consecutive minutes to myself today yet...
Thank ya, Sir!! What Skip said: I'm most proud and humble. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSure thing! I hope people find you guys as readable as I do. :)
ReplyDeleteI did make another post today, but I made sure to direct folks from the blog hop back down to this post first.
Thanks for the recommendations (see, I came back :)). Sorry I missed them earlier, but it was 2pm in the UK, so I was trying to bloghop during my lunch hour, hence the early hour of my visit :).
ReplyDeleteNo one gets in trouble on blogfests, so you're cool! Thanks for participating in our Pay it Forward blogfest.
ReplyDeleteMatt,
ReplyDeleteShit man, you're a writer, a dad, a blogger and network nerd? How in the fizzle do we not know each other?
I'm here as the co-host of the blogfest, and I'm really glad I found you.
Also, I wasn't following your blog until just now, so the blog fest seems to be working, son!

Thanks for hosting, Alex!
ReplyDeleteMatt, the blogosphere is large, I'm glad to have met you! This is why I do these things. :)
Heading over to your blog now!
Thanks for the recommendations. I'm a new follower here too. :) Have a great weekend!
