Our first recommendation!

Hello and sorry for the delay in posting.
This awesome blog is yet another fine example of smart blogging with out spite.
Diary of Mindless Minion Number 2,703 has great stories and great story telling, even when the stories are not the blogger's own. Current posts are all about trying to buy a farm house and the hitches she encounters along the way. Anyone who has ever bought, or lived in an old house would completely understand.
Read and follow!

How To Kill A Mockingbird and Other Shameful Searches

I've seen a few blogs now that show the silliness of Google's suggest feature, but what makes this one great is the commentary, which I would put up there with many of the more popular observational humor bloggers. Google Suggest Makes Me Lose My Faith In Humanity doesn't need a lot of snark and venom to get it's point across which gives it high marks in my book.
Check it out, and realize that there are people searching for much weirder stuff than you are:

Pictures! Lovely Pictures!

I love photo blogs and I've come across this gem of a website. Okay so maybe I'm biased because the first picture was of a squirrel, but this is truly worth a look.
And while your there, click through Lydia's profile, she has a great personal blog too. As a former New Yorker who has not been back to the city since 2001, I love seeing my old stomping grounds through the eyes of others. Oddly enough, I was her age last time I was in NYC, goodness how time flies!

I Want My Flying Car Before Robots Take Over The World

Were you aware of the fact that the future has passed us by?
Where's my flying car? Where's my personal jet pack? Why am I still cooking when food should be in pill form or prepared by robot maids? Why aren't tomatoes as big as my head? Huh? Huh???
Paleo-Future is a well stocked treasure trove of articles from publications past regarding what life would be like in the future. While some wildly miss the mark, to the point of being humorous today, others are eerie in how spot on their predictions were.
Caution, geeky and addicting:

And You Thought My Blog Was Cheesy!

I love cheese, doesn't everyone?
I don't like to spend more than $10 on a shirt, but I will gladly drop twenty for some really good cheese. It's all about having your priorities in order.
Cheese Dreaming is a blog about one woman's heroic struggles with humanity...

Okay, it's not, it's about cheese, glorious cheese, from the perspective of a cheese connoisseur. If you've ever found yourself standing in front of a dizzying display of gourmet and artisan cheeses, baffled and feeling less than cultured (punny!) and slightly inept, this is the go to blog for you.

I Like To See Smiling Faces

I just found this adorable, yet somewhat hard to navigate blog. I did not ask permission to post this link, but each post has the option to link to it. Also, I doubt this blog needs the "help" that I am trying to give to bloggers, but it's adorable and I love fun photography.

Because Wikipedia Is A Whole Lot Cheaper Than Brittanica

Isn't the internet great? I'm amazed that in this age of total information sharing that there are still people who get the questions wrong on Jeopardy.
Things I've Learned from Wikipedia relieves us of the need to go find our own random factoids by doing the research for us and posting a synopsis with colorful commentary to boot.
This blog was actually the one that inspired me to create this blog, but when the author hadn't posted anything for a month I was worried that it was over.
A quick warning: Some of the wiki entries are not safe for work and include language or disturbing themes. If you are easily offended or have a weak stomach you might want to skip past current post about GG Allin. But don't be discouraged, there is a lot of fabulous insight to be discovered!

Apologies

Sometimes using a laptop annoys me. I have a tendency to hit buttons I didn't mean to hit, or my hand brushes the mouse pad and I'm clicking something I didn't mean to click.
Apparently I must have done this when I was setting the comment moderation because I had disabled comments. My apologies if anyone was trying to leave one.
I'll be back to awesome blogs tomorrow.

Voices From The Bayou

Anyone who has spent more than 5 minutes in my presence knows that my favorite place in the entire world is New Orleans, any time of the year outside of Mardi Gras.
Imagine my surprise when I happen across a blogger from the area who not only writes about the every day happenings in Louisiana, but is also quite humorous as well!
Bill's Bayou is packed with stories, pictures of odd license plates, random thoughts.
Have a look:

Help Me Spread The Word Of Awesome

Hey there folks!
I think I have a pretty good thing going here and I'd love to it flourish and prosper, which means your blogs will flourish and prosper along with it!
So here's what you need to do: Send me some awesome blogs! Nominate your friend's, your mom's or your own blog.
Me, I'll keep clicking the "next blog" link. I also find the best bloggers tend to leave the wittiest comments on some of the more popular blogs, but recently one of these popular blogs left Blogspot for greener pastures so finding the source of awesome isn't as easy as clicking a linked name.
So in the immortal words of Jerry Maguire, "Help me, help you."*
Can you say no to this face?



*I'd run with "Show me the moneeeeeey!" but I run a no-ad blog here.
