It's Back...Blog of the Week

So I've been totally slacking on BOTW because I haven't had a Mac, and I really liked it that one time when I took a screen shot of all the blogs in the running and then announced the winner (that was way cooler).

So, I just bought a Mac, I can potentially do that again, but I am at work and the computer is at home (lame). Anyway...I have a couple minutes to kill - so here's this week's line up:

Platinum Seagulls has been repping it pretty hard. Only dude I know who can reference our now defunct relationship (and the "break") and still come off as endearing. Nice work. It's a good thing we've decided we can still be friends.

p.s. [judges note: I really like the word defunct, and then when I looked it up to make sure the context was correct and saw "SYNONYMS: see DEAD" I knew I had to use it. No hard feelings.]

The Whips would be proud...because Jewnessa made this week's runnings. "I have a theory...part 2" is especially awesome.

Oldies made Louisa a sure thing this week. smiles all around on that one.

Of course she's in the running: CODY! I'd have to say she wins for most interesting blog YTD.

This isn't really a self-nomination. I'm just really glad to see a strong come-back effort from every hater's favorite spot on the web.




Being on the road is no excuse, I was told that today was an "internet day" - really?

Bonni. This blog started with so much potential...and then slowly died. 7 months without an update, I'd like to see some magic happen soon.

I ate a delicious dinner with this fine gentleman and his babe yesterday, so I know he's got shit to post...waiting...

and the winner is...
Naked Blogging Only. I am especially fond of anything posted by Juri (though he hasn't thrown anything up in the last week), there was enough humor in Mike's most recent post to last all day.

Packrat (technology style) Part 1

If you know me at all you know I have a hard time parting with objects. Some might say packrat (many have), others might say sentimental, some just say I'm messy. I have a really hard time parting with objects, I place emotional meaning on them and feel guilty about getting rid of them.

A few examples of what you can't throw away and why:

1) Presents you didn't like.
A stone plaque with some sort of inspirational/religious message engraved on it tucked into a shoe box under my bed. It was a highschool graduation gift from my aunt and uncle...I never put it up, but I just feel like they'd know if I threw it.


2) A ton of Fobia and Iota T shirts and tank tops.
Too many good memories (doesn't matter that they'll never be worn again. I cannot seem to make myself donate them.)


3) Scratched mix CD from my best highschool friend (Lisa).
It skips a lot, but I can still put it on and remember something awesome that relates to each song and my summers with Lisa. How can I toss that!!!




The worst example in my life right now though is text messages. I save text messages that make me laugh, make me happy, and even some that make me sad. Now you get to enjoy a smattering of those (context may not be included).

these babes just don't get old

addendum to my earlier post

yes, it's true that staying bitter makes it easier to care less.
it is also true that I'm having a hard time dealing with the loss of some important people in my life.
another important truth is that I have many wonderful people in my life who are incredible friends, and I feel like that last post maybe neglected to show my appreciation for said people.







insert picture of Juri here (i don't have one on my camera)







































also, when I said that the 30 new friend requests don't make up for the lost 3...well...that's pretty fucking emo - right? so yeah, scratch that comment from the record.
