Blog of the Week

Word of the Week: Optimism.
I felt a very fresh posi vibe from the blogosphere this week; people must have received their new crystals.

Really though, I felt a collective sense of calm and good looking at every one's blogs this week and it really made my day.

Ryan. The pictures from Omaha. Love.

SuperBeast dudes/dudettes. The "am I right or am I right" link is especially nice.

Roxie. For her adorable post which led to this awesome site about lego ads.

Sam. I think reading this really set the tone for how I felt about all of the rest of them. Nicely enunciated dude.

Louisa. Damn the girl has a way with the camera (she's got a romantic eye).

Juri. This might sound slightly negative, but I know Juri and I don't think that's what he means by it. Live your life. Ignore all the bullshit and stop making rules for how it's supposed to go.

Lauren. I'm glad you shared some Yeats. Very nice. Pretty birthday desires too.

Roomie. BSE. Sam & me high-fiving. I will own this print, just need dollars.

Crista Bell loves to travel. I love that about her. She also loves hip hop and tattoos and we're going to see the gaslight anthem this weekend. I told her I'm stealing her most recent tattoo. She didn't mind.

Cody. She and Sam definitely win on the posi-crystal-vibes this week. LOVE.

I feel like a lot of us have had a crazy couple of days/weeks/months/year(s). I don't think any of that will be over any time soon, but I'm glad to see that through it all we remain a happy, thoughtful, creative group of people who push ourselves and each other to be those things.

posi-fresh ya'll.

With that being said. It's a TIE. Never before in the history of BOTW have I declared a tie.

Sam & Cody. Keeping it real.

Excuses (and a great day)

So I have yet to post BOTW. I'm sorry. I've been reading all your blogs, but I'm having some serious computer issues that I can't seem to fix.

#1 Video and music streaming have now been blocked at work. Since a lot of you post things I'd like to stream I have to wait to post-work hours to do this. In case you don't know - that can often mean 3am.

#2 We don't have internet at home. So 3am internet sessions are just not happening.

#3 I like doing BOTW with photos, and my new (to me) mac saves screen shots as .pdf instead of .png. Blogger can't handle that and I can't find a way to fix it.

Excuses aside - I'm not going to post BOTW yet (loser) because I haven't enjoyed all the content there is to enjoy (yet). Right now it looks like Roomie has a solid lead (is that pretentious)? I think Scott might have a close second (but I don't really know because I haven't watched anything "stream-necessary" yet).

This is a picture from Arizona. Mike and I took a trip down on Thanksgiving two years ago (really - is that right???) and we went exploring. It was amazing and really fun, just an awesome time and a really happy place.
I'm feeling like I'm in a really awesome happy place now too. Glad for it all friends (thanks).

BOTW Preview (Sneak Peak)

I've never hinted as to which blog I'm leaning towards for BOTW...until NOW!
This girl is giving you all a run for your money.

I know it's nice out, which means we don't sit in front of our computers as much, but that hasn't stopped Michelle from producing solid gold.

Get on it if you want a chance to win this week. May the best blog win.
