Snooping

So, in honor of the newly re-designed blog, I have decided to do a semi-weekly, perhaps weekly, post on my favorite random blogs via the next blog function on Blogger, whereby I simply click and find something I'm really impressed with and then show it to you!

This week, I have 4 selections:

#1: http://darirantau.blogspot.com/

I was immediately taken with the family photos, the tradition, and the beauty of it all. This blogger has a pretty incredible life or so it seems, and is very generous to document it online. I would really love to sit down and just ask about all the goings-on, the generations, the weather, the language, the everything..

#2: http://bixodotrapo.blogspot.com/

What can I say? - Art, jewelry, color, buttons, SOLD! I obviously don't speak the language, but I am still trying to figure how to acquire these incredibly charming designs or how to hone the ability to make some of one's own.

#3: http://qualityinprint.blogspot.com/

This is where the nerd in me comes out. Do I know anything about printing, or paper? Other than S telling me that the Chinese invented it, along with Slim Jims, unicorns, and vacation time, absolutely not. However, this blog is a truly intriguing read, and it mixes humor into a highly critical, highly technical, and certainly professional web space. Bravo, and I will be checking in with you whenever I need a random factoid to freak out friends and family.

and finally,

#4: http://stufffchristianslike.blogspot.com/

Being an email subscriber to Stuff White People Like, I have to say this is a great blog with a similar feel, whether one is Christian or not. The blogger being Christian, there is reverence where reverence is due. The blogger being awesome, there is a ton of wit, gentle mockery of the hypocrisies of our common human nature, and wonderful examples of how God is great, but we often as believers are just a hot mess.

As icing on the cake, blog posts include parody song lyrics like the following:...

“Just pray. Gonna be okay.
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just pray. Spin that Bible babe.
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just pray. Gonna be okay.
Duh-duh-duh-duh
Pray. Pray. Pray. Just pray.” (To the tune of Lady Gaga's "Just Dance")

...And re-interpretations of biblical encounters like the following line from the Lord:

"I'm Jesus. Don't try to play me out."

...I'm in love!

Well, kids, have a happy Father's Day weekend.* I'll be back next week with another 7 days' worth of my own brand of blogging bravado.



*Have you noticed that there aren't a lot of funny Father's day cards out there that are not also gross and/or immasculating? Most I have seen involve in the "humor" a) farting, b) letting Dad know Mom wears the pants, c) asking for money.
