As evidenced by the long list of links labeled 'Required Reading' that is just to your right, I read a lot of blogs. Some of my best friends are bloggers all across the country, and one of my favorite parts of the day is checking into my Google Reader feed to see what funny, creative, charming, inspiring words everyone has to share. Also, not to sound like a total creeper (which, to be perfectly honest, I may or may not be), but I even read a few strangers' blogs. (But I'm not going to out myself just yet...)
Some of my favorite blogs, though, are written for the public, so although I am neither friend nor acquaintance, I don't feel too weird admitting my allegiance to them. Post Secret is one of my longtime favorites; I find it strangely therapeutic to read strangers' deepest, darkest confessions. I also love television blogs, with Lincee's Bachelor Recaps making even skeezy British Matt tolerable.
But my new favorite - the be all, end all of hysterical, LOL - no, make that ROTFL - inspiring blogs - is a new one that launched a few weeks ago, Postcards from Yo Momma. Y'all! This site is the best, most hilarious thing I have EVER read. The posts on the site are made up of real emails from and IM conversations with people's moms, and it is a riot. I promise that once you start reading, you will not be able to stop. You'll laugh...heck, you might even cry (from laughing so hard, of course)...and you'll be hooked.
My favorite entry so far was actually posted yesterday:
HELP!
The news is out! Dad bought me a Webkinz. It is reallly well designed and is the biggest craze I’ve seen in a long time.. It is comparable to the tamgachi and beani babies of your early youth. Every first grade through 5th grade student has one. They are awesome, yet a bit addicting.
I need your help. I can’t make enough money to feed my Webkinz. I have failed at three jobs so far. Please do not check my resume. My Webkinz has survived on pudding which is the sale item.
Please tap into my account and do something about it. Remember, I can get kicked off the site if not used appropriately. No mating of Webkinz.
If that doesn't make you ROTFL (Webkinz surviving on pudding?!), I don't know what will.
Honest to blog. :)
