B-L-O-G-O-R-O-U-S

Today, while websurfing, I realized how much I enjoy reading other people's blogs, and how much I hate it when they don't update too often. First of all, it makes it harder for me to procrastinate.
I do not think too many people read this blog, so I am ultimately not disappointing too many, but I have high hopes for the future.

I was thinking today, I have been reading www.beingfamous.com since I was in 8th grade (that was 8 years ago) Back then, it was just a pet project of Offer Grinwald's roomate, Amir Blumenfeld, wherein people submitted pictures and if they were lucky, would have their 24 hours of fame, or in my brother's case, humiliation (He ended up crying the day a photoshopped picture of him in drag ended up on the site.) Anyway, people could then submit funny comments and they would end up on the site every time the page was refreshed. From this, Amir got hired at college humor, turned beingfamous into his personal blog, and now has thousands of readers each day and 100+ comments per post.
Blogs are really powerful, magical things.
I only read blogs that make me laugh, or make me cry from laughter.
I hope that is not the case for the reader of my blog, because that is a lot of pressure.
Here are links to some blogs I really love. Check em out.

Jake and Amir

Joshua Heller

There are more that are on my links page, and even more that I will link later.
Some you can find linked to Josh Heller's blog. Like the fabulous Jen Marmor, Erica Goldman, or Laura Katz.
