…that it is about time I told some of you where to go. Because I think you need to hear it. I and I am going to tell you why.
I spend all my spare some of my time surfing. This is a small list of some of the places I go. And please feel free to add to the comments section any sites you may think I should visit. A recommendation is always the best way. (oh, and if I haven’t listed your site but come on a regular basis, chances are it will be in part 2 of this post. If I did them all in one post, I would be writing for hours! I surf a lot!)
As you will see, I hang around with people well above my station.
Floog: Well this is as good a place to start as any. What can I say about Mr Floog? Well, I suggest you get your butt over to his siteand have a look. The content is random in a non-random kind of way. If that makes sense. Being English, and a LOT older then me (ok, like 10 years or something), he sometimes writes posts about stuff that I remember from growing up. Sometimes his site can be a trip down memory lane like that. In Other posts you will find quite awesome poetry. And then another time you will read a story he has written. See? Random. But I personally think his writing ability is genius, and it fills me with a lot of jealousy. But then, read that as a good thing. If I am jealous of you, it is because I wish I could do the things you do. So go over there and read “Bloodstone”. A mini story over 11 parts. Oh, and if you are in the know and have contacts, get the man a goddamn contract to put his words in to a book, and on to a shelf at Waterstones. I mean it. Go to his sitewhen you have time on your hands. When I say time on your hands, I mean that you can sit and read for 20 minutes. Don’t speed read it. (I should also mention his photography abilities, but ya know, he will get a big head, and I am already going a green colour)
Next up, I have a site which equates to the cardinal number of 4 plus 1. I am trying to work out if this means that the person in question has a quite awesome quantity of voices in her head which combine to become 1, or that I need to look up some alternative meanings to her site. This is Tamera over at Pentads. Tamera has this annoying habit of making me enter comments in a serious manner. How she does that in itself is a damn mystery. Are these voices of hers also in corporal form and visit me in ways I do not realise? I do not know. But I do know that outside of the serious thought provoking posts that she does, she also has an awesome wit which appears in many a post. You can also see this in the comments section on my quite awesome site which you are reading at the moment. Unlike Floog who needs to get published, Tamera already has been which means the green colouring I was finally getting rid of after writing about Floog, is now back. Thanks Tamera. I recommend paying her site a visit when you want to read something to make you think. And also note her photography. She stalks animals. And has one of the coolest “Gardens” at the back of her house.
Next up we have Don. The issue I have with Don is that his siteis funnier then mine. And he makes it look so easy where I work hard for a few laughs. Apart from the fact he is too clever, one of the things I love about Don’s site is his ability to use pictures, and then have a word with photoshop and then change them. Take THIS post for example. Genius. Pure genius. Maybe Don doesn’t do the pictures. Maybe someone else does them and he requests what to make them look like. Either way, it is his idea and the posts are quite awesome. So get over there, and leave a comment mentioning that my site is better. It might be a lie, but he doesn’t have to know that.
And lastly for this post we get to The Movie Whore. Or Jim as he is also known. And sometimes as The Dudes Dad. It is obvious Jim has a few too many names going on, which leads me to think he has a serious amount of alter ego’s, or he is on the run. From who could be an interesting question. I would ask, but I don’t know how far in to his seedy underworld I want to go. Jim has 2 sites. He only had 1 before today. Greedy? Maybe. But he has an uncanny ability to know WAY too much about films. But in a good way. His new site “The Movie Whore” has just launched and he has some great plans for the site. If movies, or certainly the background of movies, is your thing, take a wander over. But should you want plain insanity, then head over to his main site HERE. The reason I enjoy going to his site is because it is the actual definition of random. And me and Jim see very eye to eye on pretty much everything in life. Especially that he absolutely ADORES the new series (remake) of Battlestar Galactica like I do. He admits it in the comments secion of THIS post.
Hang on. So they all write well, two are a dab hand at photography, one likes to manipulate photos and the other has delusions that he is photogenic. And I said about the cardinal number of 4 plus 1. So this is the holy trinityfourity making up 1 fun bit of surfing.
Coming next time are…well, if I told you that Anca, Jane etc, you would know wouldn’t you!

Sir you know I appreciate the kind words. Truly I do.
Now that’s out of the way. The new Battlestar Galactica is a total insult to the original mythology. Your love for this show proves one thing my dear friend. All of your taste is on your mouth.
Yes I am twitching.

Admit it dude. You love it. You love that twitchy goodness as it saves you doing the hard work yourself.

Wow! What a surprise! Thank you, Sy. It is much appreciated. Have you been drinking since you went all ‘soft’ on us? *just joking*..Funny, ha ha.
I think we have to beat this ridiculous green monster out of you. You don’t see your own worth, you old fool (yeah, when you start the knitting, well, you are gettin’ old….)!
Thanks again.

Seriously I would rather watch a Uwe Boll movie.

@Tamera – You are too kind. And there is more chance of me sewing then knitting. It is more my “thing”. Actually…
@Jim – Uwe Boll is a modern day genius. All his films are top drawer.

So now we have learned Sy knows how to quote a video.
7 Sy
// Apr 13, 2008 at 3:18 am
Unlike yourself who cannot quote a video because they normally just have cheesy background music…and some other stuff not suitable for this blog.

Sir show me a man that does not watch porn and I will show you a corpse.

Porn? I was on about videos of CCTV footage from elevators. Thus the cheesy music and people picking their nose looking at the mirror on the wall of the lift.

Also where every so often you find a whore with a trick and then the porn show is on.

I really have to go visit all these sites now, Sy made them look soo good. Movie Whore, Tamera, Floog, Don, here I come!

Thank you for the kind words Sy. Bet they hurt. Actually folks, I’m no funnier than Sy. I just steal all the bits of his best stuff, send them ff to my team of writers and let them take it from there.
You should be made aware however that Tamera doesn’t actually exist. Pentad is actually a team of psychoanalysts from John Hopkins Medical University doing a study on the effects of reality on humor writers.
OK Sy, I said I stole all your good stuff. When do I get the T shirt?

TheMovie Whore, my husband does not watch porn and no thanks on the corpse. I would rather not see it.
I’ll check out some of these blogs Sy.

Sy, what can I say but thanks matey. You are too kind. And jealous!…..other way round my friend.
Oi! Just realised what you said about my age, you young whipper-snapper!

@Don – Nah it didn’t hurt. Stung a little, and I now have a bit of a rash from it, but for the most part, it is alllll good! I agree though. Pentad must be a team of people. That much knowledge out of one head? Never gonna happen is it. I wonder what this “Tamera” is. Maybe the name for a collective that make a Pentad. Hmmm. Interesting. I should ask Jeeves.
@Floog. Nah you arent that old fella. It is true. My great grandad is much older! I hope you are going to make the most of sunshine and the bike!

Rose I should hope you would pass on the corpse. That is really stuff and only intended to show the level of depravity of our crazy friend Sy.

I’m feeling a little neglected right now. *big pout*
But, what can I expect. I don’t write amazing fiction laced with vivid detail and shocking gore. I don’t dole out thought-provoking and sensible advice. I’m not exceptionally funny, although I have received a laugh or two at my misfortune.
Someone remind me again why I’m blogging?
I do find your site, hilarious btw, Sy! In a ridiculous, amusing sort of way!

There, there. Don’t take it so hard, Sy. You still have MANY years before catching up to Floog. Just give it time.

I know Mrs S. I just feel it is going to be a loooong 10 years to catch up. Although I am thinking that once kiddie is born, me and her can learn together. So hope is not all lost! A…B…C… See? I started increasing my vocab already!
