This Is This

Right. I’m going to be busy for a bit. Actually I’m going to be not busy for a bit. But while I’m away my dad will be keeping you out of trouble while he publishes some posts I’ve had lying about. It’s not the first time he’s aired my dirty laundry.

I take the bus into London every morning with some pretty unique characters who probably deserve more space than they will be getting from me, so there will be some posts about them. The posts will be very small. Some may well be choking hazards, but the fact is I made the effort.

And in the meantime, here are a few of my favourite blogs you can read while I’m gone.

Little Red Boat - The much deserved Bloggie-nominate site in which she wears her heart on this e-sleeve of a site. I also nicked the idea of the bussies from her. Sorry.

JonnyB’s private secret diary - I almost didn’t want to mention this because everyone knows this site and you’re reading this. It’s kind of like if you say, “I quite like that motown stuff” and someone says, “Really? Well, have you this Stevie Wonder chap?…” When if comes to Johnny,I wish I could say nonchalantly, “I’m aware of his work…”, but there’s a lot of chalant. Too much fucking chalant, actually. Because not only is this an old blog, it’s fucking great. And every time I do a good post, I think, is this too much like Johnny B’s Private Secret Diary?

BonBlogs…a work in progress - Endearingly self-conscious and honest as only Californians can be.

meish dot org - The person who got me blogging, because I thought all bloggers were saddos until I found out someone I knew had one. Then either I became a saddo or I stopped worrying about it and just started writing. I’m writing now, actually. Coincidence? I think not.

Three Beautiful Things - As they sat in Italian, “putasmile onaface” (pronounced “poot-ah-SMEE-leh on-ah-FACH-eh”)

Goin’ to the John - Leemer is a man with more musical knowledge than is healthy, and I should know. He’s in Texas and quotes The Wonder Stuff. That begs the first of my many questions, all of which are: “What’s that all about?”

rivierawriter - My old man’s a blogman, he wears a blogman’s hat. I went to university, my dad went to university. I started a blog, he started a blog. I got married, he got married. It must be hard for him to live in my shadow. He EVEN supports the same football team as me! Only joking on that last one. To be fair, he has written a book . Rivierawriter is a great blog - it’s like me without the swearing.

Can we please calm down with the publishing? It’s going to be OK.
