PA">Doin’ Time in Erie, PA

by JHSEsq

This is the first blog review that we have done with­out a clue of who the author is, other than the title, Doin’ Time in Erie, PA, so we know what state she is from. The lay­out of this blog is almost non-existent. If she were not nom­i­nated we might not have even both­ered to […]

the laid.back buddhist

by JHSEsq

What could a twenty-one-year-old say to stir this writer’s soul today? Sit­ting whim­si­cally on the floor with a smarter-than-her-years-kinda-look, we find the author of a blog called the.laid.back.buddhist writ­ing of pow­er­ful emo­tions beyond her per­ceived youth­ful ele­ment. Sur­pris­ingly, she reeled me into this story with every step through the upstairs door. It was this phrase […]

Full Throttle and F**k It

by JHSEsq

When it comes time for me to write a review for The Ris­ing Blog­ger, I often check to see if a reader or past win­ner nom­i­nated a post. I’d love to say it is because that I want to be sure that Judd keeps up with nom­i­na­tions in our queue, but it is gen­er­ally because […]

A Twist of Humor

by JHSEsq

“How did my son get to be sev­en­teen so soon, when it took me three eter­ni­ties to reach that age? By my reck­on­ing of time he should only be eight years old,” writes Mike Cook on his bril­liantly worded blog called A Twist of Humor. An author of depth and range, we found this post […]

ilovemylife

by JHSEsq

Red-headed, white-skinned, ten­der, provoca­tive. All words to describe one very vocal blog­ger who chose to peel back the lay­ers of color for all to see. In her own life. On her blog. Most deci­siviely her blog. While most of her writ­ings could never be cat­e­go­rized as sub­tle and are usu­ally starkly polit­i­cal and infor­ma­tive, this […]

nunc-fluens

by JHSEsq

You don’t learn much about Baekho, the author of nunc-fluens by read­ing his side­bar. Which is a bit refresh­ing. (If you have ever read our blog, we have so much crap in the side­bar it is truly stu­pid.) You can learn a lot of the man and his spirit by sim­ply read­ing his posts. In […]

Drowning Pisces

by JHSEsq

It’s cold in Col­orado, and Gina, at Drown­ing Pisces, is in love. It’s not your run-of-the-mill kind of love though – she’s revis­it­ing a pas­sion­ately appre­ci­ated love from a time long ago. Her love is sleek and smooth and shiny. It’s pow­er­ful. It’s intu­itive. It lights up when she touches it and it always performs […]

The Schherazade Project

by JHSEsq

Just her descrip­tion of her blog on MyBlogLog intrigued us, “An explo­ration of what it means to be an Arab woman caught between 2 mad cul­tures.” Nezha is very tal­ented as a writer and observer of the human con­di­tion. She describes her­self, “I’m an Arab-Canadian grad stu­dent cur­rently resid­ing in Paris, France.I enjoy music, dancing, […]

Sweetney

by JHSEsq

We think you will love this post. It won’t save human­ity or cure the com­mon cold, but it is a fas­ci­nat­ing tale that winds up a lit­tle like David and Goliath. Can you imag­ine tak­ing a pic­ture of your pet, putting it on your blog and hav­ing a huge cor­po­ra­tion rip it off? With­out even […]
