The Blogs of Strangers, Part 1

I've been told that November is National Blog Posting Month and I've already failed at posting something every day, but I've decided; since I'm awake every night now at around 2am, and because there are only so many websites I regularly visit, that tonight I'm going to try out Blogger's NEXT BLOG feature. "Next Blog" selects a random blog from Blogger and displays it for you, which I'll then tell you about if I find them fun or interesting in any way.

The first handful I came across were dedicated to people's children and families. It's easy material...I get that. I definitely have some of that to include here, but I want to make sure I keep enough other material for the non-baby people that might be interested in reading my site. As I click through multiple random blogs, I'm finding that out of 20-30 clicks, about 95% of them are family related blogs, which changes my experiment a little. Let's see what the first non-family or non-baby blog turns out to be.

Click, click, click, click...ah, here's one. Jessica Horowitz Photography blog. Nice pictures...good advertising for Jessica, but nothing fun to read. And then apparently I'm stuck in a "photography" section of Blogger so I'll check out the "Blogs of Note".

The first "Blog of Note" was actually the first unique blog I've come across and that was Anthony's blog, "The Fenetic Pen Project". This guy draws everything he sees...interesting hobby. Makes me want to learn how to draw better. And then I've moved into the artists section of Blogger. I get it Blogger...this isn't really random.

If you haven't noticed, I'm writing this live and it's not exactly working out the way I hoped. I was thinking the Internet was filled with thousands of unique blogs on a variety of topics...even some individuals and their random thoughts, but that's not the case. SO...I've labeled this post "Part 1" but really, I have hundreds of other things to write about, so this will likely be "Part ONLY" of The Blogs of Strangers. Of course, instead of reading random blogs, if any of my friends out there have something fun to read online, I'd rather be reading that in the middle of the night than the ramblings of strangers, so post or send me your links! If not, I'm sure I'll be prowling the Internet evenings and I'm sure to report anything interesting I might find.

And now it's time to sleep.
