For the purposes of Stale Reviews, I must ask if Blogs count as reading?
First, it has been my sole intention to review the books that I read over the course of...well, forever. I love to read and enjoy soaking in stories. So, do blogs count as reading? Should they even be reviewed?
I have been reading this one blog by this fella named Randy. He's posting on the regular over at http://mobilecodgers.blogspot.com/. Anyway, Randy is living a good life, apparently. He spends most of his time in New Mexico dragging his house behind his truck and settling wherever he damn well pleases. Yep, he's got himself a little trailer house and goes and parks wherever the wind takes him. I'm guessing he's retired but I'm not a hundred percent on that one.
So, reading his blog I get the strangest sensation. But, I can't tell what it is. So, I will put the possibilities out there for us all.
1. I like him. He is living the life that he wants in the way that he wants. I totally dig that.
2. I want to be him. See above. There is freedom there...also dig that.
3. I want to punch him right in the fucking ballsack. While he is living his life the way he wants, Randy also comes off as a pompous, arrogant, know-it-all type as he expounds ever so generously on religion, living a traditional life, and so on... Fuck, that annoys a reader.
Anyway, this ain't a normal Stale Review type review. But, it's a blog. It's somewhat interesting and has tons of pictures of people and places. Just forget that Randy can be a blowhard that doesn't quite know how to use his spell check and you'll be just fine.
