Today’s Blurfing

on: Jan/5/04 and its been viewed 606 times

I’m zonkered today. I slept like shit last night and then got absolutely killed at work with the usual post-weekend clean-up. Would SOMEONE please feel sorry for me?

Ok- anyways . . . so I sat back with a hot cuppa java and did some surfing and blurfing (regular surfing v. blog surfing).

Surfing

Bet’cha didn’t know I was a fan, did ya? Oh yea, baby!

Up from Zero, a DVD documentary about the brave men and women of the New York City building trades who put themselves on the line on September 11, 2001 – and for nine months afterward – to reclaim Ground Zero.

I’m a Taurus, and this is my read for the day. It says I need to “Empty my mind completely so that I will be fully receptive to fresh intuitions about how to evaluate your ongoing evolution.”

Blurfing

Geoffrey has left a few notes in my comments and I went over and checked him out. Besides having a cutie pic in the top upper corner of his page - - he’s got some great stuff in there. ‘Lest you think I blogroll based on eye candy alone, I offer proof that I read - - Geoffrey offers up a link to a Guest Book for Wounded Heroes for you to visit and leave well wishes for these men and women, and their families. Unsurprisingly, at least to me, it seems some of the more avid “peace” activists have used this forum to get their anti-war points across. Tsk, tsk - - time now to separate being against the war, but supportive of our troops, k?

Madfish Willie is moonlighting from his job as a Bartender and started a blog design biz - he’s doing some good work over there. Hey, maybe I’ll send some of my customers over his way when I’m on vacation?? That’s what a good business alliance can do for a person, ya know? Besides, rumor has it that he’s offering up spankings for new designs (see my tag board down below, if ya don’t believe me!)

I found Miss Me from late night surfing the Recently Updated at blogrolling.com.

What? Come on — I’m not the only one who does that. Admit it - you guys do it too. …. don’t you? Hrmmm…..my name is Lisa and I surf the recently updated blogs at 2 a.m.

The first step towards a cure is admitting there is a problem in the first place.

Happy blurfing!

ps . . yes, I am aware that innocently throwing my business link up there was shameful self-promotion…and I apologize. :P

**Blurfing Update**
Waaaaaaay back on June 20, 2003 - Geoffrey proves that he absolutely uses eye candy as a basis for blogrolling. Pfft!

    Doesn’t Jeff have a cool blog? And don’t feel bad about using eye candy as an excuse. I once linked this pic of him on my RWA blog. Be sure to check out the pic tee hee. http://rightweare.com/comments.php?id=655_0_1_0_C

    Miss Me: it’s a strange, yet rather satisfying term don’t you think?
