A Blogsboro Shoutout
Last Wednesday, I attended my second Blogsboro MeetUp and had a great time speaking with a bunch of local bloggers:
What’s On Mikey’s Mind Ver. 5.0 - Mikey’s a Marine, husband, father and a really, funny guy (even though I think he watches Bill O’Reilly).
Jay Ovittore’s Blog - We didn’t get much of a chance to talk except for a hello and a goodbye, but I’ve been reading Jay’s blog for the last few months. We’re very like-minded.
Chosen Fast - Cara and I are pretty far apart on the issues of religion, but suprisingly, she’s very open to listening to a different opinion. And she’s hyped to learn about tagging!
Waiting For Vizzini - Any guy that names his blog after a character from The Princess Bride is alright in my book. Juan is well read and has a gift for tying Christian verses with progressive ideals. I’m looking forward to hanging out and talking power, authority, tagging and change in our next MeetUp.
Billy The Blogging Poet - Billy’s the organizer of our MeetUp and the king-blogger of the area–a really nice guy.
Greensboro 101 - Roch is the man with the plan, trying to bring community together through local perspectives. I’m looking forward to our next round of drinks and progressive rants.
Hopefully next time I’ll be able to speak with a broader range of local bloggers. I gotta say, it’s great to live in a neighborhood that has such a strong citizen media base.

O’Reilly can eat my shorts.
so the merry christmas spasm was brought on by…?
I just believe that it shouldn’t be treated like one was dropping an F-bomb.
but enough of that…Happy New Year’s means waking up missing a sock, waking up in a different zip code than where you started and swearing off alcohol…far at least a week. Not that it’s happened to me of course. :-)
sure, i agree with that, but i also don’t care if people say “happy holidays” either. the whole conversation is retarded.
new years… yeah, no kidding, but i can’t celebrate like that anymore. drinking wrecks me for days on end… so tip one back for me and have a great one!
