In defense of my vice:

My vice is easy, blogs.

A friend, Sarah, turned me onto this little blog known as Dooce.com. Sarah and Dooce popped my blog cherry. Then she started telling me about other blogs, and those blogs lead me to newer blogs. Now, I have a daily blog tour that keeps growing!

And then! There are the blogs that I revisit once a week, or month, or so...

...and numerous others

See, I have a problem. But thats ok. For people who don't understand blogs I always explain it like this. Most people read as a hobby, a way to relax, a way to pass time, a way to be entertained. Most people read magazines, books, etc. I read blogs.

What makes a good blog that makes me coming back?
1. I know the author (bainblabber, lefebevrepartyof4, thehansonhattrick)
2. Good, humorous writing (thepioneerwoman, dooce, sarahnielson)
3. Great photography (thepioneerwoman, dooce, mattlogelin, blurbomat, dailycoyote)
4. Unique/heartbreaking/captivating situations that keep you coming back for more (mattlogelin, dailycoyote)

I doubt that I will ever quit.
