sometimes.. this profession is a lot of fun..

I mean the profession of blogging of course. And not only that of blogging myself but also that of randomly checking others' blogs. I've gotten into the habit of spending at least 1-2 hours a day (on and of course) clicking onto random blogs reading others' ides, quips and rants. Its fun, really. Ok, honestly half the blogs you click on to won't have anything interesting on them. They're just inside jokes and messages to friends etc. Not that its not interesting, but it does take a bit more to hold onto a random person's attention. The other half leaves much more interesting possibilities. Some are picture blogs that can provide one with ample fodder for their own blog- spurting creativity. The rest, and this is where it gets good, can just humble you. I mean sometimes, I'll come across a blog that will make me feel ashamed of the quality of work I sometimes put up, without spell checking at that.

Take this one blog I came across run by One Female Canuck. She has two blogs actually, one personal and the other Political. I was truly impressed. Her blog is honest, funny, well written and above all that, really really interesting. Talk about some original ideas. She speaks knowledgebly on the political topics and just does an all around awesome job. I've been itching to pass on her address for a few days now and I finally got the chance. Take some time and do visit her site. You will not regret the decision.

On top of all that, she lists Mos Def, Mr. Lif, Common and Talib in her music section. What else can you ask for? keep on sister!

ps: I recently (five minutes ago) applied to become a part of MetroBlogging. I came across this site through Atrophying Senses, another blog I've become a fan of especially since the Pakistan earthquake. Anyway, I applied to Metro Blogs so that I could blog for them from different cities across the world. I figure that now that I am gonna be travelling, It would be relly fun to join on. I really hope they accept me. I think I would be really good. What? Why I oughtta ... ;)
