Isn’t style fascinating? Each of us has a unique style about us. It’s reflected in how we dress, whether we are day or night people, grasshoppers or ants. It shows up in the type of housing we choose, whether we have kids, what type of job is satisfying, whether we can let an old love go, our sense of humor, and if we have close ties to nature.
\nStyle is on my mind because of the diversity of blogs I read. Since the day I first tripped over Billy’s blog<\/a>, he’s been a daily read. He writes an amazing stream of consciousness, but in each essay he produces, there’s likely to be a reflection that ties his past life into the one that’s coming, something wildly funny, and something heartfelt. I never know what the subject matter will be, but I always know that I will have been given a snapshot of his life, a clear unobfuscated view.<\/p>\n


\nEssay, at StupidAngryCanajun<\/a> is very discriptive of the morons who people her part of the world. Her sense of humor is sharper than Billy’s, edgier, and she gives you a clear view of how aggravated she is through her personal rating system. There’s a lot of heart in this blog, and humor that comes from looking realistically at life.
\nSpeaking of heart, Sgt. Hook<\/a> has heart. His style of writing is clean, and forthright. Frequently he writes about military matters, as you would expect of a military man. But the heart shines through when he talks about patriotism, his loved ones, or military wives. And he has a quiet sense of humor that leaves you grinning.
\nMs. Roberta<\/a> and I have a lot in common, but I have a lot to learn from her. She’s likely to present an imponderable to ponder, or focus on an esoteric thought during her day, but when she writes about family, I’m glued to the screen. Her’s is a world of correct spelling, appropriate grammar and a fascination with the oddities of life. You get the feeling that the bedrock decisions she made years ago have freed her thoughts to question “What if….”
\nPobricito, from Life in the Hard Shoulder<\/a>, leaves me wondering if I’ve understood the entire message. I flip-flop between feeling I’m the only one who’s gotten the joke and feeling that I’ve missed the boat, but his writing is so wonderful that I hang on, wanting to know more. The pictures at the top of his blog prepare you for what you’ll find…..a glimpse of Pob here and there, but never the entire picture at one time. This is not a coy blog, but the work of a man who doesn’t want to be hurt again. Read him for the wry sense of humor and the unfolding story.
\nBogie<\/a> has that economy of language that makes you think she could be a native Northeasterner. Some days I can almost hear the “AaaYup!” in what she’s said. The range of topics she chooses is amazing, but the comments about the realities of living life in the boonies of New Hampshire are what fascinate me. Here is a practical woman. When I read her blog I think of Victory Garden, New Yankee Workshop, This Old House, all the Storey publications on gardening and those books from the sixties that taught you to live off the land. Let’s sit back and watch the new neighbors with her, and see just how long they last.
\nAnd then there’s Jamie. <\/a>I don’t know how to describe Jamie. Endlessly entertaining, a terrible speller (and most likely giving me the finger for this as you read), a sassy woman, a staunch supporter and great friend. No one has a style quite like Jamie. She’s UNIQUE! I doubt I’d be here blogging without the influence of Jamie and RedEagle. <\/a>Thank you, ladies!
\nI wish I could be a chameleon and absorb all the best qualities of these blogs. Each of them has a distinct style. How they put words together, how tight a focus they choose, and the depth of character they display, are all very personal choices that keep drawing us back to read more.
