Falling down the black hole of Volunteer State bloggers January 11, 2008

A new blogger from Ohio has been sucked into our eeeeevil vortex! Muwaaahahahahaha!

I’ve spent the better part of the past two days discovering and reading more blogs. I seem to be caught up in some sort of Tennessee warp because so many of my current favorites are being written by people in Knoxville and Nashville. I like that southern drawl in their writing, I guess. Or it could be that all of my current reading stems from one Tennessee guy, Instapundit. Through his blog roll I found Katie Allison Granju, who then lead me to Suburban Turmoil and Zygote Daddy (who is in Iowa, not Tennessee). But then Suburban Turmoil lead me to Busymom and I’m pretty sure she lead me to Domestic Psychology (which is how I lost an entire day yesterday). …

There was a point yesterday afternoon when I got foggy headed and started to believe that all blogs must originate in Tennessee, but then I realized the whole Instapundit chain. What seems so interesting to me is that I’m reading all of these different people and loving everything about it even though they are people that I probably wouldn’t socialize with in real life (mostly because I am so anti-social) but because they are so different than me. Most of them are quite politically liberal or trying to live “green” lives or have children (which interests me because I want to have children, but I don’t currently have them) or any number of things that I had no idea I would love reading about. I have not yet come across another blogger who lives where I live (Ohio) and is a gay conservative political junkie with two dogs and wants to have children.
