Blogs of Note

Things that frustrate me:

1. Blogs without my beloved "Next Blog" button. If they don't have it then I have to go back to the previous page and try it again. Letting the chaotic winds of blogger chase my fate.

2. Foriegn vs English. Why is it that almost half of the foreign blogs out there have English titles? There won't be a single other word on that page in English. What the hell? Maybe it's just me, but if I can't read your posts, I'm guessing those who can can't read your title.

3. Pop-ups. Why the fuck would someone put a pop-up on a blog. I saw two just today. One saying "type yes or no if you think im cool." Go fuck yourself jackass! The second told me I had to "click here" to upgrade IE. When I closed it, another came up with "You really need to upgrade. It is strongly recommended you click here." All the more fucking reason for me not to jackass!

4. Hearts. Why is it so many blogs feel the need to make you feel more loved by changing your mouse to a trail of hearts. This isn't an episode of "Rainbow Monkies," it's the fucking internet. We got rape and murder at the touch of our fingertips. Why the hell would we want cute fucking little hearts.


Anyways... That's all I have to bitch about for the moment. Here is the links of some noteworthy blogs:

Viewfinder BLUES - Kind of a neat take on a photography site. These are the leftover pics that didn't get used. Along with a little story/rant about each one.

I work for a gangster - The life and times of the Godfather's right hand man.

Figpaste - Some amusing stories of life.

Sinders rants - Definately some of the best rants I've read in a long time. Worth checking out about twice a year though as unfortunately he only updates about once every three monthes.

above the blue pool - Another decent collection of day to day living stories. I love the picture of the rocking chair in the street.

Anti-Prop - Definately a gamer. Anyone who has dreams about Sonic The Hedgehog or Dragon Warriors 1 is definately a gamer.

La Chat Noir - I almost skipped this one becuase it had a french title, but the god of alrightness smaked me upside the head and made me keep reading. Some funny stories. I liked the "pink" one the best.

rap, mp3, torrent, p2p, streetball, nba - This one is definately a forgein blog. I can't read most of it. But it does have free mp3 downloads for all of you who are to lazy to use Win MX like the rest of us to download all of your "for educational use only" movies, music, and whatnot.

~sporked.net~ - The musings of a very very very bored individual.

Blog by Knight - A pretty good rant site. Most are written by Shalovee. But it looks like there are occassional guest writers as well. I want her calander archive. That is going to be my goal for the rest of the day. Find a calander archive like hers.


Well that's it for this time. Thanks to those of you who submitted sites. Makes my job a lot easier. Join us again in when I list another couple of blogs that I think are worth reading.

Blogs That Have Linked To Us

Stalkers Not Allowed - Arethusa's personal collection of reviews and rants.

Off The Post - DC-Giants's veiws on the world.


These two were previously mentioned in "blogs of note." And that concludes are broadcasting!

Blogs of Note

Well since this is a new year and all. I've decided to start a new subsection to the "Rants From Alright Guys" page. And since I've been talking about using sub-blogs to organize things for about two months now, I'm going to finally start doing it. I believe Mr_Nuts has already started his first sub-blog called "Bryan's Movie Reviews". And Kat has hers called A Calm in Vertigo. So here is my first, Blogs of Note.

Every time I'm on here, I try to surf the "Next Blog" button at least a few times until I either find something worth reading or I just give up because I'm sick of reading about dreary Goth poems about how much pain someone is in, Jill's diary, the most recent advances in computer bullshit, or things in foreign languages that I am unable to comprehend. I'm not saying that they are bad blogs, just that they are incredibly fucking boring to me (and probably to at least 90% of the English speaking world as well.) I think many blogs are written more for the self then for others, but here is a few that broke that barrier and managed to catch my eye. They are in whatever order my bookmarks folder put them in. (it's not alphabetical. Appearances are deceiving.)

CELEBRITY FEET - This site has a bunch of pictures of famous peoples feet. It's not incredibly well organized, or particularity glamorous. But he takes requests, and if you have a foot fetish this is the place for you.

Gay Movies - I'm not entirely sure why this one caught my eye, but it did. I can't say as I've ever seen a gay porn review site before, but whoever writes this one really enjoys his work. Call me a faggot, but there is something funny about reading movie reviews that start off by saying " I'm dipping his gay cock in farm-fresh cream and picking my teeth with it."

I bet after sex he smokes a ham... - I'm not sure if it is just the title or the weird little pictures of playdoh figurines that caught my eye here. Some of it is ranting, the rest is just weird.

Off The Post - Mostly just humorous little stories and rantings. Not particularly lewd, but still funny. A few good anti-Bush pics and comments as well.

Politart - I don't really follow politics but I like to bitch about them. A good political ranting blog.

WordOnUSBull - I'm not sure why this caught my eye. It only has two posts. But it is in my bookmarks so there must have been a reason. The little bitch about Bush's religious peddling is amusing though. *DEAD

What fresh hell is this? - This site is a daily update blog full of funny little quote worthy statements. Most are pretty amusing. They could make a desk calendar from this site.

Stalkers Not Allowed - I actually found this from a comment posted on the rants page. I think it is a review page. There are reviews of movies, music, and various consumer goods. Most are a mix of review and rant. Rather entertaining. In fact, I'd have to say it is probably the most worthwhile link on this list.

Rants in Our Pants - Another political rant site, though this one tends to be more right-winged then left. Still a couple of amusing ones. I especially like the Canadian one. *DEAD

Cliche kitty - Truthfully, I don't get this site. It seems a bunch of pointless garble to me. But the catch phrase (that is repeated more often then the power=responsibility line in Spiderman 1 & 2) is quite funny. "Every time you masturbate god kills a kitten."

and last but not least...

http://rantsfromag.blogpot.com/ - If you notice the spelling this is only one letter off from our main site. I feel sorry for the poor bastard he makes that misspelling. He's definaely not gonna find what he's looking for here.



If you think you blog is something an AG might enjoy, send me the link via email and maybe I'll post it on the next one.

Blogs That Have Linked To Us

Here are some of the blogs that have linked back to us. I found these three via google. The titles of the first three are pretty self explanatary. I hope to keep doing this and as more and more sites link to us, I plan on putting links to them on this page.

Blogs that link to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
I believe this is where we actually link to that movie.


Blogs that link to Ed Wood (1994)
I believe this is where we actually link to that movie.


Blogs that link to Day After Tomorrow, The (2004)
I believe this is where we actually link to that movie.

watermelon memories
I found us blogrolled on this site. She spelled the name wrong but I'll forgive her (alright not allright). Though I probably should figure out what a "blogroll" is one of these days. Anyways, the site has some rants, but tends towards more personal or semi-newsworthy events.


If you have a link to us and would like recognition, leave a comment or email me and I'll see your site gets put on the next list.
