A Glimpse Into the Lives of Strangers

Those of you out there that have blogs, may have noticed that when you are on your blog, there is a button at the top where it says next blog. Have you ever clicked on that button before? I did this a few days ago. It was interesting how to took me to random blogs of people that I did not know.

I spent a awhile just looking at all the titles that people had given their blogs. Some I found were really unique and I thought that I would share them. (Now mind you, I am not stalking these bloggers or anything. It's just fascinating to see the layouts and everything they choose.) Also I noticed that on a lot of the blogs I came across the url and titles were different. So these people can still have some privacy from the world.

So here is a list of some titles of blogs that I liked:
  • Handprints on the Window- A Glimpse in our Life
  • Outside the Box and Inside My Mind
  • What a Kick in the Pants
  • Cowpies- Everything We Create is Moo-valous
  • Heartbeats of Hope
  • A Giggle A Day
  • Crazy Tomato Man- after a run i turn red, after half a mug of beer i also turn red, so a tomatoman I am... a crazy one, that is...
I really liked the last one in particular very original and interesting explanation. It is just amazing how many people have blogs. In a way, it's like their own little world that they themselves create. They get to express their ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc. There can be power in that because the choices are endless. I think it's also cool how different blogs are in comparison from one to the next. It is interesting to see what layouts are used and everything. I even came across some that were written in different languages.

So if any of my blog readers ever have a few minutes to kill, why not try seeing what random blogs are on the next blog button? You never know what you are going to find.

*To anyone whose blog I named above, thanks for letting me catch a glimpse into your lives. If my blog comes across your path and you happen to read this entry, please know that I only glanced at the titles of your blogs and only saw the first little bit of stuff on your pages. I am not stalking you* :)

  1. Okay so I did what you suggested and it was weird! I only came across one blog that was in English?! Then after about 6 clicks through blogs the "next blog" button just kept circling between the same two foreign blogs?!

    But it was really cool to look into the one English blog I came across. It was called "Crack open a cold one..." created by a mother of 3. She seemed very witty and clever. She has segment called Pocket Edward. She keeps a Ken doll on her dash board and tells of the great adventures he gets to see in "her world" Makes the mundane seem fun and interesting! Reminded me of when I took Captain Underpants to Ireland with me and took pictures to bring back to show Levi. Ha ha.

    Very refreshing! Thanks Nika great idea! Perhaps I WILL become a blog stalker...kinda neat!

  2. Yeah, I thought it was an interesting idea. In order to look at more you can go back to your blog and try clicking on the button again. If you do that then it should bring up new ones. I had the same problem where it would go back and forth between two of them.
