My Top Two Emerging INFLUENTIAL BLOGS

Right now,
there's a referendum being held over at the:
Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2010

but honestly, upon browsing the candidates,
I can understand the "emerging" part, but really,
I can't appreciate how most of the nominated blogs
can be considered "influential", since most are more
of just the same old same old been there done that variety.


FACEBUKO,
by far, is the most staggering work of heartbreaking genius
to emerge over the past year or so, but two more
quirky blogs absolutely deserve to be among
the top new blogs; not only are these
very well-written, both are full
of wit and useful tips & trivia

that's 100% amusing too:



1. RICKY REMEMBERS

"Just like the Internet, Ricky always remembers..."



sample post:

Chocolate Milk:
Ricky remembers how that circular cardboard cover on the Magnolia Chocolait bottle would sometimes fall in and how households would recycle the bottles as water containers afterwards.








2. THE AMATS PROJECT (TAP)
http://theamatsproject.com/

"The Amats Project is an effort to go around the Philippines in search of the best (and worst) places to get drunk. There isn’t a beerhouse too shady, club too exclusive or music too loud to keep us from finding the perfect location. More than just the alcohol, the food, the crowd and the music, TAP is about the experience."



sample post:

The Russian Roman:
Mix 1 part Vodka with 2 parts of Bacchus, add ice and you’re all set. For those who haven’t tried something like this, be cautioned that it is not for the weak-hearted. A mix like this can leave you both extremely drunk and insanely energetic, which, if not in a safe place, can cause a bit of trouble.
