Everyone is doing a blog these days. All the cool kids and definitely the hipsters. The comic people and the movie people and the sports people and the news people and the collectors and porno freaks and meths heads and the grandma's and the golfers.

<------The people in the picture next to these words even have a blog. That's how I got this picture. These people, I don't know them and they don't know me. They seem like nice people.

The lady seems to be holding some kind of small dog or maybe it's a purse...if you can tell please leave a comment (This is the interactive portion of the Blog). Also the guy in the background seems to either not know or not care that his picture is being taken and, by contrast, the dog next to him is looking right at the camera. Maybe he's a seeing-eye dog.

I digress, I was saying that everyone has a blog and I've had one longer than all of you. I just didn't know what i wanted to do with it. I hate talking about my daily routine because right now it's fucking boring. There's cool shit happening but I can't talk about most of that without coming off like a complete name-dropping Douche Popsicle™ (sorry for the language mom I'm sure you'll get me back by posting something corny and embarrassing in the comments of this blog). What I can do is entertain you, something that many blogs forget to do. i can also inform you, which is the point of today's blog ( the above was only the INTRO, smooooth).

I spend a lot of time reading an online news stream I have coming in using RSS feeds to the Google Reader. if you look over to the RIGHT SIDE --------------------------------->
You'll see Shawn's Shared Items, that's the article I want you to also read.

That said, in an effort to entertain and educate you instead of boring you to death by bitching about how lie is unfair because i hit a mailbox with my car and it cost me $500.00 to repair the car and another $600 for the mailbox (the Insurance is paying for the mailbox actually), I plan on highlighting other stuff I read or sometimes a specific article from the column over hee-ya-->

Before we get to it let's celebrate with a happy "little person":

SHAWN READS - BLOG EDITION:

1. My good buddy Dave has started writing a blog and now that we're going to be living on separate coasts I'm REALLY glad he did. I get to check-in with him without the burden of having an actual telephone conversation. It's great! Seriously though his blog is pretty good so far and he's a gifted artist always talking about this comic he's writing and drawing, always posting pages of art....it's a sight. It's called KARATE and FLYING.

2. Another friend of mine and an EXTREMELY talented writer/musician and lawyer, Charles Soule named his blog after the title of one of his novels. It's not found a home with a publisher yet but I've read it and can tell you it's ACES. I'm telling you it's as good if not better than Fred the Guitar Playing Midget, 4 real. The blog and the book are called LAND OF 10,000 THINGS.

3. Blake J. Harris. If you don't know this name you're either in a coma or you DON'T have your finger on the pulse of the future of Hollywood. That means you're not cool. In fact it means you're a total asshole. I bet you walk about above everyone else, working in some corporate officeo n the 58th floor of some skyscraper in a big lass city built on the bones of poor people. You're a monster and a tyrant and you know what? You'd fit right in because Blake's blog is called TYRANNY ROCKS




unless it's Tranny Rocks
and I've been misreading it ------>













Okay that's today's blog. If I remember/feel up to it there will be more tomorrow and in the future to come. if not back to the usually random phone posts and photos.

Your Friend Shawn.

(special thanks to Cake for providing the soundtrack to today's post.)
