Matthew Darringer: "Be It Ever So Humble" Post

I've linked to Matthew's blog before and I'm doing it again. There's a quality over there that seems to incorporate psychology and literature in an interesting way. I'm very interested in reading Matthew's fiction...he's promised he'll let me when the time is right.

There's a lot of reality, too, especially the descriptions. I swiped the photo above directly from Matthew's blog.

I've also been quietly following the blog of a middle aged gay man who recently moved to a trailer park in Maryland, in some unheard of town I'm assuming is near DC. I'm not quite sure what the tone of this blog is, at least not yet. Some of it is all about the joys of living in a single wide, other parts seem to be about being single, gay, neurotic, and eating out alone.

This blog is interesting, too, in the sense that the middle aged gay blogger seems perfectly content, to the point of being overjoyed, in the single wide.

And the point I'm trying to make...I promise I'll get there...is that here are two very good, nicely written blogs, with two different POV's, taken from two very different perspectives. The psychology is there, in both. And they both offer a degree of reality on the Internet we don't see all that often.

Check them out and see what I'm talking about, especially if you're looking for different blogs to read that are authentic. They are out there, you just have to look. And neither of these blogs appear to be selling anything or exploiting anything. It's personal blogging at its best.
