Bobby’s Batch #10 - Hanging Ten With Blogging Excellence

I have so many thoughts this wonderful Sunday, it is difficult to contain them all…so I give up and let them explode across my inner hemispheres. I wish to tell everyone what is on my mind today: The true power of blogging.

Blogging brings people together from every part of this big beautiful planet. All people are welcome here to my home. I accept all of you. I will not judge you in any way. I will never judge one’s doctrines or race - we are one.

I accept you all. You could be Muslim, Christian, Jewish, a practitioner of Zoroastrianism, worshiper of Zeus, agnostic, Ashiest, psychic mystic or one who just loves their kitten - I accept you and will not critique your beliefs. I am a spiritual existentialist and welcome you all with open arms. Let love, not hatred rule our lives.

With so much negativity surrounding the Islamic faith, I feel I must say something. First, I am not Muslim nor am I Christian; or, for that matter, follow no precise religion. I do however believe in God - in my own way.

I am of course against any extremist form of doctrine. I am against terrorism and the people who wish to kill others in the name of their beliefs. I am against all killing. I am against the death penalty. I am against Christians who use faith to rob people of their money. I am against a government who lies to it’s own people. I am against dishonesty and all forms of hatred.

Having said that, I must proclaim that the Muslim people I personally know are some of the warmest, loving, caring, giving and wonderful human beings I have ever known. It is the small percentage of extremists that tarnish the faith. The same is true of any religion. There will always be a percentage of folks who commit acts of hatred and evil.

I raise a toast to all of you who unconditionally love all people. This is the power of blogging. The force of humanity joining as one and living together in peace.

Peace and Love to everyone,

Bobby Revell

On that wonderful note I shall start this week’s festivities. Each week I write this post and I love doing it. Every link I give is a gift. I don’t do it for the thanks or for myself. I do it to show appreciation for your work. Now, let us hang ten with the Silver Surfer and some of the blogosphere’s cosmic coolness!

I happened upon two young, extremely artistic writers from India who really inspired me. They are my stars this week and deserve to be read:

The first is a brilliant young female writer, Moyrn from the blog UnEloquence Mortalized. I was astonished by her graceful and imaginative expressiveness. Actually, I was blown away. What an incredible gift she possesses! Her creation, Away, Into… is beautiful, haunting and filled with breathtaking imagery. Her new post Swish, and bubbles! left me utterly speechless. It is beyond fantastic!

Next is the incredible Setu from the blog V.O.I.D. It was quite an experience to read his brooding and hypnotic prose. I found his writing dark, wondrous and distinctive in voice. His atmospheric tale Dead End is powerful and dreamlike…(I felt high after reading it). I am thankful to have come across his writing! Wow. It is great to have met two incredible writers. That is the true power of blogging.

A serious tech blogger I met several months ago, Aditya Mukhergee from Geekaholic wrote a post entitled Reactive blogging and why less is good. How cool is it that I was thinking about the subject and somehow was transported directly to his blog - as if by magic. Though my own blog is not very geeky (perhaps in some ways it is) I really connected with his post - an enlightening article indeed!

I ran across Bob’s Thoughts in my Blogrush widget. He had a fine post about the new method of Trading Drugs? You might have heard about the prescription medications used to get off of drugs. It’s a very interesting post! I don’t use Blogrush to gain traffic, I use it to find awesome blogs.

The wonderful Laila published a very funny post about Internet Addiction that may be very helpful to those of you in need of professional help! Hi, my name is Bobby and I am a blogoholic.

Eric Speedcat Hollydale wrote a really great introspective post where he shares different stages of his life in Life By Five. Eric can write with imagination and heart and really surprised me with this article. I think the best is yet to come from this incredibly unique blogger!

I found a fascinating writer sparkling in imagination. He if Floog author of the avant-garde And Dream of Sheep. This is truly great and I was enthralled from beginning to end. A mesmerizing trip through the walls of sleep!

The super friendly Garry Conn is definitely one of the most helpful bloggers ever. If you have ever thought about having a blog designed just for you, check out his offerings on Professional WordPress Blog Design Services. Garry knows Wordpress inside and out and his designs are superb. He even has a phone number you can call 24-7 to help anyone with questions…how great is that!

My blogging buddy, the videogame and tech addicted Bush Mackel took us for a wonderful pictorial tag-a-long through a day in My First 12 of 12. Of course, the real star his extremely photogenic and smiling son Mac! Also, I couldn’t resist but give a plug to Bush’s very cool and informative site Learn Stuff On Line. He shows you all about home theater setup and many other subjects. Definitely worth checking out!

A last minute addition: Janice’s son Amos is celebrating his 2nd birthday…YAY! Happy Birthday Amos! Be sure to stop by and see the cute birthday pictures of this handsome little fella!

Man do I agree with the attitude of Love not hate. I think as intelligent human beings it is okay to have different view points on politics or religion or even what color the sky is. It’s fine to express our opinion and even to debate any topics. But in the end I hope that all of us can remember to respect one in other. We are all in this thing called life together.
Revellian on March 16th, 2008 9:12 pm

Thanks for the great comment Roger! Humankind sure doesn’t live up to it’s own intelligence. With all the incredible art, science, philosophy and beauty we share, there still remains evil. Welcome to my blog!
Aditya Mukherjee on March 16th, 2008 10:49 pm

Thanks for the link Bob. Glad you liked the post, and I hope you don’t ‘reactive’ blog

You’re so welcome… Janice! Tell little Amos I said Happy Birthday!
Revellian on March 17th, 2008 12:30 am

Hi Floog! Well, you are such a great writer and I am already a fan. Between you and several other fine writers I’ve found this week…I am absolutely inspired. The past several days have been somewhat surreal for me - it’s like I have psychic blogger radar. You’re most welcome for the link!
Judy on March 17th, 2008 6:26 am

Bobby, I think you’re awesome, not just as a writer, but as a human being… You inspire, You conquer, you triumph, you create, you are one very special person. I really hold you in highest esteem…. Keep rocking Bobby, you are a bright star, in an otherwise dark universe….

A lot of people forget that a man’s race and religion are just his clothes. Look inside and you’ll see we’re all the same. The differences and boundaries are all in our mind. I am you and you are me. One.

Absolutely fantastic intro Bobby. Thank you

Bobby…you are so right in respects to how blogging brings so many people from so many different beliefs and cultures together. it is the most powerful proof I have experienced that shows me in more then a million ways that we all are more alike then different

Garry Conn on March 17th, 2008 1:40 pm

Thanks so much for mentioning my WordPress Design Services… Many people don’t realize how powerful word of mouth marketing is. And with you doing what you did today, that is extremely kind. Even if one client is generated from this post, that is worth the world to me. Thanks so much. I am excited to see how amazing your blog is becoming. Tons of visitors, tons of awesome content… very cool man!

Best Regards,
Garry Conn

Laila on March 17th, 2008 3:34 pm

Thank you so much for mentioning my funny post :).
I loved this post! I did!
The intro as well as the selection of posts, I already opened some of them in new tabs and will start reading!
With more people like you and your readers, the world would be a much better place to live in. Just as you said, with all the art and philosophy and advancements, hatred and evil still exist. But we can all overcome it if we stick to our motto: peace!

Hi Haney! Isn’t is funny how, while countries fight in wars…the people in them are friends with people from all over the world? Peace to you too
Revellian on March 17th, 2008 3:40 pm

What a wonderful thought my dear friend! We really are one people. The people of the planet Earth. The sooner people think that way, the sooner silly things like fighting, greed and hatred will be but a bad memory
Revellian on March 17th, 2008 3:54 pm

Christy! Thank you so much my wonderful friend! I know you have been feeling down. I promise…it will not last. I am here anytime you ever need to talk
Revellian on March 17th, 2008 3:56 pm

Morgan! Have you been taking a blogging break? It’s great to see you. Can bloggers change the world? Yes! I believe we can
Revellian on March 17th, 2008 4:02 pm

Thank you Garry! You are one blogger who practices marketing unlike any other. Your integrity and honesty will bring you tremendous success. Plus that, your friendliness and positive attitude are contagious. Anyone I run across in need of help, design or anything blog related…I will send them directly to you my friend
Revellian on March 18th, 2008 12:46 am

Hi Laila! Your post appears to not be there for some reason. I’m really happy that you enjoyed my post. I said some things I had to say and I feel quite wonderful about it. There are so many great bloggers out there, I am glad to know some of them…including you! Have a great day and peace to you

What? I would run and hide like a frenetic craven
Eric "Speedcat Hollydale" on March 18th, 2008 6:26 pm

Great line up of commenters here … and MORGAN!! I thought she fell in love and moved to an island … J/K - good to see friends again.
You have said before, Bobby - that certain things in blogging mean more than others. To me, being mentioned here is far better than 200 links that were just that … links.
Every now and again, I do get a serious thought Knowing that you picked a post that was special and emotional dealing with my own personal life is comforting. I do not lay my personal feelings out on the line to often, so having friends on the net that accept them with an open mind is refreshing. Morgan actually found this very post when it was buried under 10 new ones…
Thanks for the pat on the back, Bobby. I know it sounds odd, but when I first found this mention, it really made my day.

I am off to follow one of the other blogs listed here!!

Hello Eric! I am proud to present you here. You did a great job and I know many other people were really impressed with such a insightful post besides myself. Yes…it is great to see Morgan. I am overjoyed to hear from her…just like you!
