Blog 31: The Secret Life of Kat

It's been a regular blogaissance* lately.  I haven't really been looking for them, but I keep finding all these awesome blogs.  Especially around Atlanta - all these people I know are blogging now.  It's pretty weird.

But before I get to those, I still have several great blogs that I've been reading a long time that I've got to mention.  The next one is Kat.

If you'll look over to my sidebar, you'll see her description:  A Typical Southern, Suburban, Soccer Mom...or Maybe Not.  I think that sums it up pretty well.  I've mentioned before my respect for the mom bloggers.  And since I am kind of a stay at home dad for at least half the time, I can relate to a ton of what they write about.  But then there's the gender thing.  I kind of get that same sort of feeling I get when I'm at my daughter's ballet class and there are all these moms there and me sitting down there on the end trying to look cool and nonchalant and then that one little girl that talks a lot says "why is Abbie's daddy ALWAYS here?"  You know what I'm saying - I can relate, to a point...

What's cool about Kat's blog, and why I keep coming back, is that she seamlessly weaves the mom thing into so many other things.  She has a whole music "sub-blog" thingy (MAN I'm jealous of you Wordpress types with your sub-blog thingys!) that is quite interesting.  And she listens to a bunch of cool music and reads a bunch of cool books.  I guess you could say she's one cool, um, Kat.

Man I'm on a roll!  Or whatever the opposite of a roll is... At any rate, check out Kat.  Her blog is the COOLEST!**

BTW - the reason I mention Kat today is that next week she's doing some kind of "summer camp" thing on her blog.  Color me intrigued.  I'm there!

* Hey, if you can make me use stupid words like "blogosphere", I'm going to make up my own...
** I've found myself saying that a lot lately.  Almost becoming a catch phrase.  Now if I could just find my wig and glasses, it would be BRILLIANT.***
*** Yes, that would be an Extras reference...

Why is Abbie's Daddy ALWAYS here....Its because Abbie's Daddy ROCKS!!!
How many other Daddies would have the ummm...gumption...to go to his little Princess's Dance Class? Only a REAL man can endure that ;)
Keep on shinin' Mark!

Well, gosh. It's cool enough that I made Mark's "50 Blog in 50 Days" list, but to have you all say such nice things about me too? Well, I'm just beside myself.

Hello, self...

I do want to make sure that you all know, though, that TSLOK Summer Camp isn't until May 25-30. I wouldn't want anyone to show up with their sleeping bags and flashlights a whole week early...

Thanks again, Mark for the kind words.

Kat is the second blog I read every day for about the last two years, second only to Shaun Groves' blog. She really IS the COOLEST!

Yeah, Kat *is* pretty great! I first discovered her when she was doing that PDA give away to benefit people in Africa. Thanks to her Twitter updates, I just found you *here.* What fun! :o)

Nice word about Kat! She's a cool one.

You're a regular blogonteur. You blog me right round. I get blogcited, I just can't hide it. It's blogilicious.
I got a million of 'em...

    What's in my CD player

    • R.E.M. -

      R.E.M.: Accelerate CD/DVD
      Athens' own return with a trashy cool offering - their most consistent album in years. I think they're mad at their dad or something (****)

    • The Rolling Stones -

      The Rolling Stones: Shine a Light: Original Soundtrack
      This is what a live album SHOULD sound like. Unedited, unfixed - just a good recording of what happened that night... (****)

    • Mudcrutch -

      Mudcrutch: Mudcrutch
      Tom Petty and Mike Campbell reunite with their old band and forge an instant classic. (****)

    • Counting Crows -

      Counting Crows: Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings
      It was pretty gutsy to lay it out the way they did: all the rockers on the "Saturday Night" section and all the ballads on the "Sunday Morning" side. But it works, and in a major way. Some of the best guitar work I've heard in recent memory. (*****)

    • The Black Crowes -

      The Black Crowes: The Lost Crowes
      WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME ABOUT THIS RECORD?! You've heard most of these songs on other records, but it's just so raw and band-y here. Fall in love with the best band in the world all over again... (*****)

    • Pillar -

      Pillar: For The Love Of The Game
      So far this is the album to beat for the rock album of 2008 in the Christian market... The title track has kind of been my "theme song" the last couple of months. (*****)

    • Maylene and the Sons of Disaster -

      Maylene and the Sons of Disaster: II
      The perfect blend of Southern rock and metal - this is my favorite album right now. (*****)

    • Kevn Kinney -

      Kevn Kinney: Broken Hearts & Auto Parts
      I picked this up in Athens the other day. It starts out a little slow, but turns into vintage Kevn Kinney/Drivin n Cryin. This is as good as anything he/they have ever put out! (****)

    • The Black Crowes -

      The Black Crowes: Warpaint
      If you look up "killer" in the dictionary, you will find a picture of these guys.

    • Baroness -

      Baroness: Red Album
      So far the most original and inspiring music I've heard this year... (*****)

    • Down -

      Down: Down - Over The Under
      This is easily the most rockin' records I've ever owned. It's like redneck Soundgarden. Heaven for a dude like me... (*****)

    • Demon Hunter -

      Demon Hunter: Storm the Gates of Hell
      Don't let the "metalcore" label fool you. This album features some of the biggest and hookiest choruses you'll ever hear. "Lead Us Home", "Carry Me Down", and "Thorns" are great examples. Plus I think they'll give you your money back if the title track doesn't make your ears bleed :) (*****)
