Raymi The Minx

I am a secret lover of Raymi The Minx
- aka Lauren White. -

I look at her blog everyday.
I can tell she has an English Mum like me because she spells Mom "Mum" like a good english kid would.

- I bought the book, Marketable Depression because like most celebrity worship you just can't get enough.

Marketable Depression is a dirty-feeling diary.... A spew of uncomfortable in-depth-ness.....
Scary - but not really - when you consider the circumstances in which you came across it.


Why the fuck are we all so addicted to blogs anyways?!?
The unknown, the Peeping-Tom factor, getting inside someone's average life and analyze whether or not you agree or approve. For a laugh or for a cry....Just like you judge people in the real world, you judge blog people.
Lameness is universal and in various forms of HTML as well.
Maybe, if yer lucky, you will see an enthralling and artistic picture or two.

Blogs are a way to vent, to advertise, to have a voice, to be fucked up without consequence. We all wanna be something beyond our stupid lives we lead in the real world. It's all a secret little world inside your computer that eventually you begin to trust and worry that you may not satisfy....

You should appreciate blog writing not unlike you appreciate poetry...
Here is a little quote from Dylan Thomas that should apply to blogs as well as a poems.

"Read the Poems (blogs) you like reading. Don't bother whether they are important, or if they will live. What does it matter what poetry (blogging) is? after all. If you want a definition of poetry (blogging) say : Poetry (Blogging) is what makes me laugh or cry or yawn, what makes my toenails twinkle or what makes me do this or that or nothing." and let it go at that.... All that matters about poetry (blogging)is the enjoyment of it, however tragic it may be. All that matters is the external movement behind it, the vast undercurrent of human grief, folly, pretension, exhilaration, or ignorance, however unlofty the intension of the poem (blog)."

Maybe I am looking too deep into this.....

Nevertheless

Now there are Blog Bullies and Spam Nazis.....
But hey, Blog-reading is like a reality show that you can comment on.

Raymitheminx.blogspot.com is an honest to goodness guilty pleasure with an edge. I live vicariously through her antics. Enjoy the simpleness. Re-live a miss-spent youth. Hear about what movies are worth seeing and where to get drunk at live shows that are good in Toronah.
....... Maybe at the very least you'll see Nipples and some great fashion statements.

Lauren White is a personal web-log Pioneer you know.

Here is my favorite story from "Marketable Depression".....





Buy her Book. Buy it here. It's on sale for Christmas.
It's not pretty, but when you are 87 you might want to remember your secret blog-life as if it was a real source of human interaction.
So all in all,
A satisfyingly depressive memento into the human-blog life you now live here in late 2005.
