You know as I go through the blog I remember posts I forgot about. Last month in a fit about comments I re-posted my Airline Meet 'n Seat post. But last week when I was looking for a June, 2011 post to re-post I remembered this post which actually is the post that had the most legitimate comments. I also got a comment from Ms Inconspicuous which was always an even more special and rare treat than a comment from Riff. I think the only comment I ever valued more was probably from Kimberly Errant Wife when I made her "lmfao!" But I guess I'll have to get to that post next month.
But what I really enjoyed about reviewing this old post was remembering those past bloggers that (now so unfortunately long gone) were the "it" bloggers when I first started out. Wow how I tried to emulate Riff and admired Ms I, Elle, Kim and how much I looked forward to posts from Holly. I miss those days and I miss those bloggers but I do have fond memories. Hopefully this is a nice way to remember as well.
But really some advice here, nothing gets comments like mentioning other bloggers and putting links to everyone's blog. Maybe that's why I got so many comments on this post. I guess maybe that goes along with that "attracting more bees with honey" thing I heard once.
Anyway this is a cute but rather silly song. I can only hope you think the same of this blog! :)
Author's note: as I was writing this post I was also thinking about that Jim Carroll song "These are the People Who Died." Jim Carroll btw is the author of the autobiography "The Basketball Diaries" that was later made into a movie and starred Leo DiCaprio as Carroll. More useless info from Ryan I guess!
But I finished this song with the lyrics mentioning Holly as I always felt a kindred spirit with her. That Jim Carroll song ends with the lyrics "and Eddie I miss you more than all the others and I salute you brother; this song is for you my brother."
And so for all those old bloggers this song (and post) is for you my brothers! :)
Ryan's Repeat
from June 20th, 2011........
The other day Richard Blade from XM's First Wave played the song below by the Nails. Please take a quick listen to get the rhythm. Rarely in my life do moments of inspiration occur for me, let's face it - I'm not that deep! But by the end of the ride I decided that I owed the world and more importantly the women of the bloggosphere an Ode! So soon I started to mentally write my version of 88 Lines about 36 Women (& 24 Bloggers) - my ode to some of the ladies who inspire me!

Ah, the memories. So many of these women helped me directly and indirectly.
I am such a doofus sometimes... sat here for a long time trying to figure out why I didn't get a mention and then it hit me... I wasn't blogging then! Ha ha ha.
@ Sassy - darn, I wish you hadn't stopped to think about it, I'd of loved to see you go all Diva on me for leaving you out! :)
I think I had you in my Seuss post a few months ago though!
Dear Ryan,
Those certainly were the good old days, when all our favorite bloggers were actively writing. As you well know, you have always been a favorite of mine, and no doubt, we are kindred spirits. And I'm still here, even though I've faded into the background ;)
