There is a blog I read, and I've got to say it's one of my favorites. It's one of my favorites and yet I dont link this blog. Not that I haven't struggled with the decision, because he does have me linked and, well—you like to link to blogs you like to read. But the very reason I like this blog so much is because it is not part of the "blog circle" so much...it is very unpretentious (yes I can recognize what this looks like smarty) and unvisited and a guy just lives his day to day life, drinking somewhat alcoholically and talking in unvarnished prose about the people he meets and what he wishes or regrets. And it feels like one of the least puttin-on-airs, most personal, truthful blogs I read. Picture an Asian Butkowski who doesn't care for poetry.

So here's a shout out, bro. I wanted you to know I read you. And enjoy what you write. And my not linking is not a sign of disrespect, but one of respect. Perhaps it's not my decision to make, but I just think the place is so much prettier without a bunch of people dragging shoes, smoke, and links through it.

If you would rather I link you, you can hit that "contact nezua" button to your left, tell me, and I will. I'd be a little sad. Maybe it sounds selfish, but I guess it's sort of like if you found pearl jam before anyone else...and pearl jam didn't suck...and was just one guy with a bottle, instead of a sweaty head of ringlets and an affected snarl. Just like that, actually.

PLAY BLACK!!! WOOO! ::holds lighter aloft::
