The next big thing!

I am a huge fan of Cake Wrecks, Post Secret, Not Always Right , Texts from Last Night not only because they are fun to distract my brain midday while i eat my lunch at my desk (with the exception of  TFLN since is blocked by the state), but also because I think they are amazingly inspired and clever. I mean the fact that Jen of Cake Wrecks collects photos of cakes, yes cakes, makes hilarious comments and posts them on the web to amuse us daily and then makes a living out of it is sheer genius! And Post Secret is so hauntingly charming and so full of sociological insight that one could teach an college course about it. So why can't I come up with MY idea for a cleaver and charming blog topic that will snowball into the next must-read blog? Something to collect, that people send in, that reflects the decay or beauty of our society? I mean have you ever read Found Magazine ?! That shit is sheer brilliance! I have a co-worker who post photos on her Facebook page of funny things she finds just out in the real world. Nothing fancy, just simple experiences, feelings and observations of the complete silliness around us. I mean Shit My Dad Says went from a Twitter feed to a TV show. I don't want fame or a book deal, just an inspired idea.  Damn, wish I was that clever.

Stuff White People Like

So I know that I am behind the times and my friend Gail was on top of this weeks ago, but I just had time to really check out. Stuff White People Like, which is a blog about what White + Middle Class + American + Gen X/Y + Urban People Like. And basically describes me and most of the people I know.
I was both horrified and amused as I read the "full list of SWPL" and realized that over 90% of them would also be on a list of "Stuff Heather Likes". I am proud to say that I am a public radio lovin-yoga doin-farmer's market goin-recycling-vegetarian, who supports Barak Obama and loves my gay friends, Arrested Development and overpriced sandwiches!
If you haven't already, check it out and get a good laugh at your self-important self.
