In the vast sea of incredible blogs, my favorites are those that reflect lives lived to their fullest. While political and technology related blogs get more press, that doesn't make their less popular, thought-provoking cousins any less deserving of attention.




The Bunny Blog is one of the best personal journey blogs written today. Erin Tyler, the tortured 20-something behind the words, is always good for inspiring laughter, pity, or awe. Rest assured, I mean that in the nicest way. Her antics and sexual escapades are never anything less than entertaining, and I find myself laughing out loud as she discusses her inhumanly large bowel movements.




Somehow, though, there's always a tie-in to something deeper. It's never just a story about irritable bowel syndrome or antidepressants. It's a story about irritable bowel syndrome or antidepressants with a message. Youthful restlessness, experimentation, and living with passion are the overarching themes of her posts. And of course, “Let's all just kiss.”




Hoo-ah.net is another great blog which is even a member of the same content network as The Bunny Blog. Hoo-ah.net is the tale of an unknown corporate dynamo turned special forces soldier. At 27, he found himself entirely unsatisfied with his successful life and career. Instead of getting depressed about it, he gave up the money, the power, and the freedom for the chance to protect ours. If that's not enough for you, the stories are some of the most entertaining you'll ever read.




While the site doesn't have as many posts as I'd like to see, what's there is quality. With more chapters, it could easily make a best-selling novel. The tale progresses from the moment he decided to join the army to the moment he enters basic training. With luck, there will be much more to come.




Takeaways
  • If you only know news blogs, you are limiting yourself.
  • When I want thought-provoking, well-written stories by real people, I turn to these blogs.
  • A life lived well is worth reading about.
Did You Know?
Jack Kerouac wrote "On the Road" on one continuous sheet of typing paper. Too bad he didn't blog it.
