Bud Buckley, Confessions of a Singer / Songwriter: Bud is another blogger that I consider a friend, besides being a talented musician. I started out purchasing one of his CD’s, simply because I enjoyed his music. His CD “Feel my Love,” is wonderful music, that I enjoy listening to often while blogging. Bud is a retired school teacher, with a very caring heart. His posts encompass, his life with his wonderful wife Cathy, and details about different aspects of his songwriting. He also shares new songs he is working on, and/or completed. When I was struggling with a personal issue, Bud took the time to mail out and lend me a book, that he thought would be helpful. And Bud, I am enjoying reading it, and will get that back to you soon. An exceptional human being, you can also listen to,and pick up a copy of his CD, “Feel my Love” on his blog.

Brad at Blogg’d: Brad’s biting, sarcastic humor, has also been a favorite. Brad reviews different blogs, doling out Blessings or Burns, in the form of a post and a button. On my sidebar, you will see a Burned by Blogg’d button. I requested the burn, and he didn’t disappoint. Poking fun, tongue in cheek, at many blogs floating around blogland, his brand of humor is something I enjoy on a regular basis. There’s just something about a man, not afraid of saying anything!

Timmortal at Shady Dreams: Is one of my recent finds. Tim shares openly about his life, thoughts and emotions. Capable of writing humor that has you laughing till you cry, (check out his “guys night out” posts) or have you crying for the brutal honesty of his thoughts, emotions, struggles and triumphs. Another rare read, by a very talented writer.

Kaos at Kaoticism : Is a young man who says what’s on his mind, and doesn’t pull any punches. He is what I imagine is considered “cool” among young people. His topics are varied, sometimes controversial. Like his one calling Santa, Satan. I laughed, and of course disagreed. Kaos is a devoted family man, and I completely love his mom, Tutu!

Norsegod : Another young man, and friend to Kaos, whose topics vary, and is unafraid of speaking his mind. Living in Colorado, I also keep up on the battle on the legalization of marijuana in that state thru his blog.

Dave at Blog Thunderdome: The creator of Two blogs enter, one blog leaves. This place can be downright scary! Where insults fly, and blogs are banned for a period of two months. On occasion I participate, but on the whole, I get a strange fascination watching the lynch mob mentality that can break out in the comment sections now and then.

The Village Idiot at Kicked Puppies: His light quirky humor and solid writing, has me giggling or smiling regularly. A gentleman who is gracious, with a wonderful sense of humor.

Middle-Aged Man : His observations and again, his humor have me checking in with him regularly. Although I have a teensy problem with a man in his mid thirties calling himself middle-aged. (I think that’s a personal problem on my part)

Ted at Irreverent Codex : A British gentleman, with THE sexiest of British accents, who shares tales from his personal life and workplace characters. He has a unique, subtle writing style, that engages his readers, whether an observation on errand runs for his wife, or the quirky characteristics of some of his subordinates in his office.

Andy Martello’s Tales from Andy Land: A Comedian, juggler, fire eater, plate spinner and freelance writer, with a unique fascination for penguins. His writing is funny and entertaining! He also likes naked women, martini’s and cigars. What’s not to love!

The Fabulous Vegas Brothers Blog : Performers and Comedians. Simply entertaining! I do think I have consented to becoming one of Nicky Vegas’ many EX-wives, along with many other quality women of blogs. (I was high on pain pills though, so I’m not sure if that counts)

Steve at Bent Collective : My newest and latest blog crush. (Women can be such fickle bitches) I ran into Steve while commenting on the blog Discuss It. (A relatively new blog, that takes a look at current events and topics, allowing everyone to post an opinion.) Steve and I disagreed on the topic “Keep your Religion Out of my Pharmacy,” he then (unintentionally) insulted me, and I’ve been his loyal reader ever since!

Steve is a Nurse Practitioner, who has worked over in Africa administering medical aid to the HIV and AIDS patients there. His blog holds so much depth, relevance, and educational information regarding the plague that HIV/AIDS has become. Delivered in a very humanistic, personal and well written manner, Steve draws his readers into this battle on AIDS.

Steve is a Humanitarian and Activist, who speaks out intelligently, supporting Literacy, Women’s Rights and Gay and Lesbian Rights. On a personal note, what impresses me immensely is Steve’s ability to look beyond stereotypes and connect with people on a personal and respectful level. I cannot do this blog, or this mans life and writings justice, here in a few short paragraphs. I highly recommend reading Bent Collective. His knowledge and work will amaze and touch your heart. Steve is a testament to the caring and giving spirit, that mankind is capable of.

While I might have left out a few of my favorite MANblogs, it wasn’t intentional. The topic of quality MANblogs, while it engages me wholeheartedly, can tend to fluster me as well. So many MANblogs, so little time! Each one of these blogs offers something unique and special. Worthy of the time it takes to read them. So to anyone who would say, “there are not that many quality MANblogs out there,” I would say you haven’t been down my blogroll!
