This blog portrays itself as being the upper class of blogs. This leaves you with the initial impression that the blogger is arrogant and not worth reading. However, once you read several of his posts you will find a smart witty writer well worth reading that in no way comes across as arrogant. I do not feel a particular affiliation with this blog or feel the blogger and I have a lot in common. It is just simple enjoyable reading that keeps me coming back for more.

I really can’t put my finger on why, but I have found I really enjoy reading this blog. It probably has to do with the writer being a runner and discussing running on his blog, always a topic I enjoy. And then it probably also has to do with this writer being the first blogger I have seen, truly able to incorporate sarcasm into his work without it seeming initially offensive. Of course, my gut feeling that I know his boyfriend, even though I cannot place him outside of being able to say we are both originally from the same town (data gleaned from the blog), doesn’t hurt my interest in the blog.
