Time to Lighten Up.

Do you think this guy from the NY Times read my post about Michael Moore the other day? Heh.

"MICHAEL MOORE did something shocking for the People's Choice Awards show in Los Angeles on Sunday night - he got himself coiffed.
We're not saying for sure that there was product in the hair; but it certainly looked as if "Queer Eye for the Filmmaker Who Wants That Academy Award Really Bad" had made an emergency house call:
The hair had been trimmed and trained in such a way as to head upward; the scruffy beard we saw only last week in New York had become one of those crisp trendy goatees; the guy was wearing a handsome dark suit and a tie."


Not exactly what I said, but close.


This NY Times Article may explain a little bit about bloggers. It's called "The Secret Lives of just about Everybody.":

"The urge to act out an entirely different persona is widely shared across cultures as well, social scientists say, and may be motivated by curiosity, mischief or earnest soul-searching. Certainly, it is a familiar tug in the breast of almost anyone who has stepped out of his or her daily life for a time, whether for vacation, for business or to live in another country."

Or say...maybe to blog? Who knows? Maybe Blackfive is really a dweeby accountant in North Dakota. Maybe Allah is a little old lady in New Jersey. (Yes! He (she?) is back!!) And for all we know SondraK could be Jeff at BA in drag, blogging both sites. I myself could be secretly single pretending to have all these kids to see if I can find a decent guy out there.

There is just no way of truly knowing for sure.
