Blogs make you feel close to people... even ones you don't know. I have to say, my favorite blog has always been and continues to be Sam Ruby's. I was out in Seattle and had a bum approach me an I was rude. My friends walking with me looked at me like I was a mad man. I have an innate fear towards homeless people after almost being mugged by a group of homeless people after leaving a club in SF a few years back. I didn't even bother to explain myself because I felt so stupid for my reaction. Thanks for the bit of inspiration Sam!
