I have long been a lurker over at My Pointless authored by FriendinME (which means Friend in Maine, not Friend in Me, although he is a good friend too), or Steve for short. Steve is an all around nice guy who I’ve enjoyed getting to know a little better over the past few months.

Steve has the most unselfish motivations for creating his blog I’ve ever heard of. Steve wanted to be part of his grown son’s life on a daily basis, providing him something to smile at each day. So, he created his blog so that his son and his co-workers would have something to check every day that would hopefully give them a laugh.

Steve’s website is an easy read. Every post is dedicated to “Odd News” or something unusual that needs further mention, and in some cases just further attention. This encompasses news stories, pictures, or random bits circulating the internet. One of my favorite posts is Children’s Letters to God and Octopus Implants.

My favorite thing about My Pointless, that you don’t get with many blogs is the ability to stop there, spend only a few moments (vs. reading a long post), getting a laugh and then being able to move along. No getting bogged down by too much verbage (haha, sort of like my own!). I also enjoy the colorful and clean template which makes it easier to navigate around. Nothing’s more confusing than too many banners and advertising to get lost in.

Blogging favorites come and go for me, but My Pointless has remained at the top of my list. I enjoy spending my time checking in to see what Steve’s come up with now! If you want some good laughs and a few eyebrow raises - check out My Pointless. You’ll get the point when you get there!
