Blogblah!!! » The Duty http://johnrlong.com I just blather on and on about stuff that interests me, mostly politics and sex and sometimes movies and art.

I thought about writing something about this date in history and the current recession, but screw that when there’s televised nostalgia to be had.

I’d like to introduce you to The Duty (“…I hope I’m pronouncing that right”), a blogger I met through Twitter friends.
He’s rude and inappropriate and spends far, far too much time on the interweaveswebtubesnet but we get the benefit because his blog is a never-ending stream of diverting images and video, much of it of the hard to find music variety. He’s basically a new rocknroll guy (but you put your own label on his choices and I’m betting he has a hard time describing it in a word or three) and the music is hit or miss with me, but AT LEAST IT’S NOT THE SAME OLD SHIT. Meanwhile, his commentary and odd visual images and ironic/hipster/scatalogical captions are diverting enough and often enough that it’s at least daily for me to check in on him.
I think I actually once saw the guy at the Red Cup, but didn’t recognize him in time to speak to him. He runs around with a bunch of my friends that I don’t see much anymore — Yes, Eric Dawson, we’re all looking at you — and some others I do, like JD Merryweather, who is just f*ing tearing up this town with his new microbrewery — COOP — on his way to New Social Media Maven of the 21st Century AND BEYOND! first runner up.
