Issue 6

Hello and welcome to the sixth issue of TopBlogMag, and what a magnificent issue it is!

The challenge for this weeks writers was to take the name of a well know cliché, make it the title of their post and then tell us something that happened to them recently.

A hard man is good to find – Three Bright Stars mourns the loss of ‘real men’.
No use crying over spilt milk – a terrifying race against time for Desert Songbird

and our feature post this week, and winner of The Blog Of The Week award,

If you can’t beat them, join them – fighting a loosing battle over whose music is best, In The Trenches Of Mommyhood

And that is not all! We also bring you your regular weekly fixes of;

Another Great Singer – the music review that unearths the not-so-well-known talent; this week featuring the fabulous Theresa Anderson.
The Blog Review – Plooptionary, because graphs can be fun and other such drivel - yet another hilarious must-read for your blogroll.

As always, each and every post you can see on this page is part of this weeks issue, so scroll right down to the bottom, leave some comments for our writers and click on over to see them at their own blogs for more of their writing.

If you wish to see your writing here with links to your blog along side other great writers simply leave us a comment or send us an email (topblogmag@gmail.com) and we will get in touch.

In the last week we have had an influx of requests to join our writers list and we would like to issue a hearty welcome to all those that have been added – you can see our new additions in our writers blogroll, please do go on over and say hello to them (if you have been in touch but haven’t heard from us yet don’t panic, I shall be in touch soon).

Oh hello. I'd like to submit my blog to yours! Everything I write is original. Sometimes it's about the lumber business ("Softwood Lumber-Dispute & Market Info" category), sometimes it's about my Wild Bald Eagle photography ("Bald Eagle Photos" category), and sometimes it's just personal yacking about me ("Random Ramblings" category).
I've already added a button linking back to you on my sidebar.
thanks! Keta

Featured Post and Blog of the Week



You Are Here
by Amie from MammaLoves...

You did well in school to get into college. You tried to get by well enough in college to be attractive to an employer or graduate program, and along the way you may have opened your heart a time or two. Maybe you even found true love.

With a foot in the door, the first years of work were the time to
prove your mettle once again. Promotions, raises all with the goal to secure your future will allow you to settle down, buy a house, travel, commit to a relationship, have kids or not. In what feels like a blink of an eye, your future is here.

And now what?

Chance Favors Only Those Who Court Her

by Debbie from Missives from Suburbia


After a less-than-friendly divorce, I was on the market again. Seizing the opportunity, my friends scoured their address books and Palm Pilots for single men and set me up on blind date after blind date. My reaction to most of those dates was, "I call these people my FRIENDS?" One of my real friends suggested Match.com, and given how much I love the Internet, I gave it a go.

A couple months of e-dating passed by in a blink. It was fun, but so far nothing meaningful had hit my radar, and my match inventory was starting to run low. You see, Match.com "matches" you to people based on a list of your requirements, and I'd pretty much run through all my existing matches who didn't seem psycho or stoned, based on their profiles.

Then, one day, I got an email from a guy who was not a match by my standards...

A Lost Opportunity

by John from Altjiranga Mitjina


Trying to break in as a writer in the comic book industry can be a bit like the one legged man in a butt kicking contest. Every step forward you make means you land on your butt after your kick forward. Comic books are a visual medium. An artist can bring a portfolio to an editor at a convention and said editor can sit there and look at it within minutes and decide if this artist is worthy of working on the newest issue of Stupendous Man or not. Trying being a hopeful writer handing over a script to this same editor at a busy comic convention. You’ll be lucky if the editor agrees to take the script and promise that they’ll look at it later. Most times the hopeful writer is told to send for their submission guidelines and mail in their proposal.

The best way for a writer is to find an aspiring artist and hook up...

Jesus Toothpaste!

by Karen Rayne from Adolescent Sexuality Today with Karen Rayne, Ph.D.


This weekend I went out of town, leaving my family to fend for themselves. On Saturday, my darling husband took my two darling daughters – 6 and 3 years old – to what he heard was a fun new toy store in town. Great, right?

They walk in the door, and the 6-year-old pipes up with “Look, Daddy! Jesus toothpaste!” He takes one look, puts one hand on each girl’s shoulder, and does a 180 out of the store. It may be a fun new toy store, but it’s intended clientele does not include the under-13 set.

When I got home on Sunday, the first thing the 6-year-old says to me was, “Guess what! We saw Jesus toothpaste!” I blinked, figuring I hadn’t heard her correctly. Regrettably, I had...

A biker, a green thumb, a cracked hand, and a Queen.

by Megan from Velveteen Mind, originally guest posted at Queen of Spain


A random biker on a Harley-Davidson took my picture last week. What I wanted to do was take his picture, but I hesitated. Now, instead of a photo of some random biker holding an i am bossy.com bumper sticker, all I have is a lame photo of me holding the bumper sticker and the mental picture of him riding off into the sunset, never to be seen again.

Okay, it wasn’t as romantic or dramatic as that. It was nine in the morning and there was no sunset.

This is not the first time that I have hesitated to seize an opportunity. I don’t expect it will be the last. However, I hope with each lost chance for something intriguing, I will lose a shade of that hesitation for next time...
