It’s Saturday!! You know what that means, right? Native-Love Saturday!
Slyde’s Blog and The Verdant Dude
Asking me whether I like Slyde from Slyde’s Blog or B.E. Earl from The Verdant Dude is like asking me which of my eyes or hands I like better.
Actually…
I prefer my right eye and right hand, but you get the point. I meant to illustrate that I can’t choose between them.
These gentlemen have occupied the “Must Read” section of my reader for at least a year, I think. Maybe longer?
B.E. Earl’s blog covers baseball, 80s music, baseball movies, beer, baseball, food, New York, baseball and all sorts of random stuff. Did I mention baseball? Slyde will discuss these things, sometimes, but adds in little snippets about his job, family and how hot he is. He also spices it up with the occasional rant. So, he’s the girl. The very, er, masculine and handsome girl.
My favorite part about reading these blogs is reading what these two have written in one another’s comment section, though.
It reminds me of … well, high school. But, in a good way.
It’s like those times I would sit in the cafeteria with boys from my classes and giggle at the good humored insults they hurled at each other because they couldn’t figure out how to say, “I love you, man” without losing major macho points.
Most of all what compels me to read these particular blogs on a regular basis is the “realness” that both of these bloggers display. Like those special people we know every day outside of the Internet, neither of these guys are about just one thing.
If they think it’s interesting, they write about it. The enthusiasm behind the content draws me in and I never feel victimized by shameless pandering.
So, anyway, that’s why this Saturday is for loving Earl and Slyde.
Attention Recipient of Native Love Saturday: You do not have to post this award. It’s not about me. It’s about you. If you do post about it, though, please link back to me. Also?

I adore Earl. I also adore that he wore his PROPERTY OF GIA shirt when he went to Hard Rock Times Square with us for Dave York. He is pwned.

@Poppy, I’m a little jealous of the fact that both of you got to see each other. The shirt thing is so cute. Maybe he is the girl, after all.

Well, if you like these guys, then I do, too, and I will check ‘em out.
And every time I see someone else getting this award, I feel proud and happy and fulfilled that I already have one. And smug, since I got it before these guys.
