Surprise, surprise. ‘Tales of the man who(re)’ was not as sexually explicit as I expected. I was prepared to read a site peppered with porn or at least a vanity site belonging to a shallow, narcissistic owner. Tales of the man who(re) is neither of those. Maybe his interesting writing belies an extremely pretentious human being? Who knows? Damned if I could tell.
What sets this blog apart from the others? At face value, not much. Digging into the archives you’ll find the usual weblog fare: quiz results, opinions on pop culture, photos of friends, poetry, etc. The saving grace (a big one) is that the author writes well. Whether it’s complex thoughts or banal minutia, Zachary (the siteowner) knows how to wrap them up, shove them down your throat, and leave you satisfied. Some of his most recent posts are stories about a seemingly perfect woman he just met two weeks ago. Is he in love? Let’s just say that if your posts to your site begin playing out like a paragraph out of a Nicholas Sparks novel, you probably ARE in love. Anyway, you can read his site and decide for yourself.
The design looks like another blogger template. The only complaint I have about it is that the posts are not easily distinguished from the comments.
There’s not many other features besides links which include his other (non-blog) site and other blogs. The weblog itself has only been around since May and it looks like it’s headed in the right direction. Zachary’s posts are fun to read, but they’re not that different from posts by other exceptional bloggers.tale of the man who(re)
