Best Gay Blog 10

Blood Ray is a 31 year old Libra from St Louis. He describes himself as a “corporate drone no more…finding my way in the world, ten years or so after I thought I should have found it already. And I love pudding.” His blog, Diary of Blood Ray is exactly that – what you would expect in a diary with only the slightest awareness of an Internet audience.

Blood has an honest straightforward style and intention in his writing. He shares his moments of melancholy as well as his hope and excitement about his future. Some time back shortly after turning 30 he shares, “Whilst driving home from the bar tonight (my first major outing since being sick), I was struck with melancholy. I'm feeling restless again, and not sure what to do about it.” I am impressed by his capability to share a brain dump of thoughts and feelings, all while keeping the audience (sometimes the whole country) engaged.

Blood shares some of the simple things in life such as books he’s read, movies he has seen (or is yet to see like the upcoming Rent) and the purchase of household items like a mirror. His blog design is fairly simple, and not all that professional – but that is not the reason to visit. Blood Ray does not have lots of hunks or art, but does share a bit of imagery related to the topic of each entry. He also is a cutie (yes, he posts some self pictures) who looks to be an intellectual in his low to mid twenties. Go check it out yourselves to provide your own comments with your thoughts. Other recent topics include a ranting on Chicago, adventures as a Dave & Buster virgin, and thoughts of working in the restaurant industry.
