As different as day and night. The hot and the cold. Yin and Yang. That’s Bugsey and me. She is the excitable, fiery one while I am the (normally) cool and unflappable one.
Bugsey came into my life through Multiply, and my bloglife has never been the same. In my early Pre-Bugsey bloglife, I wasn’t too much into posting blogs save for a few canine welfare issues that was/is my main topic of interest. Then Bugsey came along. She is the type of person who would really spend time to read your blog and throw in her two cents’ worth–usually more. She somehow forced me to pump more energy into my bloglife.
She blogs with a passion and speed that would put the Shinkansen to shame, and she loves every second of it. Blogging may not be her life, but she certainly lives every second of it with such verve that you can actually feel her infectious energy as you enter her site. Once in there, the actions zip by. You better be quick at reading the most recent post, as she would post some more at the blink of an eye. The rest of us slow-footed ones can just stare at awe.
The quick-witted Bugsey loves hot stories. See the latest news on TV and the papers, and you will find it in Bugsey’s blog within minutes. The hotter, the better. My impression is that she loves the news part of it as much as she loves the controversy.
I have to admit that her blogs and links sometimes make me squirm uncomfortably. No, she would never blog or link anything bad. In fact, I think she writes exceedingly well. It’s just that the slow-footed, sensitive Sally in me can’t seem to grasp the harsh realities of the fast world out there as reflected in Bugsey’s blogs and links on most days.
And here’s something more–after posting all those fast, hot and zany issues, she would surprise us all with an inspirational song, a heart-warming video, or a beautiful reflective thought of the day. Bugsey is, within herself, a paradox.
Bugsey calls me “too sensitive,” and I call her a “nutsy fruitcake.” The two of us–night and day, Yin and Yang, are the mirrors of the Bloglife.
That’s probably because there is HOT and COLD. YIN and YANG. DAY and Night.SANE and CRAZY.SHAMELESS and ONION SKINNED
Like life, blogging is a “contradiction”, yet even when there is a black and white, there can be shades of grey. Life like a blog is not “rigid” — people are different but it is the differences that we have that make us unique!
Imagine if all of us were the same? Life would be like the movie Zombie! I think we are all paradoxes, that’s why I believe in Creation (naiba nanaman) — because we are all unique and it’s that uniqueness that makes each and everyone of us special!
Hi Bugsey.
The pardoxes, the uniqueness in us–that’s what makes life interesting. Certainly, we do no wish to live our blog lives as Zombies on the net. We color the blog world, Bugsey!
Thanks for visiting the Angel’s Garden.
This is a beautiful entry Sally. And Bugsey, thank you for being you in your response. You are really a paradox in multiply, everytime trying to challenge us with your nutsy wit and eccentric ideas (for me) at other times, mixed with funny new words like “pooter” I can’t help but laugh. But it is easy to tell that you are way smarter than any of us no matter how you try to hide or disguise it. Let it shine Bugsey. And you too Sally — this is getting livelier.
Hi, Lou.
Thank you!
I would like to think that Bugsey and I pose as a challenge to each other by the mere fact that we are opposites…she with her usually wry wit that cracks me up and I with my sugariness that makes her sick sometimes…*grins*. But I prefer it that way. We can always meet in the gray areas in between, and we profit from seeing things through the opposite window. No matter what the differences are/may be, I believe that we do respect each other’s point of view.
nice entry!
“She blogs with a passion and speed that would put the Shinkansen to shame, and she loves every second of it.”
Exactly! No different from the Bugsey I first came to know at the forums of old. She voices out her wit and will put to shame any bad fruitcake who will dare cross her path.
She can also be too funny at times. One thing lang that strikes me though, is that she is always consistent in her logical and sensible posts.
Hi, Louise.
Thank you!
I’m happy to see you here at the Angel’s Garden.
Well, I have to admit that Bugsey drives me crazy most of the time. But that’s Bugsey. I wouldn’t be able to recognize her on the net otherwise. We’ll have to love her as is, where is.
wow naman, how sweet! yeah, bugsey is really one of a kind.
Hi, Dave.
Of course, I need to be consistently sweet too.
Hi all,
Now I know a little bit more of my new multiply contact, Bugsey.
Sally, you’re so sweet as a friend that you even take time to write about them
Thanks, Sonnie.
My sweetness kills Bugsey sometimes.
She has yet to make up her mind whether to love me or to hate me for my “sweetness.”
I also like bugsey. She does not mince words and yet she’s so funny. I think that the two bitchiest and interesting blogs are bugseys and Jessica Zafra. I love them both.
