stories of a hopeless tragedy
The Beauty of Cynicism
Beaumont resident, 24, who has a hubby and 4 dogs. I'm totally in love with all of them so I'm sure a good bit of my stories will be about them.....all of them.
The Infamous Vettacini
I'm a truly twisted sister. A music loving die hard Bob & Tom fan with ridiculous random thoughts. Welcome to my nighmare!!!!!
The Lawyer's Drudge
Wang Chi's seperate blog for my less inflamatory thoughts on my day job-- legal news, the latest antics of the Texas judicial system, and so forth.
The Mighty, Mighty Neches
A mostly Beaumont-centric (Bomocentric?) collection of whatever flotsam and jetsam comes into my head - music, drinking, history, sports, politics, poetry. About 1/6th the gravity of a regular blog.
The Trash Palace
Author is the managing editor of news, business and photo for The Beaumont Enterprise. He's been in the newspaper business since 1985 and has worked in many Texas cities. He's run 14 marathons, plays trumpet and writes, performs, records and produces some seriously bad music.
Under the News
I am the managing editor for features, sports and presentation at the Beaumont (TX) Enterprise, a 60, 000-circulation daily newspaper. I am also the author of two novels "Angel Fire" and "The Deadline."
Wang Chi's House of Pancakes
My rambling ruminations as I drink the second bottle of wine. Don't expect too much. Hell, I don't even know why I do it. In vino veritas!
Warm puppies
My blog is about my views and opinions on animals, pets, and occasionally about my personally life but mainly it is about my love for animals.
Yifan's Blog
My online notebook.
Listing changes
While I've sought and posted new blogs, I've realized some logistical problems. Consequently, I’ll list blogs by city in individual posts and link the city to the appropriate post. These posts will list active, new and dead blogs alphabetically.
The sidebar will continue to list active blogs alphabetically and by frequency without regard to actual location within the 100 mile range of Beaumont.
Hopefully these changes will accommodate new blogs, some older blogs and still work to best serve the community.
