No, I didn't create this post to tell how I finally moved far enough up the evolutionary ladder to finally have legs. I am glad to be a Gecko (as I decline to be a Newt).
Actually, I want to rave about the new star of the blogging world. Having joined the blogging world just one week ago, norbizness has already drawn an honorable mention from TLB.* I read every post on this new blog, and found the writing to be fresh and funny. Also, norbizness is an Austin resident, so the addition of another great Texas blogger can do nothing but improve the Blogosphere. I am gladly blogrolling him for these reasons, but would like have done so for no other reason than having seen written:
Glenn Reynolds a fucktard.**Regrettably, tied to Blogger and Blog*Spot, who knows if any of the permalinks will ever be working.
As long as I am writing about great Texas bloggers, my own homey The Fat Guy has recognized my existence and even invited me to the "notClark Co. Blogger Bash" next weekend, requesting that I bring along some fried chickens. It does sound like a plan, but Scott, isn't the Texas Music Nation Celebration 2003 scheduled for next weekend?
One last item: Steven at PoliBlog graciously acknowledged my having blogrolled his site. I am hopeful that he will take some time in the future to read some of my commentary and repay the favor. If his postulate about being mentioned by a major (or at least mid-level) blogger increasing your readership has any basis in truth, the above reference to my being mentioned (although not by name) by The Fat Guy ought to give me a boost up the evolutionary ladder.
*Despite my regular readership and commentary on TLB, I do not recall NZBear having ever mentioned my existence (other than allowing me to play in his Blogoshpere Ecosystem or posting my entry to the The New Weblog Showcase), and surely not in the "Bite-Sized Truth" column.
**I keep having this perverse idea about attempting to get all the bloggers to delink InstaPundit for one 24 hour period. It is not that I really have anything against Glenn Reynolds, but it is sometimes fun to scheme about ways to topple the high and mighty.

I also have no idea how I rate -- my preferred term is 'z-list', since I'm liable to put you to sleep.
