"'Let me help'. A hundred years or so from now, I believe, a famous novelist will write a classic using that theme. He'll recommend those three words over 'I love you'."

May seems to be the month of changes here on the Blender...

LoveBait.com is a free online matchmaking site. Seems to have some good articles, and over all is a labor of love (no pun intended) so check it out.

1998 had survey results, 1999 ditched having a seperate ramble and review every month, 2000 introduced the guest ramble, 2001 was the premier of the new login system (man, that was only a year ago?) and this year I've created a new highlight spot for promotional links, that green box below. (In case you were wondering, it's not a for-profit thing, just some mutual linkage every once in a while.)

A good mix of Front Page Picks this month, plus a guest ramble by Devin on Keeping the Honeymoon Alive

--Kirk, Blender-Keeper


Murdering Romance
Passion Goodbye: Two word/image combos by Gudkarma. Good stuff in both media.
Le Temps - Just Some Girl.: Not to geek out the goodness of this work, but...I celebrated my 10K day last year...(You can figure out your own daycounts here.)
Friday's journal entry - wistful.: Like Woody Allen said in Crimes and Misdemeanors: "It's very hard to get your head and heart to work together in life. In my case, they're not even friendly."
E - Motion - Debra654.: Wordplaying.
Random Thoughts 8 - Vishal.: An interesting nugget of an idea beautifully expressed.
Groundhog Day
A Lesson In Physics: Two by wordley. Both are playful, but in different ways.

The Princess And The Pea Brained - Galadrial.: Grabbing the bull by the (fairy-)tail.
high school days - erin.: Ah, teenagehood...
getting better - musicalduck.: Kind of rough, both in form and content.
His Passions Included - Misti.: You know, I've always said that it's often the random details that make a poem work for me, but I think the selection of details has to carry a certain message in and of themselves. Misti has a knack for that.
Somewhere South of 71st Street - Tanqueray Cowboy.: Tanq's return after a bit of an absence...great stuff.

Ramble Regarding Romance: "Can You Keep The Honeymoon Alive" -- the way Devin sees it.

Heart on Sleeve Corner: 557 more heartsongs sent to the Blender last month.
