&lt;p&gt;      uh....  I should clarify that David Jon's post are all completely original in relation to the previous day's posts.  They're not 'completely different' as in 'completely crazy'. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Okak welcome to the positivity fest,

Hey ~C4Chaos - This was a good idea.  I appreciate your words about my blog.  Picking a top 3 is rather difficult for me but I'll do it because you did.

1.  &lt;a href="http://coolmel.zaadz.com"&gt;C4Chaos's blog&lt;/a&gt; - replete with insight and a retained youthful exuberance this blog is constantly graced with posts that invite participation (on many levels) and I am never dissapointed when I join in.

One way or another Rommel has managed to create, easily reproduce, foster, and grow a completely unqiue mode of expression (utilizing blogospheric technology) that epitomizes, optimizes, customizes, and revitalizes all the helpful, gifted voices he is expansive enough to cultivate and not-inhibit.

Put simply:  the blogging self formerly known as Coolmel has undergone so much blogging (as a spiritual practice) so as to arrive at a point where the line between his frequently voiced blogging self and his (extracted-from-Divinity) Unique Self is blurred and the line between finding, voicing, and celebrating that unique voice and helping others do the same is similarly blurred.

Can I hear an amen?

I know it seems like I'm overdoing it here, but Rommel has influenced my writing a lot and I appreciate his help in all of the forms it has taken.

2.  &lt;a href="http://robcore.zaadz.com"&gt;Rob's blog&lt;/a&gt; - If you want to read a good book on all things, uh, consciousness-ey....  don't go to the bookstore.  Go to Rob.  He deserves your attention and he does not take your attention lightly.  I don't know what else to say.  Go to Rob.

3.  &lt;a href="http://URL"&gt;David Jon's blog&lt;/a&gt; - David is kind of insane.  I don't know how he's gotten himself into the pattern but everyday he writes a post (often lengthy) about something completely different.  He's been at it for 37 days now.  It seems like not a lot of people are paying him attention but he, too, deserves a lot of attention.  The things he blogs about are always interesting, entertaining, informative, eye-opening, and from a perspective that is genuinely integral: that is, a perspective that sees just how much water actualized integrity has in the world.  You probably won't hear him talking about a four quadrant actualization of incarnational nonduality because David is respectful enough to broaden his audience to a more all-inclusive position although he feels free (and more power to him) to speak to his potential and he does so without fail.  A true offering of uniquity, not to be missed.

This list is way too short.  I have excluded way too many people but that is the nature of these top 3s.  I also suggest you check out my family's blog.  So far only two members are actively blogging (&lt;a href="http://iheartsatan.zaadz.com"&gt;my brother&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://moobular.zaadz.com"&gt;my cousin&lt;/a&gt;).  Whatever ~C4Chaos might say these people are not me.

Also, Zona, Paul Slamone, zenhawk, Shelly, Harmony, Nancy, Rogue, chefmystic, and will.i.am all come (literally) immediately to mind.  Basically check out my friends list.

That's all from me for now,

Brian David

 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Wow, that&amp;#39;s a tough one.... singling out the top three ... it really depends on what I am feeling in the moment and what the blogger is writing in the moment.... so it changes.... so... for now:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(no particular order mind you):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://unconditionallove.zaadz.com/blog" title="Reily"&gt;Reily &amp;amp; The Farm&lt;/a&gt; (aka &lt;a href="http://shelvis.zaadz.com/blog" title="Shelly"&gt;Shelly&lt;/a&gt;) - inspirational and such a deep love for our familiars and reminds us of our responsibility to take care of our beloved creatures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://coolmel.zaadz.com/blog" title="C4"&gt;~C4Chaos&lt;/a&gt; - you just crack me up ... so many good entries that can take you on an adventure across the net!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://zo.zaadz.com/blog" title="Zona"&gt;Zona&lt;/a&gt; - for the spiritually challenging perspectives and the absoulutely awesome connection with the divine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask me again tomorrow and that could change... and why only three???&amp;nbsp; geeesh! ;)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Thanks ~C.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a great topic as I&amp;#39;ve been seeking out blogs on zaadz pretty randomly (by clicking on zaadzsters with similar interests) and often coming up blank.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;d given up and settled into just reading my friends&amp;#39; blogs (thanks to that handy link from my profile page), but now I can get back to exploring.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, my three favorite right now are probably:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://robsclone.zaadz.com/"&gt;ROb&amp;#39;s&lt;/a&gt; : he writes often long posts in a stream of consciousness sort of style, and I like his consciousness.&amp;nbsp; His mind seems to have an infinite capacity for exploring meditation-related stuff, and I always learn something new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://coolmel.zaadz.com/"&gt;C4Chaos&amp;#39;s&lt;/a&gt; : though I get too overwhelmed to read even the titles of every post, this blog just gets me excited.&amp;nbsp; I find myself reading more in general, writing more, seeing more connections in the world.&amp;nbsp; Good stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and...&amp;nbsp; choosing the third is extremely tough because I get something out of every one I read.&amp;nbsp; But I guess I&amp;#39;ll go with&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://riversearain.zaadz.com/"&gt;Raymond&amp;#39;s&lt;/a&gt; : He doesn&amp;#39;t post often, but when he does it&amp;#39;s usually some pretty kick-ass environmental news.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; He&amp;#39;s seems like a great role-model for anyone wanting to live more sustainably.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Fellow Podwans,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Previously I asked a similar question: &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="../view/1222"&gt;What&amp;#39;s Your Top 3 Favorite Blogs?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time I would like to focus our awareness within Zaadz. So, let&amp;rsquo;s use this thread to list our Top Three (3) Zaadz Blogs. Why only three when there are probably &lt;a href="http://www.zaadz.com/people"&gt;thousands of Zaadz blogs&lt;/a&gt; out there already? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider this as time for reflection. Take your time to pick your top three, then &lt;em&gt;give a brief reason why&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ll start&amp;hellip;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://jeff.zaadz.com/"&gt;&lt;img class="buddyicon" src="http://aura.zaadz.com/photos/9145/icon/Rainbow2.gif" alt="Jeff : Yin Yang" title="Jeff : Yin Yang" width="48" height="48" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;a href="http://jeff.zaadz.com/blog"&gt;Jeff&amp;#39;s Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;Jeff is none other than The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Mishlove"&gt;Jeffrey Mishlove&lt;/a&gt;! An uber-kick-ass parapsychologist who in &lt;a href="http://coolmel.typepad.com/iblog/2004/10/thinking_allowe.html"&gt;my younger days&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://jeff.zaadz.com/blog/2006/3/white_noise_--_fact_or_fantasy#comment_13318"&gt;screw my head really good&lt;/a&gt;. So imagine my surprise when I saw him here blogging at Zaadz. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff blogs a lot of good, weird, informative, paranormal, geeky stuff. For some reason I have this &lt;a href="http://coolmel.typepad.com/iblog/2006/02/psi_is_blasphem.html"&gt;uncanny intuition&lt;/a&gt; that &lt;a href="http://jeff.zaadz.com/blog/2006/3/my_inner_healing_advisor#comment_11669"&gt;he hates my guts&lt;/a&gt; (can&amp;#39;t blame the guy), but all is good because I&amp;#39;ll always be grateful to him and the paranormal is uber-cool. Check it and you&amp;#39;ll understand what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://brondu.zaadz.com/"&gt;&lt;img class="buddyicon" src="http://aura.zaadz.com/photos/12225/icon/D12.jpg" alt="Brondu : Brondu&amp;#39;s Meditations" title="Brondu : Brondu&amp;#39;s Meditations" width="48" height="48" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;a href="http://brondu.zaadz.com/blog"&gt;Brondu&amp;#39;s Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;Don&amp;#39;t get fooled by this guy who has an &lt;a href="http://brondu.zaadz.com/blog/2006/3/all_im_really_trying_to_say_is_i_have_looooong_greasy_hair#comment_11956"&gt;avatar that looks more like a hippo than a horse &lt;/a&gt;(my apologies to &lt;a href="http://brondu.zaadz.com/photos/view/12226"&gt;Dandy&lt;/a&gt;). According to &lt;a href="http://brondu.zaadz.com/"&gt;his profile&lt;/a&gt; he&amp;#39;s just 18 years old, and he&amp;#39;s from Canada. For now let&amp;#39;s take this as truth. He also claims that he has a &lt;a href="http://brondu.zaadz.com/blog/2006/3/all_im_really_trying_to_say_is_i_have_looooong_greasy_hair"&gt;looong(non)greasy hair&lt;/a&gt;. What I&amp;#39;m really trying to say is: this blogger is flowing with originality and style that even &lt;a href="http://houseoffame.blogspot.com/"&gt;Geoffrey Chaucer&lt;/a&gt; would envy. He has this weird command with flowing words and punctuations even though most of the time he&amp;#39;s geeky and infected with &lt;a href="http://coolmel.typepad.com/iblog/2006/03/wilberitis_and_.html"&gt;Wilberitis and Deidaism&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But those sickness are beside the point. In fact, I picked up a lot of my writing tone from this kid. I flex-flowed with him since the first time I &lt;a href="http://brondu.zaadz.com/blog/2006/3/why_blog_or_everything_is_bloggable#comment_11850"&gt;mocked his writing&lt;/a&gt;. So that&amp;#39;s why I&amp;#39;m rectifying my karma by including him on my top 3 list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://simplicity-seeker.zaadz.com/"&gt;&lt;img class="buddyicon" src="http://aura.zaadz.com/photos/12382/icon/63050277_21494b8f50_s.jpg" alt="Maile : Simplicity Seeker" title="Maile : Simplicity Seeker" width="48" height="48" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;a href="http://simplicity-seeker.zaadz.com/blog"&gt;Maile&amp;#39;s Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oh what can I say about Maile, except that we&amp;#39;re both &lt;a href="http://simplicity-seeker.zaadz.com/blog/2006/3/is_cron_worth_it#comment_13360"&gt;similarly SCREWED&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/em&gt; We&amp;#39;re both fans of &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0743455967/coolmel-20"&gt;Stephen King On Writing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. We&amp;#39;re both being assimilated by &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0670033847/coolmel-20"&gt;The Singularity&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. We both resonate with Buddhism and &lt;a href="http://coolmel.typepad.com/iblog/2006/03/ignorantselfish.html"&gt;Buddhist++&lt;/a&gt;. Our only difference is, &lt;em&gt;her writing is clear, concise, and conscious&lt;/em&gt;, that&amp;#39;s why I always read her blog. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aside from the aforementioned reasons, Maile has also taught me &lt;a href="../../../culture/discussions/view/2871#3526"&gt;the value of Naikan&lt;/a&gt;. Also, more often than not, I find serendipitous things on her blog posts. For example, her blog post entitled, &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://simplicity-seeker.zaadz.com/blog/2006/4/dont_waste_your_life"&gt;Don&amp;#39;t Waste Your Life&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, gave me goosebumps, because I needed that affirmation, and she gave it to me. So there. &lt;em&gt;Thanks Maile, I owe you a big one.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you have it. Now it&amp;#39;s your turn. Pick your Top 3 Zaadz blog, very consciously....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(NOTE: Let&amp;#39;s exempt &lt;a href="http://brian.zaadz.com/blog"&gt;Brian&amp;#39;s blog&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://www.zaadz.com/about"&gt;Wizardz&amp;#39;s blog&lt;/a&gt; from this because we all read their blogs so we can understand where Zaadz is headed... oh, ok, &lt;a href="http://coolmel.zaadz.com/blog/2006/4/c4chaos_is_matthews_biatch_for_now"&gt;Matthew, you rock too&lt;/a&gt;, can I eat now?)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
