Review

9. Welcome to Babyl-On

I really enjoyed this blog because it was very down to earth and descriptive of the everyday trials and tribulations that we all go through. Its topics are random but are full of deep thought and good insight. Within its sarcasm and irony, the reader finds humor in the misfortunes and less desirable happenings of the writer. I especially liked the post on the writer's father. It really reminded me of how our parents embarass us sometimes, especially in front of people we tend to be more shy around.
