I had the big man Tanner Thompson for my blog analysis,
and to be completely honest I was actually really excited to review his blog. I already knew it was good, and I knew I wouldn't dread reading through everything.
And I was so right.
Things I loved about his blog:
-The simplicity of it. I don't know how you did it Tanner, but you managed to make your blog simple, yet complicated, and deeper than most blogs I've read. Having those qualities mesh into one harmonious masterpiece is something that I'm very jealous of, and I seriously admire about your blog.
-How powerful his words were. He has an amazing ability to string together words together in such a way that it hits your heart harder than your eyes. I love that.
-The titles I thought were so clever, and they tied into your posts flawlessly.
-The material you wrote about. you executed it so well, and you wrote about the most real things, and that is what keeps people interested. You really know how to draw a reader in.
Things I would have changed:
I seriously couldn't really think of anything other than maybe just adding some pictures here and there, changing the font up, and adding music to your blog. But honestly, none of that really affects your writing, so just forget I said that. Moving on.
I sat here forever reading through Tanners blog, and I could not for the life of me choose even a top 3 favorite posts, but I do have a top 7. They are:
-Answers
-Take me there
-The boy who didn't cry wolf
-I'm afraid we don't add up
-Pronouns
-How to be a doosh bag
-Love is Plagiarism
Something I really thought was unique about Tanner is that he writes cryptically, but not too much. its the perfect amount, so you still know what hes eluding to, yet he keeps you guessing. I seriously think that that is one of my favorite things about your entire blog. I wish I could do that, I am just so straightforward and I hate it. So go you.
Favorite Quotes:
SERIOUSLY THERE ARE SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM
it was starting to piss me off
"Despite the constant flow of O2 by my side, she still gives me reasons to forget to breathe"

Who is Tanner Thompson to me?
He is a kid I have known since childhood
one of the kids I had a lil crush on in 10th and 11th grade
The kid who dated my childhood best friend
Someone I think insanely high of
And someone who is now in my Top 3 favorite bloggers.
A very real person, and a great friend.
Tanner, you are not only an exceptional writer, but you are an exceptional person. You are one of the most genuine people I know and it really comes through in your blog. Your vocabulary is fantastic, and execution of ideas should get a gold star.
I love your blog, I loved reviewing it, and I love you. I think everyone needs to read you, because you are definitely one to remember.
Sincerely yours,
Flat Stanley (Micah)
I don't know what to say. This easily made the top 5 kindest things anyone has ever said to me. Ever. And that's saying something because I've had a really nice mom for the past 18 years. Thank you, Micah, for everything you said. It all meant way more coming from you. You just gave me a little bit of pride, the good kind not the bad, and I am so grateful for that. You're the best, thanks for always being so.
