Diggs Dynamite (redacted)

It's appx 72 hrs after I first posted my original comments about Diggs. Am I taking it all back--no, I just thought 'redacted' might grab your attention.

Q. So, why another post?
A. Um, I promise not to gush this time . . . in fact, now that the initial 'woo!' has worn off, I feel a bit embarrassed by that first post. It was the verbal equivalent of a squeal upon finding a pair of Manolo Blahniks at a fabulous price, except usually when I'm shoe shopping I'm not connected to The Internets, so most people miss the opportunity to laugh and point.

Q. Why don't you just edit the original post instead of making me read through another potentially scary one?
A. I'm leaving it up (despite my very strong desire to edit it) because that was what I was feeling at the time, that was 'who I was' when I wrote it. Changing it now would be like removing a tattoo you got when you were 15 and have since become someone else--the tattoo no longer truly represents you, it's just a reminder of who you were.

Q. What are you saying? That 3 days ago you loved Diggs and now you don't?
A. Nope--still really like it, just embarrassed about the reaction. If I had waited until today to write that post, it would probably go something like this:

"A few days ago I found some really great music while trying to track down (NOT stalk) this guy who is an old friend of some of my current Urban Family (but strangely they do not have any current contact info). GREAT music, cool guy, buy a CD, here's a link. Also, he looks better in eye liner than I do (%##**%$#!!!)."

[If that's not eyeliner and his lashes are really that thick I will kill myself--it's sooo not fair.]

Slightly less dramatic, definitely does not qualify as 'over the top', and makes it a little easier to walk out in public. I think it could be the adult equivalent of "What did you do in school today?" "Nothing."
