  There are some blogs that you return to again and again, not just to read the latest entry but to browse the archive of past musings.
Over the months, I have spent hours immersed in the writing of Blackrat, 'The Accidental Journalist'. Always interesting, usually topical and with the kind of posts that have you reaching for the 'comment' button. The conversations between the author and his readers are often as compelling as the original article. Blackrat introduces his blog with the following words, I'm an ordinary bloke but feel as if I'm living the life of another.
For the past five years, I've lived almost every dream I've ever had. Several careers and a lack of direction all came together when I was 30 and I found a previously untapped ability to use my experience and make things happen. It doesn't feel like work, I'd pay to do my job. I am the accidental journalist and this is my story. More of the story of how he came to find himself traveling the world, writing features and commentating on world events can be found in the section entitled urlLink The Accidental Journalist .
For anyone interested in the Iraq war and current situation in Iraq - urlLink The View From Inside , is a must read. Blackrat spent a month in the war zone and wrote extensively on his experiences. Polish off your opinions, make yourself a cup of coffee and take some time to enjoy someone else's life.
