I'm in 9rules

Posted on June 4, 2006.

Dear Paul, Colin, Mike, and Tyme:

Thanks for the add!

If you haven't heard of 9rules yet, it is a blog network that highlights some of the best blogs on the interweb. This would imply that christianmontoya.com is one of the best blogs on the interweb, so this one goes out to all the hataz. I'm like, totally in, and there's very little chance that I'll do anything stupid enough to get myself kicked out.

Random interviewer with microphone: Christian Montoya, you've just been accepted into 9rules. What are you going to do now?

Me: I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD! … Actually, no, I'm not… see, being accepted into 9rules only means one thing; I'll keep fighting the good fight, being myself and writing about what I love (rule 1). And I will constantly try to improve (rule 8 ). Actually that makes two things, but it's really one thing in a figurative sense.

I have to thank Natalie by the way, who was the first to let me know about the add. I was preparing for a party around 3 pm and completely forgot about the list launch. If you would like to see all the sites that got in, 111 in all, then make sure to check out the 9rules blog. There's quite a few sites in there that I already know, (some are in my blogroll), and I have to give a big congrats to all the fellow entrants. Here's to collectively taking 9rules, and the blog-o-sphere, by storm.

    Congrats!! :D I knew you were one of the bloggers out there to begin with. It's about time other people noticed though.

    By the way, you've been very Biblical lately. Fighting the good fight, eh? Right on.

    and, Congrats, Christian! Round 4ers for life!

    Congrats on making the cut. I can't see where the 9rules team categorizes certain sites.

  7. FoxyLady on June 4, 2006

    how could I forget to mention the myspace little sparkler thing. It's annoying the crap out of me in true myspace fashion.

    I found it funny though. :P Please update soon so it will stop drawing my eyes to it.

  8. Daz on June 4, 2006

    Congratulations sir! A very worthy addition to the network :)

    (You love Myspace really - add roxo when you get a chance ;))

  9. AJ on June 4, 2006
