It’s A Major Award Show

I would like to invite all of you to visit my awards pages.  I have the priviledge of drawing attention to some of the blogs I enjoy through the presentation of several awards.  The And the Award Goes To  page contains links to all of the different awards being presented.  If you haven’t time for all of them, I’d really like you to check out the 7 x 7 Link Award.  It links seven of my favorite blogs and seven of my older posts — the ones I consider Most Beautiful, Most Helpful, Most Popular, Most Controversial, Most Surprisingly Successful, Most Underrated, and Most Prideworthy.  I’m quite proud of them all, but that one in particular.

Regular posts will begin again in the next day or two.  Thank you all for your patience while I discharged my “Freshly Pressed” and blog award duties.  I’ll try to make the next post a good one.

The Versatile Blogger

I’m of two minds when it comes to these blog awards.  First, I’m always honored to have my writing recognized in any way, shape or form.  This one is especially surprising because I don’t really know the blogger bestowing it.  Thank you, Angel Land Canada, I am most grateful. You can be sure I have already been checking out your site.  Second, I believe it is a great way to find new and interesting blogs to read.  That’s the angel sitting on my right shoulder.   The devil on my left is whispering, “Run away.  You remember what happened last time.”  To fill you in, last time I got a blog award it was a precursor to going into blog hiding for almost two years.  Well, let’s give this another go.

I am passing this award on to 15 blogs I personally follow:

• . .a misplaced boy . .
• Omphalos Cafe
• Phil’s Lounge
• Sargastic Irrevalence
• Angry Rant
• The Panda Chronicles
• Barking in the Dark
• Always Curtsy When You Sneeze
• Lady with a Truck
• Conditional Cognition
• Nigel Windsor
• The Creative Juicer
• Never Contrary
• Sheeple Liberator
• Stay Abnormal

Now I’m supposed to reveal seven things about myself. 

1. I’m a Wikipedia junkie  . . . I will search anything and I do it all the time.
2. I have a lhasa apso named Rocky that talks . . . he also happy dances with me when no one is around.
3. I’m a failed computer graphic artist . . . I never could color inside the lines or release artist license.
4. I met my best friend through this blog . . . we’ve been friends almost four years now.
5. I’m a natural blonde . . . the carpet matches the drapes . . . TMI?
6. I won’t eat any meat still on the bone . . . it’s too much like eating an animal . . . I know . . . meat = animal, but if I don’t see the bones I can handle it.
7. I was Chinese in a past life . . . I know this because I could eat Chinese every day, three meals a day.

So, there it is.  The important thing is for you to check out the blogs I’ve linked here.  They are awesome.
