The O Word Wins an Award!
April 14th, 2009 . by Cary
I knew that eventually, someone, some day, would recognize what an awesome job I’m doing by maintaining this little corner information kiosk on the information superhighway.
Well, actually, it was awarded last month, and I only just today found out about it because – well, read through and you’ll figure it out.
Mary of “Hidden Treasures” thought I deserved this award. From the obligatory pass-ot-on verbiage:
“This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog’s content or design is, in the giver’s opinion, brilliant.”
“When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to the said person so everyone knows she/he is real. Choose a minimum of seven (7) blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have seven friends. Show the seven random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with Honest Weblog. Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten (10) honest things about yourself. Then pass it on!”
OK, first, the ten (10) honest things about myself:
Now then – who to bestow this prestigious honor upon…
Of course, I will start with the bloggers that I know and have broken bread with:
Then there are those who I hope to meet soon (in no particular order):
Sues, Texas Fred, Jenn, Gunny John, Bushwack, and Bloviating Zeppelin.
I know, that’s nine. (11. I can’t count and have a hard time leaving off deserving people.)
This sure leaves off a lot of deserving blogs – but if I get awarded again, I can certainly hand out another grouping.
I’m off to leave the “harassing comment informing them” so ya’ll have a good day.
Chat ya later…
Thank you for stopping by, In GOD We Trust, God bless you all, don’t buy or breed cats or dogs while homeless pets die (spay, neuter & adopt a pet, one by one, until there are none), Wear Red on Fridays, and support Warriors for Innocence!
Thank you most kindly for the mention!
Who is your favorite bass player?
BZ
Thank you, I think, for thinking of me.
We’re alike, you and me, in that I also don’t like blowing my own horn. The post I just published today has been sitting forever, waiting for the button to be pushed for just that reason.
We both need to loosen up, doncha think?
BZ – You are welcome. As far as my favorite bass player, it’s gotta be this guy. He’s just flat amazing.
GB – yes, we are alike.
That post you pushed the button on today is very good. If you have more memories like that stored, bring ’em out, dust ’em off and share, wouldja? Verbal (written) history from that era is too often kept under wraps. The world needs to know that you are all heroes in your own way.
(BZ – in case you didn’t know, he’s the bass player for Bela Fleck and the Flecktones)
Well thank you for thinking of me, I’ll try to put something together amid this disaster we call a government… Ooops I didn’t mean it, I mean I hear they are watching us.. Be careful guys LOL.
Thanks for mentioning me and WFI!! I’ll have to pass on participating, since WFI is not a “personal blog”, but I appreciate the kudos.
Robert – you are welcome. Your blog is one of the inspirations I drew from when I started, and I hope to be reading you for many more moons.
Sues – You, too, are most welcome.
Since your “personal blog” has been dormant, I wanted you to know that I think your blog(s) are up there. If/when your personal blog gets going again, put it on there.
Congratulations. I’m glad to have found your site today, I’ll be back.
Thank you, Kris. And thank you for stopping by. While I can’t promise a visit everyday, your blog appears to be one of similar interest to mine, so I will be over there occasionally.
