Oh, and I almost forgot, I got my second ever blog
As it turns out, there are a few blogs I've been following and would love to just say "Hey, try this on for size. I like it, maybe you will, too. We're all alone in this together."
The "rules:"
1) Add the logo of the award to your blog.
2) Add a link to the person who awarded it to you.
3) Nominate at least 7 other blogs (or whatever random number you want :)
4) Add links to those blogs on your blog.
5) Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs.
I. For a huge variety of random insight, often musical, point your clicker on I May Have Been Born Yesterday But I Stayed Up All Night. Mr. Kiggins is an interesting fellow with a great writing voice. He will offer you samples of "music" so obscure that it is likely that aliens in space have heard it before you. As a Jr. High custodian, he also has access to insightful bits of graffiti and doodles. And brilliant dating tips/anecdotes. If I could, I would totally use my matchmaking skills to find him someone who could appreciate his potential.
II. A strange little cubbyhole, try Everything Must Go! Ken likes to deconstruct advice columns and provides, free of charge, very useful bits of dating and marriage tips. Fearlessly weighing in on adult topics without becoming crass or puerile, I find his messages useful and entertaining.
III. Not to leave out the female bloggers, I like I Like to Read. Jenny is a friend of a friend and, though I've never met her, nor do I imbibe alcohol (is that redundant - you can imbibe things besides alcohol, right?), if I ever went bar hopping, I think I'd want to go with her. Such a funny take on life. And, she once asked me for dating advice. Me. Highly entertaining.
IV. I think this is a pretty popular blog, but I've only recently discovered "Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?" Mamatuplip writes with that perfect bittersweet voice. She has you laughing a moment before she makes you cry like a baby. Or maybe it's just me.
V. I often wish I had my own "A Room Of Mama's Own" - a place to really get it out there under the safety of a pseudonym. Mary P. Jones is a really intense writer with heart wrenching stories to share. Think you're life's been challenging? Read this blog and thank your lucky stars. Or empathize.
VI. With his spot-on spelling, grammar, amd pronounciation, dear Literal Dan never fails to pluck out momints of parenthood and tern them into bloggy gold. Whether giving voice too his daughter's naked dolls ("... can I have my pants back now, please, so everyone can stop looking at my "bagina"?) or simply taunting me to barrage him with commints (stupid little talley bored - (I'm #1 right now, if your whondering), Mr. Chicago is indefatigable.
VII. Last, but never least, my favorite Buddhist priest, Karen Maezen Miller writing at Cheerio Road (among other places) is always writing perfection over at her blog. Just honest, brilliant, perfection.
There are several more blogs I would love to include, but alas, I guess I'll just have to wait until I get another award/chain letter. I try to keep my blog roll up to date with the blogs I follow, so there you go.
I'm kind of shy ... I really have to go tell these guys I awarded them? I'll try.
4 Brilliant Bits of Inspiration:
Hey thanks. I will at least pay you back, if I don't actually pay it forward.
Thank you very much! And nice touch on the spelling errors in my section-- even though you were doing it on purpose, you were too good at it, so the top of my brain started twitching.
I especially like that in amongst all that, you still spelled "indefatigable" correctly.
(Side note: My CAPTCHA is "explotto" which sounds like a really cool word just begging for a meaning. Way to go, random Google computer!)
Thanks so much for the love!
Done! Thanks again!
