You know, I always thought these blog awards were nothing more than a popularity contest, building even more so on the frail egos of the popular, while trampling on the different and unaccepted. And then something changed. I won one.
Yes, my beloved bride to be Dawn has chosen me (along with two others) as a Blogging StarTM. So life does imitate art. Awards are fixed so your friends win. It’s finally nice to be on the other side.
As for the rules to this:
A. Display the award on your blog along with a link to who gave it to you.
B. Mention that it originated at Skittles’ Place so Barb can follow it’s journey. (Done and done).
C. Pass it on to any blogger(s) you think should have it.
Now as to my recipients:
First, in the complete argument of picking your firends, I pick my oldest and longest lasting friend. Todd. The anti-blogger. His blahg has been running in idle for near a year, but does very consistently rear his [ugly] head to latch onto some minor bit he disagrees with and clamp down on the bit. So he is a star for his relentless pursuit of the truth over the trivial.
Second, we have Peter. Simply put, though we have our differences of opinion and of view, we seem to find some common ground on most issues. A good model for where we all as people must grow towards.
Third must be MCF. He has the most thought provoking excersises that puts most to all meh-me’s to shame.
And lastly I have to recognize Ombudsben. You have to respect any Yank who has a real appreciation for the great game of hockey.
That is all.
